10th Anniversary Explosion Box

Good Morning! 

This creation will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes! 

The Card Concept, Blooms and Butterflies.

Time Out Challenges.

Pick at least 2.

I picked Edge and Metallic.

I created this Explosion Box for 

Lori and Tim's 10th Anniversary!

That came quick!

I bought the actual box base from Scrapbook.com.

In the Kit they also had so many add ons like;

waterfall features, according tabs, flower folded pockets etc.

I used a few but have so many parts left over.

Once opened....it explodes!

I added die cuts in gold foiled paper and lots of 

ephemera pieces.

The  Designer Paper is by Simple Stories, Remember.

Each Tab has a Pocket. 

12 in all.

In the center is a folded box.

Of course, we added a little something-something in there.

We took the girls, Penny and Evie, and Hank the dog for the day

so they could go galivanting all over Cape Cod.

They did spend quite a bit of time at their Wedding Venue,

The Truro Vineyard--so MAGICAL!  

By the time everything was added this box was hefty!

Probably because it was filled with so much LOVE!

Each little pocket had a photo of them.

Blurry picture.  

This was fun to make and I think fun to open!

I know Penny was excited!!!
