Leah Killian
Tell us about yourself:
I am the mother of two crazy-beautiful children, Jonas & Maggie and married to my US Air Force husband, Chris. I have been into paper arts for over 15 years and have designed for a number of companies, currently Quickutz and The Scrapbook Nook. I am originally a North Dakota girl, but now I live where ever the Air Force sends us; today that is Travis AFB, CA. I love Mexican food, bubble baths, old movies and reading. I also enjoy keeping my blog: http://lifeaslou.blogsome.com/ .
Tell us about your project:
I created this book for an upcoming visit to the San Francisco Japanese Tea Gardens. I used Prima's Tea & Silk papers, flowers and also their Viola trim.
Tips for Build a Book users:
If you are feeling nervous about creating layers, I recommend starting at the back of the album and working forward, that way you can see how it is going. Sometimes it is intimidating to work with a layered project like a clear album, as it is hard to have a complete vision of what you're trying to create. Working from the back allows you to see things a little more clearly.
My other reccomendation is to wet the paper covers on the pages to remove them- they pop off a lot easier than trying to peel them off with your fingers.
What do you love about the Build a Book line of clear albums?
I love the versatility! They come in so many sizes and shapes and you can really mix and match or follow one simple album design. I can make a lot of mini books using this product line and they won't come out looking the same.

What Fire and Ice thought of this Project:
Of course the first thing that caught our eyes was wonderful use of Prima Products, the year down the tabs was a great touch. The cover is Gorgeous too, Michelle especially loved the intricate cuts of the tea and silk paper. Great Job Leah, and please keep us posted on any other BAB we can feature here on the Fire and Ice Blog...
