It took me FOREVER (hours and hours) to create a template for the sections.  I finally threw out my tutorial on cutting each individual section and created a template that can be used over and over.  The easiest way to create section templates is to follow the tutorial link below.  Cut your template out of heavy cardstock or window sheet.  

The FREE tutorial can be found HERE.
