Instructions

Step 1: Use a sheet of Bright White Solid Cardstock as the base for this layout. Cut a sheet of straight road scene designer paper to 11-1/2″ x 11-1/2″. Cut the bottom of this piece off at 4″ and flip to the reverse side (yellow tire tracks). Adhere both pieces on the base.

Step 2: Crop a photo to 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ and mount on a piece of Bright White Cardstock cut to 4″ x 5-1/2″. Adhere on a red polka dot variety mat and mount on the layout as shown.

Step 3: Cut the “Road Trip Highlights” variety mat to 3-1/4″ x 4″ and adhere on the middle of the yellow strip. Crop two photos to 3″ x 3″ and mount on two 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ pieces of Bright White Cardstock. Adhere on the yellow strip as shown.

Step 4: Adhere embellishments, popping some up with foam squares for dimension.
