Seeds and dry flowers storage album tutorial | Graphic 45 Cottage Life

 

Hello G45ers! I’m Cecilia from México and I’m so happy to be back as #G45BrandAmbassador. For my first post I made a little scrapbook that works as seeds and dry flowers storage as well and because this should be a selfie project I also made a cute little cart to place this project as a decor piece. I really love 3D projects combined with scrapbooks and I think that’s what represents my creativity. The paper collection in this case is Cottage Life but you can use the gorgeous Flower Market or Little Things as well, below you’ll find the products used here. The project is not very difficult but is divided in two videos one for the album and the second for the cart with so much tips and tricks, however in my youtube channel you’ll find complementary videos to show you how I made my fabric flowers with Graphic 45 dies and another video to learn how I made the tiny gardening tools, find at the end of this post the links. I hope that you like it and feel inspired to create! I can’t wait to see your project! Cecilia.
