This is a mini album I made from cardboard and double-sided papers. It was a project at my last Hostess Appreciation night and it was a hit! This is a great project to showcase the 6x6 Pallette O Prints.
It was also a prize for my first Demo-Only Convention Quality Swap--I gave out complete kits with instructions to the winners. Be sure to check out my next CQ swap!
Directions are in the second comment below. Trying to ward off the avalanche of PM's LOL

Instructions for 4x4 Mini Book by GWTW Junkie on SCS
Supplies needed:
2 4x4 in. squares of light cardboard
2 5x5 in. squares of designer paper (outer cover)
2 3.75x3.75 in. squares of coordinating designer paper (inner cover)
1 3.5x4 in. piece of cardstock (accordion piece)
4 3.75x3.75 squares of cardstock (pages)
1 3.5x4 in. piece of cardstock (spine)
Corner rounder
Sticky Strip or other strong adhesive
Paper cutter with scoring blade
Cover the two cardboard squares with the two designer paper squares, folding the extra over the edges and securing with mono adhesive.
Score the accordion piece at one inch from each side, then score every 1/4 inch between those two scores. Accordion fold the cardstock. Use Sticky Strip to secure the one-inch parts to the two covers.
Cover the insides of the covers with the smaller squares of designer paper.
Round the corners of the four pages on one side only. Using Sticky Strip, adhere the pages to the accordion folds, leaving the rounded corners facing out.
Score the spine piece at 1.5 in. from both sides, and fold around outside of book spine. Secure with Sticky Strip.
Tie ribbon around the front cover and knot. If desired, make a strip with Velcro to hold the book shut. Decorate inside and out as desired.
