First Explosion Box

I am terrified of 3-D or altered items.   I get very overwhelmed looking at the finished items and automatically say I can't do that.   This week I decided to tackle that fear and make something.   I picked one that was probably too difficult to start off, but I did complete it.    I used some retired/retiring paper and I think it turned out okay.   I learned so much while making it and that's the most important part!

For everyone that asked, here is the tutorial I used.  I found one I liked better, but of course I can't find it now.  Go figure!   You can also Google scrapbook explosion box and pull up tons of them.

  4. You did a great job with this. I actually love 3d items but I have been afraid to tackle one of these yet. Your braveness gives me courage. Some day.

  5. WOw! This turned out awesome! I'm not even brave enough to try this out. I'd probably throw it out the window half way through ;)
