Hook on to the Explosion Boxes.. this time it's a carousel one !!!

Hi Crafty People..

I'm certainly hooked on to making Explosion Boxes.. they are sooper dooper fun to make and there is such a lot of craziness in making them, a part of this craziness comes from the fact that, it's fun to watch the recipients reactions (of course, if you personally give it to them).. they are always amazing :)

This time around, I experimented by Making a carousel explosion box since I wanted to make one of each shape and size.

Here is what I made !!!
A Carousel Shaped Explosion Box with a Love is.. Card..
Isnt it cute.. I even have a Love is.. flag at the top :)


Here's what the box looks like when opened. Also seen here is the Card.. it's a simple card .. yet is very elegant to look at :)


A complete view of the explosion box.
It has places for 6 TAGS where wordings can be placed. as well as 6 passport size pics can be attached as shown on one flag (b/w this is my brother's pic when he was a kid and dunno why .. but I have always loved this one.. for he looks sooo sweet in this pic... which he is not, so good memory of him being sweet ;) )




Here's the Card that I made along, I had an Easel Card in mind, but somehow I was not very much into that idea and since my Box was all about Love.. I wanted my Card to be on the same theme as well.. and moreover I wanted to try out something different this time.. So .. tada... here's what I made :) and I'm in love with this card... it's sooo soo so sooo so adorable :)


A closer look at the flower in the middle....



I hope you all liked my preparation this time... coz I'm loving it..
and yes this is a closeup of the flower I made for the center :)

Vases !!!

Hellos Peeps, I have this fascination of turning any bottle into a vase... so far have made 6 of them into vases, the only thing is they are all of the same shape... now I need to collect different shapes bottles and turn them into vases..' Here's what I made from a Real Fruit Juice Bottle :) so far this is the second one with the same embossed paper, the first one simply has a bow tied to it !!! I thought of making it colorful this time and did some quilling.. and I simply, totally... loved doing the quilling.... Here's another view.... Loving the bright shades of colors on this one!!! And .... I picked up some flowers from an earlier vase... and put them up here... so this is how it looks with the flowers.... Gosh.. I still have a lot of flowers made... need to assemble them soon.... and I love the blue one's so they are the one's to be assembled soon.... I hope you liked them!!! Entering it up for the following challenges: 1. Lulupu's ...

A couple of trips back home and then my falling ill and then my little one, I'm still getting back on the track!

Hence most of the last fortnight went in planning and executing our little affair for our little one!!! Will definitely share up the pictures soon of the party! Here's what I made for my little one, a pretty Monogram for her, and which can act as a nameplate too!!! There is no denying the fact that turquoise is my fav color and I just simply love working with this little happiness bundle! Here are some of the closer pics!!!  Now that's a sweet little angel for my little angel!!!   I hope you liked my first creation for my little bundl...
