Simple Scrapbooks

by

I found this site by ‘googling’. It is great, so I wanted to bring it to your attention. It is called [tag]Simple Scrapbooks[/tag]. It has a host of creative women that contribute to it, but I wanted to highlight just one at the moment.

Her name is Angie Lucas and she does theSimpleblog for the site. At her blog site, she has a fantastic idea that I wanted to bring to your attention. It is a blank calendar that she has written one tidbit of life for each day on. Then for each month she puts together a layout of memorable photos for that month. Here is one of her months.

And here is her friend, Jenny’s. Jenny chose to focus hers on her daughter.

Click on the links to find out more on this project. I just thought both of them were so cute and a great idea. I wish I had the clearheadedness to pull that off. I would love to be able to do three calendars, one for each of my girls. They would be such special memories and isn’t that what [tag]scrapbooking[/tag] is all about. Making special memories last and be that much more special.

Well, I need to go. I am tired. I hope you check this out. The magazine is great and so is the project.

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.
