Themes, layouts and inspirations
As fun as it it is shopping for scrapbooking supplies, it can also get expensive very quickly. It can also be inconvenient to stop working on a page to go and purchase more supplies, if needed. Printables4Scrapbooking offers a creative solution to this problem – additions to your scrapbooking pages that you can print from home. The site has some great printables for the summer – including a set for a beach day themed page.

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.

ohohohoh! I love this! Thank you for posting this! Your timing couldn’t be better since I’m soon to start a project that will involve lots of beach pages!
Thanks so much for the mention! I get very few comments on my site right now, so any suggestions ANYONE has would be really appreciated. I created these beach items specifically because someone requested them, so I’m really interested in knowing what people would find useful!
