Good Monday Morning! I hope the sun is shining where ever you may be.  This is a big week here- the last week of school! YEAH!!!  Wish I had a job with summers off.

Well for today I have gotten on the band wagon and made my 1st explosion box!! These are so much fun to create.  I now have 4 done and hope to  have 20-25 made in time for our craft show in November.  I made this one last week for a co-worker to give as a gift to her 4 year old niece.  The only guideline I had was that it had to be girly and if I had any Indian stamps that would be great.  She was just adopted this past winter from India.  So I used my new Aladdin 1001 Nights stamps from Whiff of Joy.  They came in just in time for this project.

 I made a little pocket card to hold a gift card and propped it up. I attached the flowers to a piece of wire that wraps all the way around the card holder.  The standing image is attached to a piece of acetate.  My images were colored using my prismacolor pencils.  I just love this set of stamps!! So pretty.

All the dp is from K& Co. and I accentuated each corner with pearls.  Hope she likes it! Her Aunt loved it.
