Explosion Box fun

The Bad Girlz finally were able to make our explosion boxes a couple months ago. I started this vintage one with them. This project has been on our plans for 2 years and with life as it happens - has been postponed a couple times. I had been dying to make this. Over the course of time my idea/theme of the book had changed over and over. Originally i was going to do my family with immediate family, grandparents and great grandparents. Then i thought of a teesha moore style art box, then it was jane davenport art, then back to vintage - just not my family. So this is what i ended up with. I still have to glue items in the center of the box. I will be using antique lace, buttons and stuff like that. It was SO fun to make. I loved every part of the process. I used my vintage photo copies and scrapbook papers, vintage papers, stamps, washi tape and ink. Then i had to make another one- jane davenport. Since i bought nearly all her new products i wanted to use them in the box- i used her rub on transfers, decoupage papers, stamps, and pieces from the packaging of her products. It was so fun and colorful. I just used a stamp in the center.
