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!

The London Eye

by Educator Sharon Laakkonen

The scallop banner punch is absolutely adorable and fun to use as a banner, of course. But just think of the OTHER possibilities of using it!

Sharon used the scallop banner punch to recreate the London Eye ferris wheel on her page. Now how cute is that? (You could also use it for gymnastics or fair themes!)

Use edge punches to layer strips for lots of dimensional goodness elsewhere on the page! Pop some up with foam adhesive. Top with a wood strip lightly colored with Prima's chalk edgers!
