Dimensions:  

Sizes shown below are for the finished pieces. Sizes in parentheses are size of paper I need to start with. For example if the finished size of my pocket is 8"w x 3"h, I trim my cardstock to measure 9"w x 3-1/2"h so that I have a 1/2" seam to fold under along the left, right and bottom edges. I'm not including tag sizes as you can customize those as you wish.

• Chipboard front and back covers: 8-1/2"w x 8-1/2"h
• Chipboard spine: 3-1/4"w x 8-1/2"h
• Accordion mini album on front cover:
  - chipboard top: 3-1/2"w x 3-1/2"h
  - inside pages 3-1/4"w x 3-1/4"h (2 strips of cardstock attached together and folded accordion-style)
• Base pages: 8"w x 8"h
• Inside front cover - Pocket: 8"w x 3"h (9"w x 3-1/2"h)
• Page 1 - Photo mat: 4-1/2"w x 4-1/2"h
• Page 2 - Diagonal pocket: 8"w x 8"h (9"w x 8-1/2"h) - After folding the pocket seams under, I trimmed diagonally starting 1-1/2" from the bottom of the left edge to 1-1/2" from the right along the top edge. (To mat the pocket, trace around the pocket over your scrapbook paper before attaching the pocket down - then trim the scrapbook paper 1/8" inside the lines to leave a small border all around.)

• Page 9 - Front diagonal pocket: 6"w x 6"h (6-1/2"w x 6-1/2"h) - Fold down left and bottom seams then trim from top left corner down to bottom right corner.
