PERSEVERE Mini Album
by Educator Steff Miller
"Hi everyone! Here's a really fun and easy to make project share featuring Leeza Gibbons new Wishes and Dreams Collection.
First, I have to say, I love-love the colors and bold prints of this collection. All the projects I've created using these beautiful papers just turn out so beautiful.
But, I love how easy and fun it was to create this adorable little mini album! What made this mini so easy was using the ATC cards and pockets to create the inside pages along with using Fiskar's great border punches! Adding beautiful borders to the edge of the mini album pages really enhances the project!
This mini album is now ready to be filled with Wishes and Dreams.. what a lovely keepsake! I love it!" ~Steff

Fun Pocket Album
by Educator Cari Fennell
Cari created a fun little album using the Leeza Gibbons Pocket Book Pad by Prima. Border strips are the perfect addition to any project and here, Cari used them to frame in the title for her sweet album! Using punched shapes within your cluster of flowers adds interest and a touch of whimsy!
For the inside pages, Cari used the tag punch to create little tabs throughout the book. They are great for all of the flaps and folds on the pocket pages.
Pair up the punched elements with your Prima embellishments and you have a winning combination!
