      Thanks Brenda. I went on Pinterest to look for explosion boxes and came upon some with mini albums. I figured since I made a few mini albums and an explosion box before I could combine the two and make my own version. I did not look at any tutorials for it.

    Gosh, this is so detailed and so unique, not to mention just totally lovely. I've not seen an explosion box done as an album such as this. What pretty papers, embellishments, hidden places with extra goodies tucked in for someone to find & love! Well DONE! TFS & Hugs (hope you're not getting any effects from the storm).

      Thanks Mary. Well I can say Gordon missed us and now waiting to see what Issac will do. So far they are saying it will not come toward Louisiana but I think it is too soon to say. Tropical storms and hurricanes have a mine of their own.
