Start with cutting your pieces of Greyboard to
6x3  6x2 ½  6x6  6x 2 ½   6x3
 next stick 2 landscape pieces of A4 Card stock together
and use Red Liner tape to place in this order in the photo above
When placing these you need to leave a gap of two thickness of grey board
so cut two small pieces and tape together for a guide this is so you can close the ablum with ease

Trim the corners off your card stock but do not go to close
Add Red Liner Tape to all sides of the greyboard and Cardstock


Fold over the Long edged first and stick then tuck at the end so all four corners
are neat and tidy and the fold over and Stick the sides down


This is what you should have now


Next we make the Base for the spines to sit on Cut 2 pieces of card 5 ¾ x4
add tape like in the pic these will cover both the 6 x 2 ½ panels


For the spines Take 3 pieces of card 5 ¾ x 3 5 ¾ x2 and 5 ¾ x1
score on each side ½ in


Glue these onto each panel


Next cut 10 pieces of card for the pages 5 ¾ x 5 ½


Now you decorate all your pages
