This Mini Accordion Photo Album was created for the April Heart2Heart Challenge "Photo Op" and will be given to my sister-in-law to share the beautiful flowers on our cacti in the Spring time of Arizona.
The first picture is the front of the album measuring 5" x 5" with the inside pages being 4" x 4" (measurements of the cuts are at the bottom of this blog. I did one of these albums for my neighbor so had limited directions on how to cut and fold the album...I could not find a You Tube on this, and I believe my daughter shared these with me.
This is the back side of the Album, stamping and masking two stamp sets.
After cutting and scoring and adhering your (3) panels, you cut and lay out your photos any way you want, along with some design paper to break up some of the pictures.
The next three pictures show you a closer view of each of the 3 panels.

Squash Book Tutorial: "MayMay Make It" Toni Lynn Holstein Moffatt, a facebook commenter told me the name of this project. So I looked on You Tube and found one similar to my album. Click on MayMay tutorial for instructions. Kinda wish I had this tutorial before I did my album and the edging and bow attachment would be correct.
The combinations of your photos and design papers can be put on any space, in any order, on any square or triangle or you can even do a full square and use triangles. Do whatever looks good for you. Make sure when you are adhering the design papers and photos that you don't overlap them on the fold lines.

What a gorgeous card fold with such beautiful AZ images, Suzanne. Such a perfect card to send someone who can not even begin to imagine the beauty of the desert! (I remember seeing AZ Highways when I lived in NJ and thought the photos had to be doctored up. Nope!)

Not sure if this will work but youtube has a tutorial on how to make Suzanne project
It is called Squash Explosion mini Album tutorial
this is the link for the video but not sure if it will work but if not you can put in the name of the tutorial and youtube should bring it up.
Patricia St Martin,DT yesterday
Yes it does work!!!!
Suzanne Reynolds yesterday
Pat, thank you and the Design Team on the many compliments on my Squash Card/Photo Album. And glad you included this tutorial on The Outlawz, it really is a fantastic tutorial. I did mine before I found what they called this fold, someone on Facebook gave me the fold name and then I looked up the tutorial and it is so easy to follow...enjoy. I wish I had seen this before I finished my album and it would have made it easier.
Patricia St Martin,DT yesterday
Thanks Suzanne for sharing that with us and hope some of the girls will give it a try. You did such a beautiful job.
Wow, what a great project! I love the unique way you captured the beauty of cacti! Thanks for playing along with Between the Folds (BTF)!
