Welcome to my Blogaversary

I can hardly believe I have been blogging and showcasing my crafts for a year now!!! I've grown just like spring and learned so much as I have traveled the crafting path. I am sure you will be as impressed with the talent from these crafters as I am.

I know it is only the end of January and we really haven’t had that bad of a winter (yet), I am still tired of it and I want spring. I love the fresh blooming flowers, the wonder lush green grass, and the budding of the trees. I love the full explosion of spring. Therefore, as I began to decide what I wanted to do for this blog hop, I decided to do a Gramma’s Little Angels Explosion Box. This explosion box will hold my pictures of my three grandchildren. As such, the inside layers are not embellished

Here are a few pictures of my project.

There are three layers to this box, each layer a different color. I learned a lesson while doing this project. For the next time I make an explosion box, I will embellish the flaps prior to securing the three layers together in the center. It will be much easier to add the embellishments when you can lay the pieces flat.

Thank you for stopping by and remember "think spring" and have that "spring fling"!!
