i had lost my instructions so had to do it from memory ,its ok i suppose but i prefer the fit of the way i have always done it , the pages sit nicely inside one another , mine have too much of a gap IYKWIM.
I JUST USED 12 INCH / 11 INCH AND 10 INCH PAPers and cubed it up

Thats a super box Kim. It would also qualify for your word

The little charms are gorgeous and add that special touch.
