When I travel I collect all sorts of 'stuff.'
Hard to keep in a box so I make scrap-books.
Very simple, no special attention given to pages.
I make them with found paper, brown bags are good.
Wrinkle up and then iron flat.
Good number and size 12 x 8 inches. make about 6 sheets folded in half to created 24 pages.
Sew down center, wrap some torn fabric along spine. Add some assorted yarns as decoration.
See my cover with scrim glued on spine.
Make a special cover that denotes the place visited or the country.

Add a pocket on back inside cover and put tickets and small things in there
To collage pages, sew together in no special order things you saved
Turn them sideways or cross others and make patches big enough to almost cover each page.
Glue on the final collage or sew to pages, watch both sides though
