<br />
so.... here goes, it looks complicated when you see the numbers but once you've made one its not so bad<br />
<br />
there are 2 ways to do this score then cut or cut then score - i prefer to cut using my square quilting ruler and craft knife but if you score first then its easy enough just to use a steel ruler and knife-or your trimmer<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyKYqwYbPcI/Trug4Ll0uDI/AAAAAAAAAug/FnfLMboblug/s1600/blog+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyKYqwYbPcI/Trug4Ll0uDI/AAAAAAAAAug/FnfLMboblug/s320/blog+002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> cut a piece of A4 in half lengthways (so you have a long piece 10.5cm wide, then trim it down to 28cm long. <br />
<br />
*cut 2.5cm in from each side from 11.5cm to 25.5cm (or wait til you have scored the lines then cut)<br />
<br />
<br />
score at 11.5cm - but only the first and last 2.5cm (so you have a gap in the middle with no score line)<br />
score at 14cm - but just the middle section (not the 2.5cm at either side)<br />
score at 23cm - only the first and last 2.5cm (not the middle bit)<br />
score at 25.5cm- again just the 2.5cm at each side<br />
<br />
make mountian folds at 11.5 and 14cm score lines, valley folds at 23cm and mountian folds at 25.5cm - so you have a step at the bottom and a staggered fold at the top<br />

i've got quite a few scrapbooking projects on the go- i take them out, do a bit then they get put away again- so i'm trying to finish them off today, i have a mini-book and a couple of lay-outs to do. i also have a canvas that needs a topcoat of pva, i'm thinking about adding a few beads to it aswell but i'm not sure - here it is<br />
