Tips from the show

• You can make five complete albums from one pack, or use the overstock pieces to create extra embellishments like notepads and bookmarks.
• The album does not need to be made in portrait orientation; you can create landscape versions with pockets positioned across the bottom or sides.
• Use the pre-cut pieces as templates by drawing around them if you want to extend your craft using your own patterned papers and scissors.
