Country Craft Creations, Sweater Weather Accordion Album Tutorial

Welcome back!! I have a great tutorial for you that you will love. I'm combining Echo Park's "Sweater Weather" paper collection with Uniquely Creative's Accordion Album to make a fun project that is not just an album, but also a journal. I hope you like it as much as I do!

The measurements and scoring for all of the pattern papers are given in the video as they are used to make the page elements/pockets/etc. Have a pad and pen ready to jot down measurements. I used Natural Artisan Cardstock (linked below) to make photo mats and stacked waterfalls. You will need a total of:
6 - 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
10 - 4 1/4 x 6 1/4
2 - 8 x 4 1/4
2 - 7 x 4 1/4
I also used 6 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 printer paper to make the journals. I cut them in half to make 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheets, and used 4 sheets per journal, three journals in total. We will be doing the pamphlet stitch to bind them.

There will be full explanation of how to make the page elements including the measurements, scoring, and trimming. I will share how to add the photo mats, how to sew in the journal pages, how to make some elements for the pockets, and all of the cover creation. I will do a little stamping and I did use a Leaf shaped punch for the project, but this is optional. If you have any questions after viewing the video please let me know.

Have fun and remember to stay crafty!
