EXPLODING BOX

     

                I was inspired to create my own 'Exploding Box' by using directions drawn up by Penny Wessenauer.  The box measures 4"x 4".  After making the box from black cardstock I cut out panels of patterned paper from an unknown designer.

  

            Close up of the cluster I created for the top by stacking several layers of a floral die and topping with a butterfly from my stash.  Then I accented with copper colored Prill Beads.

    

            After removing the lid this is the inside of my box fully extended.

                Close up of my floral cluster in the center of the box.  It was created by again layering a floral die and setting it on top of a pair of rosettes.

    

            Close up of the Yin Yang symbol of unity that I chose for the four photo folio's. 

                Under the cover is a place for a photo on the bottom and a place for journaling on the top.  Folio is secured with a small magnet.

...and there you have it.  Thanks for stopping by...
