Here’s a great way to make sure the memories of your trip stay fresh forever. It’s compact, portable and a convenient way to keep your photos, restaurant menus, train tickets, and all the small things that make your trip important to you.

With the UniKeep Mini View Case Binders, EnvyPak Photo Sheet Protectors, and Adhesive Pockets, you can create a Travel Journal that will keep all of your travel keepsakes safe, dry and organized.

And it looks great, too!

Journal Cover

Using decorative paper, create a cover for your Travel Journal that measures about 14.75 in. x 9.125 in. Decorate and label your journal with fun stickers and embellishments.

Title Page

Cut 5.75 x 9 inch rectangles out of a card stock paper and punch 3 holes into the left side of the rectangle. Use the template provided here to assist you in creating your page.

Decorate the Title Page

Create layouts for your page using decorative papers, embellishments, and photos from your travels.

On the reverse side of the page, attach EnvyPak Business Card Adhesive Pockets or 4 x 6 inch Photo Adhesive Pockets to store keepsakes such as tickets stubs, brochures, or foreign currency.

Title Page Tab

Using your choice of card stock, cut out a small rectangle measuring about 1.5 in. x 1.75 in. Fold the rectangle in half over the edge of the page. Allow the rectangle to extend beyond the edge a bit, creating your tab. Adhere to both sides of the page. Label and decorate.

Sheet Protectors and Photo Pages

Use EnvyPak Mini Sheet Protectors to hold additional keepsakes, or create new decorative pages to include in your journal. Mini Sheet Protectors hold pages up to 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

Add 3 x 5 inch or 5 x 7 inch photos to your journal with Mini Photo Sheet Protectors. Insert photos into the sleeves. Create your own 5 x 1.25 inch labels to include with your photos.
