School Life Mini Album Base
Using a scoring board and crease tool, score across a 30cm x 30cm sheet of double-sided paper at 15cm. Turn the paper over, and scoring in the same direction, score at 5cm and 25cm. Next, turn the paper 90 degrees, and score at 7.5cm, 15cm, and 23cm. Finally, turn the paper so the scores at 5cm,15cm, and 25cm are vertical.
Starting at the centre of the lower edge, cut on the 15cm line up to the 7.5cm score line at the top of the paper NOTE: This is the only cut in the whole album.
With the side of the paper you want for the cover and pockets) face down, fold and crease along the 5cm scoreline; next fold and crease along the 25cm scoreline; these are the pockets and should be on the inside.
Fold the paper in half on the uncut part at the top of the cut line, with the main side out.
Using the E-Z Grand Permanent Strips Dispenser, tape the four open pocket sides shut.
Start from the bottom right side and Accordion fold and when you get to the end, turn the paper over and repeat the folding process.
Optional: using the Extreme Double-Sided tape 1/4in on one side of the Album middle to hold the secure the two sides together.
Use a small hole punch and create two holes through all the album pages, 2.5cm from both the top and lower edges of the album. Add Binder rings.
The basic album is complete.
Embellish the Tags
Cut the tags from the patterned sheet of patterned paper. Adhere to a tag using E-ZDots Permanent Refill Dispenser 15m. Add a strip of Washi Tape below the paper tag. Place a tag in each pocket on the album.

Decorate the Album covers, pockets and tags using the Chipboard Stickers, paper embellishments and Washi Tape.
