80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

August 2, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.

How to Make an Interactive Halloween Mini Scrapbook Album

Camino used the new Booville collection from Pinkfresh Studio to create a Spook-tacular Interactive Mini Scrapbook Album project. The cover of her album is acetate decorated with a chalkboard inspired label and lots of pretty flowers along with some tiny enamel gems. The white base of the album measures 6″ x 5″ with fussy cut spider webs on the corners, some pumpkins and stitched hanging spiders on the spine and back. It also ties closed with black tulle.

She continues using this wonderful collection created by Paige Taylor Evans using pattern papers, puffy and cardstock stickers, rub-ons and chipboard and enamel shapes, all in soft pastel colors, to decorate the pages. Some of which have delightful interactive elements like shakers behind layers of tulle, flaps and pockets and even a stand up easel.
