File all the openings with a small file and ink all your edges.

Page 3 and 5 trace the openings on the following pages.  You will trace the cover page to page 3.

Building a shaker box for your front cover.  Paint Beer Board piece with  Brown acrylic paint and rub with copper wax.  You will do this for all your beer board pieces.

 

Turn piece over and adhere acetate to back of frame and then add foam tape to the back around the frame.

Choose a piece of Patterned paper and  add sequins to the center of where you want your Beer board frame to go.

Remove backing off of foam tape and adhere to patterned paper.  Adhere your shaker box to the front of your album. 

Flip pages for pages  7 & 8

Cut 6 pieces of card stock 5-12" x 6-1/2"  

Score 4 pieces on the 5-1/2" side at 1/2" mark

Score 2 pieces on the 6-1/2" side at 1/2"

Add score tape to the 1/2" score as shown

Remove backing from score tape and beginning with the side flip page that is score on the 6-1/2' side,  adhere this to your album on page 8.

Adhere remaining 2 pages to the top and bottom of the page.    Cover your mats with  Patterned paper Repeat this for page 7.  

Add a mat to main page of the album.  These 2 pages will hold 8 photos each.

I used ribbon to tie my pages closed...this is optional.

Pages 3 and  5 I made belly bands and inserted tags and photo mats into them.

Add your embellishments as you choose or you can simply follow my photos.  for most of the pages I fuzzy cut some of the images from the patterned paper or added flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this album and tutorial!
