The pictures I promised

Well, this is a larger box, with 10cmx10cm sides that can serve both as a photo album and an Advent calendar.

Let's take a look at the closed box first. The writing on top means "Merry Christmas" in Hungarian, BTW:



Now a glimpse at the inside (this is a single-layer box, for reasons that will become clear):



(Sorry for the uniform blueness of it; the actual colours are much brighter, but my iPad decided it didn't like the illumination. *sigh*)

The individual pockets. They are numbered for the Advent calendar function, but I only took a photo from one side as they are basically identical. I used the Chrome function when cleaning up the photo and now the colours are a bit too bright. It seems I can't get them right, no matter what I try. I used snippets from Christmas wrapping paper, by the way, and created the number tags by simply outlining a coin and cutting them out with patterned scissors.



And finally 2 almost identical photos of the finished box; on one the lid is shown from above, on the other one the inside of it, just for archiving reasons. ;))



Again, the colours all have a blue tint; my iPad likes blue, I hate it, but I can't trick the stubborn thing. At least it takes good, sharp photos of small things, something I never manage with a regular camera.

That would be practical indeed, but I never saw the sort over here.

I've got a perfectly good rolling blade cutter, but I always manage to lay in the sheet of paper wrong, so they never end up perfectly straight. I managed the same with the old-fashioned paper guillotines, too. Apparently, it's a personal talent. *sigh*

Straight lines are just the hardest things ever. They're unnatural ;)

Oh, that's too bad. It should be universally available =(
