Scrapbooking a Vision Board Style Layout

Creating a vision board-style scrapbook layout is a wonderful way to blend creativity with intention. It allows you to not only play with papers, embellishments and photographs, but also to visualise and express something you want in the future — whether that’s a tangible goal or an overall feeling or lifestyle.

Unlike traditional vision boards made on pinboards or poster paper, a scrapbook version becomes part of your personal story, nestled among your memories and experiences.

One of the most powerful reasons to make this type of layout is the way it helps clarify your desires. Seeing your goals laid out visually, with images, words, colours, and motifs  can bring surprising clarity and motivation. A vision board layout can also act as a gentle nudge each time you flick through your scrapbook, reminding you of where you're headed and what you’re working towards.

There’s no right way to approach a vision board layout, and that’s part of the joy. You might use magazine clippings, Pinterest printouts, old or new photographs, or hand-lettered quotes.

Subject-wise, the possibilities are endless. You might create a layout around:

• A dream home – This could include your ideal location, interior style, garden ideas or even specific features like a reading nook or craft room.
• Career aspirations – Perhaps you’re aiming for a new job, to start a creative business, or to work fewer hours. Imagery and words can help you visualise what success looks like for you.
• Travel dreams – Feature destinations on your wish list, travel quotes, or photos of places you’ve already been as inspiration for what’s next.
• Health and wellness goals – This could take the form of nourishing food imagery, active lifestyle shots, or calming nature scenes to represent improved wellbeing.
• Planning your garden – Pictures of the plants and flowers you want to grow, photos of designs you love.
• A future celebration – Maybe you're planning a special birthday, retirement, or wedding. Use your layout to dream big and play with colour palettes, decorations and event details.
• Personal growth – Focus on habits you want to build, words to live by, or the kind of person you want to become. You might include affirmations, symbolic icons, or journalling strips with your hopes and intentions.

Vision board layouts can be deeply personal or openly aspirational, and there's no need to wait for a new year or a life milestone to begin. They’re a lovely exercise in dreaming, creating, and setting direction — all while doing what scrapbookers love best: telling stories with meaning.
