I have a shoebox.
Actually, I have several shoeboxes. And a special folder on my phone that is just for recording memories from concerts. My shoebox has ticket stubs from concerts dating back to 1999 (no joke, I saw Aerosmith with my mom!!) Back when the tickets were actually tickets! Of course I also have saved print outs from the print at home era, and now I just screen shot the digital code for printing on a photo printer later!
For years, I told myself I'd "do something" with all of it. Make a scrapbook. Create a display. Organize it somehow.
I never did.
But time is ticking on my ability to design and print my own creations and this is something I've wanted to design since day one!
The Concert Memory Keeper Is Live
If you're someone who hoards concert memorabilia but never looks at it because it's scattered across drawers and boxes, this one's for you.
The Concert Memory Keeper holds everything from one show in a 4-page spread: the full setlist (room for 40+ songs), venue details, your crew, photo spots sized for ticket stubs and printed pics, and space to capture that one moment you don't want to forget.
It tracks 8 shows, plus includes a master log to track every artist you've ever seen live and a wish list for the dream shows you're waiting for.
Here's the full walkthrough:
Why I Made This
I went to a Badflower show in Boston last year with my partner. Small venue, the kind where you feel every note in your chest. They played all my favorites including Ghost and the entire room sang every word.
I screenshot the ticket stub. We took some photos and videos. Washed the new band tee.
And then... everything kept moving further and further back in my camera roll, soon to be forgotten.
Not intentionally, but as I always say - If I don't write it down I will forget it! SO why not write every detail down? Ideally right after the show, but even now I have at least five other shows in my camera roll I'd love to put to paper!
What Makes It Different
This isn't a scrapbook project you'll never finish. It's a journal you can fill out the morning after a show (or a week later when you finally remember).
Each concert gets a full 4-page spread with:
- Space for the complete setlist - main set, encore, surprise songs, covers
- Venue, date, your seats, who you went with
- Photo grids sized for printing ticket stubs and your best shots
- Quick checkboxes for vibe, weather, production style
- A dedicated spot to capture "the moment" - that one song or thing that made the night
- Notes for the random stuff: funny moments, merch you bought, the opener you discovered
Plus a master tracking log in the back so you can see your full concert history at a glance. Who you've seen multiple times. Which venues you keep going back to. The bucket list tours you're still waiting for.
Who This Is For
Music lovers who go to 10+ shows a year. Festival goers. Parents documenting their kid's first concert. Anyone who refuses to throw away ticket stubs but has no idea what to do with them.
Theater and comedy people - this works for you too.
If you've ever looked at a ticket stub from years ago and wished you could remember more than just "it was a good show," this is built for that.
It's Available Now
The Concert Memory Keeper is live now in multiple sizes. I'm also offering it as part of the Music Lovers collection if you want to bundle it with other music-themed inserts.
Concert season starts soon. Festivals. Summer tours. All those shows you've been waiting for.
This time, you'll have somewhere to keep it all.
