Hello everyone! My niece contacted me and asked if I could create something for her daughters thirteenth birthday. She wanted a “time capsule” in which her daughters friends could write little notes and they could be saved and then given back to her daughter when she turned twenty one. So this is what I came up with! It’s a take in an explosion box. I created the box out of medium weight chipboard and then attached a pocket style mini album to the inside. I really like how it turned out and the best thing is so did my niece and her daughter!
Ginger, your creativity amazes me once again. This is an incredible and new take on the explosion box and I just love it!!
Thanks for all the wonderful creations you share.
I designed one a year ago using Couture – http://paper-architecture-sabrina.blogspot.ca/2014/04/exploding-mini-album.html
The Raining Cats & Dogs looks good too.
Oh wow! Your project is beautiful!
Loved the explosion box. I hope you will do a tutorial for this
Ginger This box is stellar! Are you able to do a tutorial for this? Your tuts are so easy to follow Thanks Fay
Could you tell me what size your box is for the Grahic 45 Raining Cats and Dogs? This is so very cute!
Love your project. I wish you would do another tutorial on making a mini album from start to finish.
WOW…that is one gorgeous box and mini. What a great idea your Niece had. The paper collection is wonderful, I love the box top……well, I love it all, from top to bottom! You are one talented lady and I am so glad you share with all of us to keep us inspired!
Super Cute!

Beautiful project. What a fantastic idea. I hope you don’t mind if I try to replicate this for my great niece’s 10th birthday.
I am always impressed beyond words with your creations. Wonderful idea and such a lovely thing to do. That G45 collection is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Love it ! I have a niece that will be turning 16 and she would love one of these. Will you be doing a tutorial? Hope so. Thanks for all your incredible projects…..

This is beautiful! Love the addition of her name on the dangling charms. It’s hard to tell – is this a mini-mini inside a small explosion box or is it larger? It looks as if the box is around 5-6″ but camera angles can mislead you.
Also want to say thank you for sharing all of your amazing work – you are the one person I turn to over and over again for inspiration and your tutorials are amazing. Thank you.
Love the combo of explosion box with the pocket pages. Do you have a tutorial or templates for this somewhere?
