NEW! Memories To The Max Scrapbook Album Kit

Hello friends! It's time to share this week's totally rad NEW Memories To The Max Scrapbook Kit that will be in my shop on Friday. This boombox shaped mini album has a super retro 1980's vibe that's so fun and nostalgic! I grew up in Florida during the 80's, so I thought the shape would be perfect. If you're a millennial, Gen X, or just love this vintage style ... this one is for YOU! Keep reading for lots of ideas for this most triumphant keepsake, and ... some fun 1980's pic of me! 😄

I designed it with the Simple Stories, Totally 80's Collection that features bright and pastel colors mixed with bold black and white prints. It has geometric patterns, circles, triangles, zigzags, squiggly lines, lightening bolts, grids, and checkerboards. And we can't forget the iconic roller skates, Converse sneakers, Polaroid cameras, Swatch watches, and more. Yep ... feels like the 80's!

For the acrylic album, I created this new boombox shape that's approx. 5 x 8.5 inches. I used black 1/8" acrylic so it's super sturdy. On the cover, I added 2 black acrylic circles for the speakers, a cassette tape die cut, and enamel dots for the buttons and knobs. Perfect.

Inside, there are 14 pages that include 2 fold-outs, 4 pockets, 5 flippies, and space for 36 photos. Above is one of the fold-out pages. It has plenty of space for pictures of our BIG 80's hair. I remember that Aqua Net. It was the only hairspray that would hold through Florida's humidity ... and hurricanes. 😂

And speaking of big hair, let's discuss some fun ideas for this righteous scrapbook. Let's start with ... If you grew up in the 80's: 

• Your childhood - add photos of you, best friends, roller skating, sleepovers, your first car, hobbies, your bedroom, and birthdays.

• Retro Family Album - add pictures of the family, your pets, the 1980's home and its decor, holidays, and family vacations. 

• Class of 1980's - add high school memories of friends, clubs, sports, recitals, ex-boyfriends, pep rallies, homecoming, plays, prom, and graduation. 

• 80's Favorites - make this memory scrapbook of your favorite movies, TV shows, music, bands, toys, candy, fashion, hairstyles, and trends.

• Concert Memories - include concert pictures, band and artists' names, ticket stubs, set lists, wristbands, pictures of the band's t-shirts, favorite song, tour programs, pinback buttons, and backstage or VIP passes.

• Mixtape Memories - dedicate each page to a favorite song and the memory connected to it. 

• Then & Now - pair photos from the ’80s with current photos of the same people.

 

If you didn't grow up in the 80's but LOVE this wicked retro theme, here are some fun ideas:

• Totally Rad Birthday - perfect for an ’80s-themed birthday party, graduation party, or anniversary.

• Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - use this for photos of a girlfriend trip, girls’ night out, fun moments with your bestie, or a fabulous retreat weekend.

Because of the album's radio / boombox shape, think of musically inspired themes you could use this for, like: 

• Music Through the Years - add your favorite artists, albums, concerts, playlists, and musical memories from ANY decade. 

• Dance Party Scrapbook - use this mini for school dances, weddings, parties, karaoke nights, or dance recitals.  

• Vacation Mixtape - turn a fabulous trip into your own “greatest hits” collection and add photos of your favorite memories. 

• The Soundtrack of My Life - use each page for a different era, person, or milestone and the song that reminds you of it.

• Roller Rink Memories - skating parties, roller derby, or retro-themed events.

So many fun possibilities! I hope this unique shaped scrapbook makes you smile and becomes a forever keepsake for your memories. Ok, time for some photos!

Look at that hair! I love looking back on these old photos. So fun! Jack and I have been together since high school so he's in a lot of my pictures. In the bottom left corner ... he's wearing zubaz pants! Lol! Who remembers those? The photos are super grainy, but thought it would be fun to share!

Check out how cute this album is sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. What a great way to show off this fun mini album, and ... your awesome crafting skills!
