Hi Alynne, gosh I don't think I seen that articale. But. I have made some albums. what I used, was 1/4 inch plywood for the back, and front, the sides are also plywood, except, the addition of the front piece is eather 1/8 or 1/4 don't mattern for the scrolling. and the backer for the front fretwork is 1/8. then the hindg is the same as the front. cut to 1" or what ever you would like it to be, it is hindged so the front is spaced aprox. 1/16th to 1/8 between the hindg and the front fretwork. and then I put some spacers in holes to hold the photos. they sell them at michals or joans. they look like little tubes, that slip through the photo pages. then they just screw in to eacn other. sorry I don't know how better to explain it. but if you pm me. and ask me more quistions with dimintions, I could help you more. hear are some albums I have made. is this what you mean? let me know.the front can be any fret work you would like, these are mine. your friend Evie

Hi and welcome Alynne, The graduation scrapbook cover was in the June 2007 issue of Creative Woodworks and cRafts magazine.Although you found the best message board scrollsawing related, that particular project was in what we call "the other" magazine. Still not a total loss by any means however, because the author and designer of that particular project hangs out on this site a lot, and is a frequent, and highly regarded asset to our little scrolling family here on the message board.Sue Mey is the one to look for on here, or her direct website is Free Scroll Saw Patterns, Artists Tips Free Scroll Saw Patterns, Artists Tips

Another useful link here, as long as am pasting links, is a link to SAW-online, at Scrollsaw Association of the World where I located the index of magazines and all the projects in them, which helped me locate the particular project you are referring to.Good luck, I hope I was helpful, if not, just holler again. link Scrollsaw Association of the World
