This is another remake of a previous album that I did in 2014. The original posts on YouTube start with this one. I was just starting to do tutorials on YouTube and this series is 8 short videos in all. I updated the book and revamped it in this tutorial.

I used the lay flat album cover method you can see here... I also used my stacked waterfall method you can see here... There is a walk through at the beginning of the video. In that album I use the paper collection "Majestic Dreams". During the tutorial I use the paper collection "Autumn Orchard". Pictures of this album completed are at the end of the video. These papers are exclusively available at Country Craft Creations.  
I used about 16 sheets of Artisan cardstock for the base color and 4 sheets of a contrasting cardstock for photo mats (I used Artisan Pearl Sheen Gold for that). I also used about 1 sheet of Olive Artisan cardstock for some accents. These are available at Country Craft Creations. Also from the store I used chipboard, Art Glitter Glue, Graphic 45 tags and seam binding in Chocolate and Olive. I hope you enjoy the tutorial. Below is a cutting guide for the cardstock and chipboard.
