Explosion Box

It's Friday!  I am so glad the weekend is finally here.  This week has been very hectic and I am looking forward to relaxing and spending some time at home.  Today I made my first explosion box.  I have seen some different varieties but wasn't exactly sure how to make one.  However, Google always has the answer and there are several different tutorials.  Click here for the one I used.

Several people are having Back To School Challenges.  At first, I was unsure of what to do but then decided to make my mom a little something for her classroom.  She is a Science Specialist for elementary and a wonderful teacher.  Last year she received The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science. She and a guest (me :)) got to go to DC for the week and do all sorts of amazing things.  So I decided to make her a little something to remind her why she is such a good teacher.

Here is the pop layer before it went into the base:


An overview of the box popped out:

The sentiments are hard to read from the picture but they say:
Determination: makes all things possible
Commitment: is always rewarded
Strength: comes from within



The whole box put together:

Have a wonderful weekend!
