Oh my goodness...how generous of Suha!!  For myself I see some shopping in the near future!

Okay...onto my post for today!  I'm struggling right now in the Mojo department...so...thought I'd do something that I really enjoy...and that is making explosion boxes!  

Now...I have to warn you that I have LOTS of pics...it's really hard to photograph all the elements not to mention a "double" explosion box...YES...I went a little crazy!!  AND I used my favourite colours...lol!!

Here is what I came up with...
please click not the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
this is the outside with this Tilda tag that can be attached...
DP is Maja Design from the Vintage Romance collection...
lots of lace, ribbon and goodies...
overview...
 this is the tag that I made for attaching onto the box...
this darling Tilda is "Tilda Hiding Her Heart" from the With Love Colletion 2013...
coloured with my copics...dusted with Aged White Franatge...
matted on cheesecloth then attached to a larger heart...heart was cut using a Spellbinders die...
I added ribbon and pearls...
"Love" is a Hero Arts stamp...stamped with Stazon onto chiffon ribbon...

 heart was made using about 8 die cut hearts...
