I'm not sure I understand what pages to adhere to each other. But I did what seemed like the right thing and ended up with more of a 16 page book than a fold-out album. It still looks nice, though, and I consider it a success! Now all I need to do is to figure out how to embellish it just enough to make it a present for my daughter, without knowing what she'll put in it. Happy
