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.

I had my Brownie when I was a child and always wanted to get into taking pictures again. My son just bought me a point & shoot but, I want to be able to play around with the camera & prints in my own way. Maybe even make art out of them. I hear that point & shoots are jpeg and you can’t manipulate them much and the way to go is with a superior cameras with Adode Illustrator. I am really interested in finding out more between cameras capabilities, how to manipulate them and how to manipulate my pictures, so I can start the fun, again.
I would love to learn more on how to get those up posed shots
