2. Fold over sides and glue.
   
3. Fold the 9-in. rectangle of solid card stock in half to make two 4-1/2-in. squares. Fold a 1-in. flap on one end of each of the 10-in. rectangles, then fold each remaining 9-in. section to make two 4-1/2-in. squares.
4. Glue together the three pieces of folded card stock, attaching each 1-in. flap to a 4-1/2-in. segment, to make the accordion-style foldout pages.
   
5. Glue each 4-1/2-in. end page to the back of each covered foam board piece, completing the album. Let dry.
   
6. Glue photos and other embellishments to the inside pages; let dry.
