Tips from the show

• You don't have to use all the pieces included in the kit; there are extra embellishments provided so you can make five complete albums with pieces left over for card making.
• The matte paper quality means you can add watercolours, distress inks, texture paste, or sparkle paste to personalise your album further.
• There is no right or wrong way to build these albums; arrange your pockets and pages wherever you want and be creative with your own unique design.
