Step Two:

Attach four 5-1/2” x 5-1/2” panels  to the front and back of both your front panels.  Make  sure you center these.  Do not cross any of your score lines. On each side glue the two panels together.

Step Three:

Three pieces 5-3/4” x 12” - Score all three pieces at 3” and 9”

Crease all score lines.  Attach all three pieces together end to end.

Step Four:

Using the piece you just adhered together fold the two middle flaps toward the middle section. Fold your right flap flat,  fold the right side on top of the middle.  Fold the left flap down, fold the left flap on top of everything. They are stacked and you should only see the last one folded on the top. Decorate your panels with cardstock, decorator paper whatever you wish.

Step 5:

You will now adhere your three folded sections to the middle of your back.  Please make sure you have the middle section of the three and not a side section.

The ribbon will wrap around the scrapbook and is tied on the side. Glue the ribbon to the front panel. With your leftover piece of cardstock, cut a piece 5” x 5”.  This is for your front cover. It covers where you have glued the ribbon.  Now decorate your album with what ever theme you want.  I use lots of different designer series paper in mine.  You can now stamp and put tags and ribbons or what ever else you wish to use in yours. 

 

Starting in the middle, fold both smaller flaps to the center.  Fold the flap on your far right towards the middle.  This whole side then folds to the middle.  Do the same on the left side.  Again take your right side and fold to the middle and your left side to the middle. The book is now closed.

I always make each tutorial and I loved making this book! We went to Italy in April 2006 and I am just getting around to scrapping my photos. The balcony is where Juliet stood. It is located in Verona. I know this is the first of many more “Flip Albums”.
