Genius Ideas with Graphic 45 Staples!
We have some incredible ideas with our Staples today! Joanne Bain has an amazing album and Lori Williams wows with an altered Matchbook Box! Enjoy these great ideas!
First, we have this great tag album by Joanne! We love how she used our new Square Tags. This is such a genius idea, and best part? She has a tutorial below so you can try it too!
"When I saw the new range of square tags I couldn't wait to create something with them. The idea for this little album project come to me while I was doing some filing and thought maybe I could create an expanding mini album using the square tags. So I set out to do so and love how it finished up." ~Joanne
