Wild & Free Mini Album

By Scrapbooking Cecilia

“Hello G45ers!! Cecilia here sharing my last tutorial for our loved Graphic 45. This time I made an album, in a different shape using the U binding, something really easy and quick to make for the next Mother’s Day or even Father’s Day, just change the paper collection and you’ll make it with the pictures, I think this will be a really nice present! I used the fabulous Wild & Free paper collection, you’ll need a few papers and save the rest for more amazing projects, all the material’s list is below.

I also want to say THANK YOU to Graphic 45 family for the 2 years I had the opportunity designing for my favorite brand, I’ll treasure those memories always, that’s why I made my last page with the word THANKS, but if you made the album, just play with your pictures, beautiful papers and embellishments!

TRICK – Because I forgot to measure the window space on my inside paper with the gorgeous monkeys, first I secured the paper in place with some clips, then I put a lamp on the back and easily saw where to mark and then cut out that piece of paper!
