My first explosion box

Spring explosion box

Spring explosion box

Inspired by Life as Lou, who makes the most gorgeous explosion boxes by the way, I made my first one yesterday. Got some spring-themed papercrafts from JoAnn and got working on a box for some of Skyler’s pictures. They are nowhere near what Lou makes but they sure are fun to play around with.

Tell me what you think!

    WOW!!! This is my first time seeing an explosion box! It’s a great keepsake. Your children are so lucky to have you. I know they will cherish the boxes.

    I got hooked on crafts when I first got here. Craft shops are fun but yet soooo dangerous and evil!!!!!!!!!!
