Scrapping For Dummies

[shoes99]

The Rag Shop has their 12 x 12 scrap books on sale so I purchased one book and one top loading refill pack.
Well, I took the book apart, everything fell on the floor, now I don't know how to put the book back together.
The album is The Memory Collection MBI The Album People, Somerset NJ.
I am dislexic so sometimes left/right, over/under don't quite make sense.
The studs don't look long enough to hold the refill pack. I should have left everything alone.

Easiest thing might be to go back to the store to have someone show you how it goes. Sometimes this stuff if hard to type out. LOL

Oh....there may be a small package of post extenders that came with the refills...... or maybe not. You may need those. Look for them.

you need to find the front and back covers and lay them on the table. then look at the covers, there should be some holes to put the posts through which are hidden by a flap.
there is also likely to be a piece of fabric/cardboard which wraps around the outside of your pages and covers the spine.

You want to thread the post through the front cover, then the extra piece, then through all your page protectors, then back through that extra piece (so it is wrapped around your page protectors) and then finally through the back cover.

It's also likely there are some thin bits of cardstock as well, if so, they go spaced out between your page protectors, to try and stop the albums taking on a V shape when it's full.

If you have bought an additional pack of page protectors, then you will usually get post extenders - these are tiny lengths of postwhich you attach to your existing post to lengthen them. If they weren't provided, then you might have to purchase them seperately - it may be possible to get your extra pages in without extending the posts, but it will be harder.

You will probably need someone to help you as you seem to need 12 hands to do this easily!

I will see if I can find a picture anywhere, it is definitely a visual thing!
