TUTORIAL 

 Step 1- Take a piece of chipboard and cut it up into the following measurements :
11cms X 5 cm, 11cm X 6.5 cm, 11cm X 8 cm, 11 cm X 3.6 cm, and last 11 cm X 3 cm.

(These measurements are given in centimetre only, but if you want it in inches, then you can Google convert it.)

Step 2- Take a piece of pattern paper. I have used the Dawn and Dusk collection and cut it into 30 cm X 14 cm. This will form the cover of your album.
Now, please your chipboards on this pattern paper as shown below, keeping a 0.5 cm gap between each chipboard.

 Step 3- Now, take another piece of coordinating pattern paper measuring approximately 28cm X 12cm and stick it in the inside as shown below. Score in between the chipboard pieces to create creases on the pattern paper so that it folds easily.
After you have glued both the pattern papers to your chipboard pieces, fold it up. it should look like the picture below. 

Step 4- Add strips of Magnetic tape measuring approximately 3cm X 9 cm on the two flaps of the album so that it can be closed.

Step 5- Now to create the inside pages, take pattern papers measuring 16.5 cm X 10 cm. Score it n half and keep a 0.5 cm gap in the centre of your score. Your score lines should be 8cm/0.5cm/8 cm.
Stick these pages in the opposite direction creating a zig zag fold like you do in an accordian fold.  You will approximately need 6 of these papers.
Now, the base of your album is all ready. you can go ahead and embellish it in any style you want. i really had a lot of fun using only Papericious products to create the insides of this album. :)
