Birthday Explosion Box

I am so excited to be sharing this Explosion box. 

Over at Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group they are celebrating their 2nd birthday.  And each week are having challenges and games.  So, week one the challenge was to create an Explosion box.  I, unfortunately ran our of time to make the box and missed the deadline.  But I really wanted to try making an explosion box so I went ahead.

I am so pleased with how the box turned out, especially for my first try.  I decided to make this a birthday gift for my mom.  I don't know if I'll be able to wait until mid-June to give it to her...lol.  For directions on making an Explosion Box go here.  I did take a few ideas from other boxes that I saw over the last while (thanks ladies).

I have lots of pictures to share, so I will start with the box closed followed by open.  Then the rest of the pictures.
