the 80's

[twingle3]

I am going to begin scrapping my teenage years from the 80's and am looking for any type of info. I have found a website called 80's flashback. I am now looking for a website that has the fronts of album covers from the bands of the 80's....does anyone know of any? I will take any assistance I can get in finding info or pictures of the 80's. thanks.

Great scrapping idea! I don't have any suggestions but I can't wait to read what others may suggest.

I was in my 20s in the 80s and remember it well. Stick w/ big hair, big earrings, bangle braclets, leg warmers, shrits w/the colar turned up, wide belts that hung lose and layers of shirts. Rent "Flashdance" "Dance Fever" and whatever the name of the movie was that had Kevin Bacon in it where the community wouldn't let the kids have a prom or dance. Was an awesome movie! U2, INXS, Boy George, Cindy Laupner, Madonna, and the "dance bands" were really popular.
Creative Memories has (or did have) some pretty neat stickers from the 80s.
Check them out and see what you can find.
Good luck!!

Like, fer sure, the 80's were like totally awesome!


Oh I remember them well!! The music really varied from early 80's to late 80's. Which time frame were you looking at?

How about allmusic.com? It's like the Internet Movie Database, but for music.

There was a Memory Makers issue sometime last year with 80's and 70's layouts!

Try www.1001fonts.com and click on the music link. There are several there you could use. One that looks just like Iron Maiden, one kind of like Poison, and lots of 80's 'techno' styles. Have fun with your layouts!
