Graphic 45 Kaleidoscope Mini Album Tutorial | How to create a mix-media scrapbook cover

Hello G45rs! Today I bring you a Graphic 45 Kaleidoscope Mini Album Tutorial.  This tutorial focuses on how to make a mix-media cover with your Graphic 45 goodies.

I’ve been wanting to make a monochromatic mini album; and the new Kaleidoscope Paper Collection is perfect!

With the help of the Graphic 45 Baby 2 Bride 12×12 Collector’s Edition, I was able to add a slight contrast to my monochromatic mini album palette.  You’ll also notice a bit of the Love Notes 12×12 patterns & solids in the mix.
