How to Create the Perfect Staycation Scrapbook 

At Revel Inn Rentals, we believe the best memories are the ones you can hold onto — literally! While a camera roll full of photos is great, there’s something extra special about a scrapbook filled with handwritten notes, tucked-in mementos, and all the cozy details of your stay.

Ready to capture your perfect getaway? Here’s how to create a staycation scrapbook you’ll love flipping through for years to come.

1. Snap the Small Moments

Sure, you'll want that golden-hour selfie and wide shots of the view — but don’t forget the little things too:

  • Your morning coffee setup on the deck

  • Seashells you found on the beach

  • A cozy nook where you journaled

  • The first star you spotted at night
    Small moments bring big feelings when you look back later.

2. Collect Tiny Treasures

Keep little mementos to make your scrapbook even more personal:

  • A sprig of wildflower

  • A beach ticket or brochure

  • A handwritten note to yourself

  • A napkin from a coffee shop you visited
    Tip: Store everything safely in an envelope during your stay so nothing gets lost!

3. Write It While It’s Fresh

While you're still wrapped up in the magic, jot down:

  • How the air smelled

  • What you were feeling that morning

  • The best thing you ate

  • A funny or sweet moment you don't want to forget
    Even just a few lines will bring you right back to the moment later.

4. Get Creative with Layouts

Your scrapbook doesn’t have to be fancy — just heartfelt!
Mix in:

  • Polaroids or printed photos

  • Doodles or watercolor splashes

  • Quotes or lyrics that match your vibe

  • Washi tape, stickers, or pressed flowers

Every page should feel like your staycation: free, fun, and filled with personal touches.

5. End with a Reflection

On the last page, write a little letter to your future self.
What did you learn during your stay? What moments made you happiest? What’s one thing you want to remember when life gets busy again?

Your scrapbook isn’t just a collection of memories — it’s a reminder of how good it feels to slow down and savor.
