Hiking Layout with 16 Photos!

We have done other layouts with Outdoors and More's new Foto Flaps, but this one takes using them to the max! This layout uses 16 4"x6" photos! It is extremely quick to make (done in just seconds) and it takes no embellishments, but still looks very nice! And it's fun to flip through all the pictures.

For this, you will need Outdoors and More's Red Rock paper, one package of Landscape Foto Flaps, and one package of Portrait Foto Flaps.

The first thing to do is on the paper attach one landscape picture on the bottom left side and one portrait picture on the bottom right side, as shown below:

Next, insert this page into your scrapbook album inside of a clear sheet protector.

Get four Landscape Foto Flaps and three Portrait Foto Flaps. Space the Foto Flaps in a cascading manner down the page about every two inches, keeping the Landscape Foto Flaps on the left side and the Portrait Foto Flaps on the right side making sure not to cover up the pictures that are already attached to the paper, as shown below:

Final step, fill with pictures and flip through the fun. These are pictures from a hike we went on in the southwest, hence why we used the Red Rock paper, but his layout can look great with any of Outdoors and More's paper collection.

A few ways to add even more photos:

Do as a two page layout resulting in 32 photos!

Space Foto Flaps even closer together resulting in an estimated 30 photos on one page!

Beach Layout With Hidden Pictures - Part 2

With summer comes visits to lakes and oceans. Here the second of a two part article on a fun beach layout that you can insert A LOT of pictures onto a single scrapbook page and not loose the fun of adding embellishments or cover all the artwork on a favorite scrapbook paper.

This layout requires Outdoors and More's Beach Snapshot Boarder Paper #2 and a package of Portrait Foto Flaps.

This layout requires absolutely no cutting, so it is very quick and very nice looking, but holds a fun surprise. On the left side are three full 4"x6" photographs. On the center photo, we added a little journal about our experiences at the beach on a semi-clear paper. You now are basically done!

Now comes the easy part. Many scrapbookers like to add lots of embellishments, but still want to add a lot of photographs, while many other scrapbookers don't want to cover up all the artwork on their favorite scrapbook paper. Here is a quick and easy way to solve both problems:

Outdoors and More's Foto Flaps are an easy way to add photographs and not loose space to embellishments or cover paper artwork. Simply add a Foto Flap onto the protective cover of you scrapbook album, insert some 4"x6" photos, and flip it up to expose your embellishments and paper artwork beneath.

As you can see from this view, we added a Portrait Foto Flap to the page over the cool beach and ocean artwork of the paper. It is too much fun to cover up with a photograph, but we wanted to have more photos on this page.

Foto Flaps have been so much fun to work with! I hope you enjoy them too, and please let us see what type of creations you come up with.

Beach Layout With Hidden Pictures - Part 1

With summer comes visits to lakes and oceans. Here the first of a two part article on a fun beach layout that you can insert A LOT of pictures onto a single scrapbook page.

This layout requires Outdoors and More's Beach Snapshot Boarder Paper #1, Beach Alphabet, and a package of Landscape Foto Flaps.

As you can see, the layout is not very difficult. Spell out "Surf Sand Sea" with the Beach Alphabet Lettering as shown on the example, and write or attach "and" across the "s" on "Sea".

Attach several beach photos as shown on the example. One 4"x6" photo is layed landscape across the paper, and two smaller photos are attached below. Your layout is now pretty much finished.

Now comes the fun part. Insert your layout into the protective sheet in your scrapbook album. On the protective sheet, and over the 4"x6" picture, attach several Landscape Foto Flaps as shown in the examples below. Insert several pictures, and you now have a bunch of "hidden" pictures that children love to look at and flip open.

The patent pending Foto Flaps are a quick and easy way to add pictures to any scrapbook page, journal, or photo album. They create an instant “hidden door” that can instantly create fun for children, women and even men when they relive those precious memories.
