Off Road Card

Here is a quick and easy thank you card for those 4x4 lovers.

It uses Outdoors and More's Sticky Off Road Accents and sticky Off Road Alphabet.

We used an old card that we did not like the cover of it - it was WAY to girly. So we covered it up with a piece of blue paper.

Using the Off Road Alphabet, we spelled out "THANX" on it ("THANKS" was too long to fit onto the card).

From the Off Road Accents, we used "no guts, no glory" and a bunch of the wheels.

I hope the person we are sending this to likes it!

Happy Scrapping!

Space Moving Memories Layout - Part 2

One of my favorite things to do during the summer is find a nice grassy hill late at night at peer up into the starry night. Here is a great layout to remember beautiful nights, or to remember exploring a planetarium or science center. This is fun because this page spins around, much like the sky does. This is part two of a two part series.

For this layout, you will need Outdoors and More's Space Moving Memories Kit.

While at this local science center, I got pictures of my wife in front of an astronaut suit and pretending to walk on the moon like Niel Armstrong.

The accents page has a great looking astronaut floating through space - that just had to go near the picture of my wife my the space suit. Also, it came with a picture of the moon, perfect for her moon walk.

To put together the Moving Memories page, it is first easiest to decorate it, then follow the instruction provided in the package to put it together.

It's SOOOOO much fun to play with the Moving Memories and watch your memories flood back to you like a spinning wheel. Moving Memories are hard to show in pictures, they're just something that you have to hold in your hands and play with to live the entire experience.
Here is what the layout looks like when you put the two pages together. I love space, and I think this is my personal favorite kit that Outdoors and More has made so far.

Happy Scrapping!

Space Moving Memories Layout - Part 1

One of my favorite things to do during the summer is find a nice grassy hill late at night at peer up into the starry night. Here is a great layout to remember beautiful nights, or to remember exploring a planetarium or science center. This is part one of a two part series.

For this layout, you will need Outdoors and More's Space Moving Memories Kit.

For this half of the layout, we used the galaxy paper. We had a picture of my niece and nephew peering through a telescope at a local science center. We cut out the background because it distracted from the pictures, and then we matted them onto the red nebula paper with the saying "Stars" and "Star Gazing" fro the accents page.

We then used the blue Neptune, red Sun, and swirling galaxy from the accents page to decorate the rest of the paper.

The nice thing about these kits is all the accents and alphabet are die-cut, so it's just a matter of deciding what you want to go where. It's so nice not having to cut anything.

Let your astronaut take flight, and happy scrapping!

Watermelon or Picnic Moving Memories Layout - Part 1

This is a great layout showing the fun of using Outdoors and More's new Moving Memories Kits, and is part two of a two part article. This part also uses Outdoors and More's new Moving Memories page.

This layout uses the Watermelon Moving Memories Kit. The Picnic Quick Cropper also matches well with this kit.

From the Watermelon Kit, get the Watermelon circle page and the Watermelon Rind page. Follow the directions in the kit to put the Moving Memories page together.

It's SOOOOO much fun to play with the Moving Memories and watch your memories flood back to you like a spinning wheel. Moving Memories are hard to show in pictures, they're just something that you have to hold in your hands and play with to live the entire experience.

To decorate the Watermelon Rind page, we used a piece from the Watermelon Seeds page just larger than 4"x6" that will frame a picture. (An additional hint: laying over this picture on the plastic protective page is a great place to add a couple of Outdoors and More's Portrait Foto Flaps. Read this Beach blog to learn how to use Portrait Foto Flaps or this Beach blog to learn how to use Landscape Foto Flaps.)

For this page, we also used the "I Think It's Time For Watermelon", watermelon thought bubble, "My Fruity Lover", and the row of watermelon seeds, all found on the accents page.

This is how the entire Watermelon Kit layout will look when placed side-to-side:
Have fun with this layout, I think it's one of Outdoors and More's best layouts yet.

Happy Scrapping!
