Amazing Ideas with An ABC Primer!
An ABC Primer is the perfect collection for so many projects. School year ideas, sweet childhood memories, heritage projects, and more. Tati Scrap and Maggi Harding share 2 great ideas and tutorials with us today that you are sure to love!
First, Tati Scrap shares her love for our Book Box Staples and An ABC Primer!
"My Favorite Graphic 45 Staples are their boxes...love them!!!
I have chosen for this project the Book Box to make a School mini Homework Station with ABC Primer collection.
Nothing is more chic than have a School Station for kids with this box and papers!!
If you want to make a "Mini office" for your student...you can do it with my tutorial..
Enjoy it!!" ~Tati Scrap

Next, here is a great layout idea and tutorial from Maggi. Take it away:
"Many of our G45ers mentioned that they would like to see layouts featuring more than one photo so today, my layout features 2 photos, one of which is about 2 x 5.5" and the other is 3 x 4 .75". TIP: I find that a multipic layout is much easier to do if you print your pictures in a smaller size and, of course, the more photos on a page, the smaller they need to be. For me, the challenge in a multipic layout is how to have enough space not covered by photos to make a pleasing arrangement of papers and embellishments.
TIPs: You will find it easier to design layouts with Graphic 45 papers if you select a mix of papers comprised of some papers with the bold patterns that G45 is so well known for and some with the small patterns, typically, the "B" side of the paper. Often it works best to alternate the bold and small patterns. Another trick is to break up the design papers with solid cardstock.
I have a Snapguide tutorial for you if you'd like to create a layout similar to this one. Enjoy!" ~Maggi

ABC Primer is perfect for both the homework station and a layout for school photos. I really like the colors of this line, too.
