You, your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, everyone are sure to orbit into galactic greatness, for the new Outta This World collection has blasted into the scrapbooking stratosphere! This collection is as kid-friendly as it is cosmically cool. (Greetings, smiling planets, astronauts, shooting stars and spaceships!) Plus, these products are perfect not only for the aspiring Buzz Aldrin and Sally Ride, but it’s also super for projects based on the first day of school, playtime, field trips, birthday parties and more. Well, let’s buckle up and take a ride with this outer space scrapbook layout!

To create this layout you will need:

Check out the whole Outta This World collection in the video below!

Step 1: Use a piece of sky blue winding path designer paper as the base for this layout. (Tip: You may wish to cut away the inside to conserve paper.)

Step 2: Cut a piece of White Solid Cardstock to measure 11-1/2″ x 11-1/2″. Set the Circle Cutter dial to 10-1/2″. Align the Circle Cutter onto the middle cardstock. Insert the Black Dual-Tip Pen (fine tip) in the pen slot, hold the Circle Cutter in place and draw a circle. Move the Circle Cutter slightly and draw another and then a third circle, overlapping the lines.

Step 3: Cut a 12″ x 1-3/4″ strip of orange craters paper. Cut four 6″ x 1/4″ strips from a striped mat. Adhere to the strip. Add stars and Milky Way border stickers to the strip. Mount on the bottom of the layout, about 1/4″ from the edge.

Step 4: Mount the “Outta this world” mat on a 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ piece of night sky stars paper. Mount a 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ photo on a 6″ x 4-1/4″ piece of lemon yellow lightning paper. Mount a 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ photo on a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of orange craters paper. Adhere all pieces to the layout, as shown.

Step 5: Add planet and star stickers and embellishments to the drawn “orbit,” popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 6: Journal as desired. Use the Orange Dot Tip Pen to dot around the orbit rings as shown.
