Do I take the plunge?

by

I am thinking about it, but it is kind of scary. Actually, it looks like it might be very complicated and too much trouble working out the techno kinks.

I have decided though. I am going to do it!

I am going to try digital scrapbooking. Right now, I just cannot seem to put 30 minutes together to do it the old fashioned way.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not giving up on the “tried and true” method. I am just broadening my horizons.

As a mom, this is something that I have developed within my character – flexibility.
If you cannot do it one way, there definitely has to be another.

So, I am taking the plunge. If any of you out there have a great site or great advice for a beginner, please let me know.

I will be using [tag]Adobe PhotoShop Elements 3.0[/tag]. I have begun to browse through it and I am not sure if I am up for the challenge. But that is what good challenges are for, right, they are to be conquered.

I did find one site tonight that had some really cute [tag]freebies[/tag] and tutorials on it. They looked helpful. I hope they are. I have it listed below with a couple of pics of the freebies. Check it out and let me know if it is good or is there a better one.

Again, I cry out for help in the [tag]digital scrapbooking[/tag] world. HELP!!!

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

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.
