Portrait of a Lady: Box & Album Tutorial & Special Tati Scrap Feature
Hello, G45ers!
Good day to you and welcome to a day we are going to spend featuring a couple picture perfect Graphic 45 Portrait of a Lady projects. Lena Astafeva leads things off with a beautiful box, complete with a matching mini album. We love how the ornate border works as a frame for the portrait in the center of the cover. Check out her YouTube video for a better look and the SnapGuide tutorial for full details on how to create your own. Tati Scrap is up next with a gorgeous mini-album that squeezes in a ton of fun details into a tiny package. She includes a variety of metal pieces in to add depth and weight and all the fold out pages are perfect for filling with mementos. Take a look below to see the perfect inspiration to bring this collection to life.
