John and Saria Butler acquired Outdoors and More Scrapbook Décor in August 2007, and it is the perfect fit. John is a big kid who loves to play and interact with anything he can get his hands on, Saria loves to take pictures every chance she gets, and both of them love anything outdoors during any season of the year.After taking over the company, John could instantly see some problems, and the entire company has worked diligently to correct them. Outdoors and More strives for great customer service, a fast order processing time within a week, 100% accurate order fulfillment, and the company is now focusing on fun, outdoors themed products that sell themselves.
“The outdoors is a very broad topic. It does not include just camping, hunting and fishing, but includes skiing, animals, picnics, plants, astronomy and anything else done outside,” said John. “We are very excited to refocus this company onto what it was originally intended, scrapbooking the fun we all enjoy outside.”
Outdoors and More’s new slogan is so applicable to John and Saria, “Live Life. Relive Memories.” They encourage everybody to live life to the fullest, and then relive those memories, but not through normal scrapbook pages, but through pages that move and twist and turn and flip like you and your family do everyday.
Take all of this, mix it together, and you have instant inspiration for interactive scrapbook pages. John developed the idea after noticing how static scrapbook layouts were after they were finished. Pictures just lay on the page, never coming to life. Sure they were fun to make, and sure they were fun to look at once or twice, but John wanted to make something that was fun to look at time after time for children and adults alike. “I’ve seen grown men go crazy over our interactive scrapbook designs, many asking where they could get them so THEY could scrapbook,” said John. “Men and kids go crazy for these. They are fun, remind them of their lives, and best of all, they are hands on and move around.”
Patent pending Moving Memories are a fun way to add interaction to your memories, as entire scrapbook pages turn to reveal new pictures. It’s easy to relive life through interactive memories that keep children and adults coming back time after time.
Patent pending Foto Flaps are another quick and easy way to add interaction by adding multiple pictures to any scrapbook page, journal, or photo album. They create an instant “hidden door” that can open and close revealing more pictures, and can instantly create fun for the entire family as they relive those precious memories.“These ideas came about as a hybrid for people who love the creative expression of scrapbooking and the ease of photo albums to hold multiple pictures” said John. “We are heading in a new direction of interactive scrapbooking. This is unlike anything any other company has ever done before, but it has turned out really fun for everyone.”
