What Should I Buy?!

February 9, 2007 by Heather Holbrook

Have you ever been in your craft store, looking at all the options, and not known what to buy?
Have you ever wished you had your own designer there to help you pick out colors, papers,[tag] embellishments[/tag], and what not?
I know I have!

In fact, just today, I was standing in the[tag] scrapbooking[/tag] section of my local discount store thinking, “I cannot believe all the choses. What will fit best with the pictures I have?”

So tonight, I bring you a list of sites that offer free scrapbooking[tag] layouts[/tag].
You can follow them exactly and get beautiful pages.
You can use them and tweak them a little by adding your own finishing touches.
Or you can just look at the pages and let them inspire your creative side.
We all have them.
Some of us (definitely me), just need to let them out more often.

These actually give some instruction and supply needs or just supply needs:
Kodak Simply Scrapbooking
Scrapbook Barn
mycraftbook
Scrapbook.com

These provide you with many layouts to look at, but no instruction:
Creative Scrapbooking
Scrapjazz
Creating Keepsakes
Scrapbooking with Love

I have done all the work. Take sometime and check these out.

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.
