Manila Folder Album Class....Prize for this one!--Winner!
Winner for this is Ronny! Thanks for the wonderful creation. I will pm you later today.


You guys are always so great at providing us with some pretty neat classes I thought I would do one for you. I made this album awhile ago when I was a guest CT and got many requests on how to make it so here it is......
(Please pardon the condition of the folder....it was all I could find :?)

STEP 1: You will need one letter size (8.5" x 11"), left tab manila file folder (also known as the 1st tab position). Open the folder so that the tab is in the top right corner.
Image

STEP 2: Fold the bottom of the folder up approximately 4" to create the pockets. When you fold the bottom up, the left side of the folder will match up exactly with the cut out tab. That's how you know you've folded up enough
Image

STEP 3: I drew a black line down the center for folding reference, but you don't need to do that. You want to fold the left side toward the center until the straight part touches the center line. This part is very important... the tabbed portion will overlap the center line! Just make sure the upper portion is even with the center of the file folder.
Image

STEP 4: Fold the center of the file folder in the opposite direction as pictured.
Image

STEP 5: Fold the right side over to the left side until the "binding" (the right side) matches up. You will notice on my finished sample that the folding doesn't come out completely even. However, it is important that the binding of the book matches up.
Image

STEP 6: Flip the book over (this will be the front) and finish it with patterned papers, stamps, and embellishments.
Image

This is what the book will look like when standing up...
Image
With adhesive you can close the end pockets leaving enough room to put in tags or memorabila.
Here is the finished project...all though, when I made this originally, I had the wrong tabbed folder but it still worked.
