Hosana’s Scrapbook

June 14, 2007 by Heather Holbrook

Today, I want to share with you the scrapbook I recreated for our exchange student. She left this morning to return to Japan and I wanted her to have something fun to remember us by. I thought of getting her an Idaho State something or other, but I thought this would be better and much more personal.

This is us plus two friends of our girls. Hosana is in the middle, if you did not guess.

This is the cover to her scrapbook. I just printed up what I want it to say on a piece of white card stock. Then glued it on.
I love my printer. It is so easy and efficient to use the printer along with your scrapbooking.

This was our first holiday with Hosana, Thanksgiving. I love contrast. I like to put colors together that compliment each other, but I also like colors give and take from each other.

This is Christmas with Hosana. Now what I did differently with this is I was able to stick a picture in between two sheets. What I had to do for the whole book was glue my pages to plastic cover sheets. Because I want to have dimensional embellishments, I took two pages and glued them to both sides of the cover sheets. This is what allowed me to put a picture in between the two pages. It was a great way to get an extra picture in my layout.

Well, I am going to leave you with these right now. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will give you information I have.

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.
