I DID IT!!!

by

I did it!!!! I put together my very first [tag]digital scrapbooking[/tag] page.
I am not sure what happened tonight, but it just seemed to all come together.

I could understand what needed to happen in [tag]PhotoShop Elements[/tag]. I understood about the layering and most of the options for change pictures. It was as if I had a digital [tag]scrapbooking[/tag] epiphany.

 

I have to say I am very excited. After days of stumbling, I got it. I accomplished something.

I have put it below to show you. I must say it is very simple. Nothing all that complicated as of yet, but it was definitely a milestone for me.

I want to thank everyone for all of the great site info and encouragement. Please keep bringing it. I love to hear what you have to say.

I hope you enjoy my first success.

By the way, the kids in the picture are my younger siblings, my children, and some Japanese students visiting the States, except one who lives with my family. I bet you cannot guess which ones are my kids.

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.
