Scrap Booking

Themes, layouts and inspirations

Review: Scrapbook PageMaps 2

by

Scrapbook Pagemaps 2 by Becky Fleck is a great book to add to your pile of crafting books for inspirational layouts.

This book has simple layouts that are elegant, creative and versatile. Layouts come with 64 sketch cards that you can pop into your scrapbooking tote as a reference guide when you are at a scrapping crop or just out and about.

The layouts are divided into the following categories: Tried and True, Heartfelt Greetings, Scribble outside the lines, Beyond the Page and Pushing Pixels. Our favorite was Heartfelt Greetings with some truly memorable ideas.

  2. I met Becky at GASC in Arlington, TX.. she rocks. I would have to say my favorite category would have to be Beyond the Page.

  3. I would really love to have this book, I haven’t seen it yet. I have the first one and love it so really want this one too.

    thanks

  7. i would say that I would like the Heartfelt greeting portion of the page maps 2 the most. I hope this is where I should comment, becuase when I click on giveaway, this is what I get! Would love to win the book!

  10. I would really love to win the book…
    I love Becky´s sketches! Most of my layouts are made with them 🙂 I love the sketch cards it´s so easy to work with…

  11. Wow, I don’t have the first book, but I would love to try out the 2nd one, sounds like nice and easy layouts to try!!

  15. Hmmm… tough call! Each of the layout
    catagories is appealing. Scribble outside the lines… that holds my attention. Maybe a bit of thinking outside the box?

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.
