I share lots and lots of free printables here, because I love printables and I know many of you do too. While printables can be time and money saving – they are instant downloads, and you can use them over and over again – knowing the best way to print them out will save you even more time and money. Michelle at Elegance & Enchantment, whose printables I share regularly, has compiled her best tips into the Ultimate Printing guide. She covers the best kind of printers to use, the most suitable paper to print on, and walks you through the best printer setting to use to make sure you’re not wasting paper or ink. She even shares tips for printing at print shops.

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.
