Mountain Biking in Moab Scrapbook Page

This summer we took a trip to Utah to visit their National Parks and Monuments, and while we were there we spent 3 days in Moab. Since we like to mountain bike, we thought it would be fun to try mountain biking there. So we booked a tour at Dead Horse Point State Park, whose trail system is well known out there for mountain biking. The trail was hard. A lot harder than we thought it would be. But it was quite the adventure and we did have fun. Although I wasn't able to stop often or take many photos on the trail since we were with a group, I was able to get a few good shots before and after the ride, and at one of the overlooks we stopped at.

Scrapping these photos was so much fun! I had been keeping an eye out for any biking themed papers or supplies for a while, and had picked up a few things that I wanted to use including some metal gears, wooden cut-outs and bike themed paper. I was able to find paper with bikes, gears, and tire tracks that fit the color scheme I wanted to use.

The pattern in the yellow paper reminded me of the inner spokes of a bike tire.

The color scheme I used on here - kraft, grey, blue, yellow, and white, I used throughout the Utah albums. I was able to mix and match papers that were not bike themed with those that were to keep the same feel as the rest of the layouts in the book. These layouts also have some black accents in the tire tracks.   

We stopped at one scenic overlook in the park where we were able to do some photos, which turned out really nice. Our tour guide even took family photos of us all together.

I tried to add the wooden and metal bike related accents where I could on the pages, and I was able to download a few Moab pieces of clip art and printed those out to use as well. I used several wooden cut-outs on these laytouts, which I haven't used a lot before. I wasn't really sure where to place them, but ended up layering some of them on journaling cards, and I really liked the look of that.

Here are the final layouts, thanks for looking!

Mountain Biking on the CamRock Trail Scrapbook Page

Last year we tried to bike more as a family, and one of the trails we rode was the CamRock Trail. This trail offers a traditional flat gravel trail, but also known for it's single track trails that branch off the main trail.

The single track is a challenging trail, and we had all biked on it once before several years ago. We all did better this time around that last time, and only had to stop and walk our bikes up or down the steep hills a couple of times.

For this layout, I used a couple of earthy fall papers, since it was late October when we biked this trail. The papers are from a Paper Studio paper stack called Murphy's Square, and the wooden gears, journaling card, arrow border and wooden-look frame were added to add some little details to the page.

I didn't take a lot of photos on this trail since we were busy biking it, but had enough to do one layout. Thanks for looking! Up next is the Badger State Trail and the Stewart Tunnel.
