LYNNES LITTLE THINGS ALBUM - PART TWO

LYNNES LITTLE THINGS ALBUM - PART TWO

Part 1 of this tutorial can be found here. Without further ado, back to Lynne for the rest of the instructions!

***When using patterned papers I take my measurements from the bottom left hand corner for each page main parts.***

INSIDE ALBUM
3 @ 12x12 patterned paper in total ( plus plain card stock for tags) Left front cover - I used dimensional pocket & Mexican belly band.
Cut out 1 of the dimensional pockets + backing piece 3 inches x 4 inches , 1 @ 3/16 x 4 inches to reinforce gusset at bottom of pocket.
Pic 1 shows what is needed. I found it easier to cut card to 8 inches across, then cut out
belly band, taking of 1 1/8 inches off each end once die cut. I then scored at 1/2, 3/4 inch
to form 1/4 inch gusset each side. 
Pic 2 - shows left front installed. 


Left spine - I cover my spine & stacking spine but this is a personal choice, it isn't
necessary, I just do it so the patterned paper flows better. 
If required - pp 1 @ 8 1/4 inches x 2 3/8 inches (onto actual grey board spine)
                     1 @ 8 1/4 inches x 1 7/16 inches
                     1 @ 8 1/4 inches x 7/16 inch 
I use pro tape and bookbinding glue to stick the stacking spine into place, as the spine
needs to be securely fixed to hold the pages. 
Pic 3 - shows the stacking spine in place (1/2 inch between each part and edge of
greyboard either side) 


Back & right spine - patterned paper 8 3/4 inches x 8 3/4 inches for back. Belly band card
8 3/4 inches x 2 1/4 inches . 
Right spine patterned paper 8 3/4 inches x 2 1/4 inches 
Pic 4 shows back cover and right spine installed.


Right front cover - 2 dimensional pockets , top flaps 2 @ 4 1/8 inches x 4 13/16 inches score at 1 1/2 inches, 1 3/4 inches ( gives  1/4 inch gusset) , 4 @ 3/16 inch x 4 inches (reinforcement for gussets) . 2 page tabs , put magnet inside tab (see pic) . 
Pic 5 - shows parts required.


I used album text stamp set for front of page tabs . 
I placed pockets 5/8 inch in from edge of right front cover. 
Pic 6 - shows right front cover installed. Added to inside of pockets small ephemera cards.


Pic 7 - shows finishing touches to left front - 3 tags @ 8 1/4 inches x 4 inches, 3 tags @ 7
1/4 inches x 4 inches.


Back cover - 2 large ephemera cards.
