Themes, layouts and inspirations
If you have lots of birthday or other cards piling up that you’d like to keep, here’s a neat idea for dealing with them. Allison from Little Lovelies bound the cards her son received for his first birthday into this cute book, using her binding machine. Click here to go to the tutorial.
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.

Fabulous idea!
The card looks really good. Everyone doesn’t want extra clutter from those cards and this creation shows that you can organize those cards and at the same time be creative. 🙂 This would also look good in scrapbooking. 🙂
This is awesome and really creative!
where do you buy the cinch and about how much was it.
AWESOME! What a great idea!
