Exploding Birthday Box

Hi Bloggers.

I hope your Monday hasn’t been too stressful.  Tonight I’m sharing an exploding box with you.  This was a last minute request – boy was it a stressful project.  I was asked to make it on the Thursday afternoon and my friend needed it first thing Friday morning.  I warned Chris he may need to help with the sticking and feeding me copious amounts of coffee.  It was hard but I got there, but I do wish I had more time because I would love to have embellished it more.  Oh and don’t look at it too closely – it’s not as neat as I would have liked.  Ah well, next time…

Card-094

It was a 40th birthday card, in case you’re wondering why it says Josephine 40.


Materials

Sentiment – sorry I still can’t remember where this came from but it was a downloadable freebie and inked round the edges
Letters – Dreamsfulfilled (I edited an I to make a 4 on Photoshop)
Sparkly beaded ribbon – LLB (this was a gift from the wonderful Trisha)

Thanks again for visiting my little spot on the internet and taking the time to leave comments.  I really appreciate it. Have a great week.

Hugs
