Welcome to the Explosions Everywhere Blog Hop! If you have arrived from Sandra's at 365 Days of Cricut, then you're in the right place! If you're just stopping by for a visit, and would like to join in on the fun, go to Cricut Love to start at the beginning.
Welcome to TXScrapperMom! I am so very excited about today's hop, because there is nothing more fun than making explosion boxes!! Today, I'd like to share my very patriotic explosion box with you :). Though we had the opportunity to make our boxes any theme we wanted, when I thought explosion, I definitely wanted fireworks! So, I used my Independence Day and Stand & Salute cartridges to create a little gift for my niece (shhhh...) with a little something that reminded me of MY childhood (can you guess what it is?!)...
If you guessed Pop-Its! You got it! :)
On to the blog candy (which I am actually very excited about, because it is the first time I have ever done a giveaway for all my wonderful followers!): A Gypsy clutch, a polka-dot CB folder, and some cute flowers!
To win, I just ask two things:
1. Be a follower
2. Leave a comment - w/ a way to contact you
And on to some even more blog candy...Scrapbook Steals has generously donated a gift basket with a retail value of $107.86!!!! Along with this, Kich N Bleus Designs will give the grand prize winner their choice of a digi collection. In order to qualify for the grand prize, you must leave a comment on every blog in the hop. 3 random names will be chosen from each blog and then placed in a pull for the grand prize. Here's a picture of the goodies that include...

What a beautiful explosion box. You always think of them layered with paper, but to have a display within (which is absolutely adorable by the way) is a different twist. Beautiful work.

I am happy to follow - your box is so cute - I remember those poppers! - What a great aunt you are.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Love your little wagon with the Pop Its! My kids love those things. We gather everyone, including the adults and pass out a box to everyone and have pop it fights. Sometimes they do burn small holes in our clothes so I know this isn't very safe but it is so much fun. LOL I think I just lost my mommy of the year award with that one. LOL At least not with my kids. ;0) Thanks for sharing and new follower here.
