Ginger Ropp's Easy Instagram Waterfall Mini Album

I found Ginger Ropp's awesome tutorial video over at Graphic 45 the other day and just loved it! It is so easy to follow. Her directions are explained very well. I hope you have as much fun as I did creating these darling mini albums from her video. They are great for Instagram photos. She explains that in her video. Enclosed at the bottom of this post is an insert to put inside the album and give as gifts that you may copy and print if you'd like. Simply open the image and right click on it. Click on "save image as" and there you can save it to your computer to print off later. Here is the link to Ginger's video.

Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet Candle Pillars

Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet

Covering candles is fun using the Graphic 45 papers. These two candle pillars were given to me painted gold. I added the painted pearl red trim and glittery poinsettias.

I cut out the Nutcracker design and while holding the paper to the candle, I pinned using two tiny straight pins with one red bead in each through the paper into the candle at the two corners. Then I Mod Podged the paper to the candle and fastened the other two corners with the tiny straight pins and beads. I finished by pinning and hot gluing the poinsettias to the candle and pillar.

Mail and Key Holder with Graphic 45 Papers

Mail and Key Holder with Graphic 45 Papers

First off, I would just like to say how much I love the Graphic 45 papers for scrap booking and their uses for just about any idea you can come up with. They all are beautiful! For some really wonderful ideas using the Graphic 45 papers, check out the amazingly talented crafters over on Pinterest.

I got this cute mail and key holder at Mangelsens in Omaha awhile back with the idea of using the Graphic 45 "Secret Garden" papers. When my mother-in-law went into a care facility this past month, I thought she would like this to keep her mail, important papers and whatever else she would like to put into the holder. I sure had fun making this and want to thank those whom I follow on Pinterest for their awesome ideas on these types of items and the tiny albums. You all are just so talented!! Thank you!

The following photos are close-ups of each item I covered and made. Have fun making your own Graphic 45 treasure!

Graphic 45 is great in that they offer these really nice extras with their papers. From tags to embellishments that match the papers beautifully. The sky's the limit to your imagination.

Tiny album using one of the Secret Garden papers. I cut each of these out and made them into a ring album. I added photos of her grandchildren and great grandchildren in each page.

All of the Graphic 45 theme papers have pages of little extras. A couple of the Secret Garden pages I used had cut outs to make this album. This was a lot of fun to make. You can get some really good ideas through videos others have shared on Pinterest on how to make the tiny albums.

Those of you familiar with Graphic 45 will notice I used a scrap piece from the "Place in Time" Graphic 45 papers for the corner pouch to hold my niece's photo. If you like, you can mix and match themes with the Graphic 45 papers too!
