Retro Cassette Shaped Mini Album with Bella Blvd

Hey crafty girls! It's time for another fun Bella Blvd Design Team Project and this week, I created a mini album in the shape of a cute retro cassette tape. It's titled 4Ever and would be great for photos of loved ones, a special relationship, or Valentine's Day. If you grew up in the 80's (like me!) ... you're going to love this one. 

4Ever Valentine's Day Scrapbook Mini Album shaped like a cassette tape

I designed it with the Bella Blvd, Our Love Song Collection that features vintage guitars, record players, albums, flowers, hearts, musical notes, roller skates, boom boxes, and those fun 1980's geometric patterns. This is so nostalgic!

For the album's shape, I found the perfect Bella Blvd cutting file. It's a cassette tape from a set called Our Love Song Collection 3. I cut the album covers out of black acrylic but you could use card stock instead.

On the cover, I used the pink pattern called Skip a Beat, then added a mix of Bella Besties prints, black and white card stock, and fun embellishments. The 4EVER is a die cut from the ephemera words and the musical notes and heart are from the Let's Rock Bella-pops, which you will also see ...

The album has 12 black cardstock pages that I layered with 12x12 pattern papers. Above, I used the Our Mix print in the backgroud and the Totally Rad paper for the photo mat. I added the tag and flower from the ephemera words and the "luv u" sticker from the doohickey sheet. The peace symbol is a puffy sticker.

If you enjoy vibrant colors and fun patterns ... this collection is for you. Here, I mixed playful stripes with musical instruments and added the shiny rainbow Bella-pops (appropriately called Beautiful) at the top. I love how whimsical it all looks together!✨

On this page, I added a 4" circle that can be used for photos or journaling. The heart and the "hello love" are die cuts from the ephemera icons and words, and the lightening bolts are from the puffy stickers.

Make this mini for yourself, or give it to someone as a Valentine's day gift. It would be so sweet filled with photos of your spouse, the littles or grandlittles, family, your parents, or best friends!

I hope my 4Ever Scrapbook gives you a little inspiration. The Our Love Song Collection is bright, colorful, and super nostalgic. If you have fun memories from the 80's and 90's, or ... just love the retro feel of this mini, I hope you'll give it a try!
