I just found out about http://i-am-cc.org/ They propose releasing your Instagram images as CC. What I don't understand is what effect, if any, will that have on Instagram using your images for creating ads or for other uses. How would a CC license affect in this situation?

Not at all. When you upload your photos to Instagram, you grant them a non-exclusive license to use them in accordance with their TOS. Licensing them under CC is just issuing another non-exclusive license to another party.
