Sunny Stampin Explosion Box Challenge

Hello Stampers!

I am reposting this from a week ago as I posted it the wrong day.  

We had some fabulous weather over the past few days.  Usually at this time in January we have freezing temperatures and may even get a snow storm or 2.  Our temperatures have been in high 50’s to mid 60’s and one day it was even close to 70.  It was delightful.

Over at Sunny Stampin Morning Donna conducts a morning chat.  This is open to all stampers and we have a great time.  If you get a free morning at 10 join us as we have a lot of fun.  One of the activities Donna started is a biweekly challenge.  We have had some fun ones in the past and this time she challenged us to make an explosion box – she tries to pick challenges that will stretch our skills.  I have made explosion boxes in the past so I wanted to challenge myself by trying a different shape rather than a box.  I saw on another demos blog a pyramid shaped explosion box and decided to try that one.  I had to go searching for a pattern but once I found out how to cut it I was set.  Here is my box I made for the challenge.

Explosion boxes are designed to be scrapbooks.  I will be putting pictures in here but not sure what the subject will be yet.  I will add journaling too.  Not sure if I will add the journaling with a tag I hang from the panel or a punched image on the panel.  Hope you enjoyed my explosion box and that if you get a chance you will join us.  Thanks for looking and have a Sensational Sunday!
