Instructions: To create the album, measure 8" x 6 1/4" panels for each of the pages, and 8 3/4" x 6 1/2" panels for the inside covers. Use the printed sentiment strips for the inside spines between each page. Use a variety of flip and fold inserts for each of the pages. For the cover, cut two purple panels measuring around 8 3/4" x 6". Adhere, aligned towards to the opening of the album. Cut a light purple strip around 8 3/4" x 7". Adhere around the spine of the album, overlapping the purple paper. Adhere a book plate to the spine with liquid adhesive after lining with patterned paper and a small sentiment. To create the belly band for the album, cut a strip of chipboard (from the back of the paper pad 1 1/2 " wide. Adhere two strips together lengthwise so that the strip will comfortably fit around the album (remembering that your finished album may be quite bulky). Cover the top of the strip with light purple patterned paper, then mount onto dark green paper and trim to create a very narrow border. Die cut a series of border sections (depending on the length of your band). Adhere onto white cardstock and cut again with just the border part of the die. Adhere these side by side along the back of the chipboard strip, both along the top and bottom. Determine where the folds will be in the band once assembled and score and crease. Allowing for that movement, cover the back of the strip in beige patterned paper, encasing the die cut border. Adhere a magnet and washer to the ends of the strip where it will meet in the front. Cut the decorative title block from patterned paper and adhere to the right end of the strip using foam tape, covering the magnet. Adhere the completed strip to the album by the back and the spine only. Close the strip using the magnets. Apply Glossy Accents to the grapes in the image. Stamp and die cut a series of vine leaves, and Botanical Rose petals. Shape each piece and arrange the petals into flowers, varying the number of layers in each to create different sized flowers. Coat the centre of each flower in liquid adhesive and dip into Gala Glitz. Arrange the leaves in a cascading format from the top right of the album to the bottom left of the spine. Adhere the flowers along the leaves. Apply some paint dots along the sentiment block and among the flowers.
