Oh wow!! The 1980′s. I didn’t know where to begin! I am a child of the 90′s. Although I was born in the early 80′s, I remember very little!
So… I wracked my brain, what do you remember from the 80′s?
Here’s what I remember. Michael Jackson! The first song I remember was “Heal the World.” Of course his dancing, is absolutely amazing! I am a fan. Die hard fan. I wish I could have seen him in concert, at least once. I can imagine it would be an incredible show! This is one of my favorite videos on YouTube:
Okay, so if you didn’t get it, I picked MJ for my “80′s” theme.
I wanted to keep this very simple using only a few embellishments. The crown (Heidi Swapp) above the letter “A” is to signify the “king of pop”. I used some Prima Flowers, and sprayed them with Maya Misters. I used some American Crafts fabric Thickers, which I wasn’t very impressed with. (The fabric doesn’t stay “stuck” to the sticky part.) And of course, a few buttons!
When MJ died I bought several magazines, books, records even. So I spent a few hours going through the magazines and found this picture- from 1985.
Of course you can click on the picture to view it bigger. :)
Have a great week everyone, and thanks for reading!







I love your King of Pop tribute. MJ was a big part of my 80′s music too. I even had his poster in my room.
I really love this! What a great picture choice.
I love this layout Jessica. Great job! Your color selection is great and using Michael J. Good thinking!
Gorgeous – love the colours
I can’t remember much about the 80s either….. I did live through them, and yet….!!
