Just for fun challenge No. 6 .... Explosion box



Happy Friday Friends!
It is my return on blog world! I have taken quite a long pause. Instead of creating, I was totally taken by knitting and catching up on Downton Abbey to make sure I could watch the premiere of Season 4 last week. I am also deep in the process of doing the 12 week program of Julia Cameron, the Artist Way. It is very time consuming, it also makes me reorganize my schedule around exercises/activities with regards to creativity. Things that are not blog-worthy!I have also registered in a photography class, which has been a passion of mine for quite some time, but my camera and I have yet to know more about each other, I'll keep you posted on what happens! Besides, my blog's name means beyond images, soooo, if I have posted many of my pictures on Facebook, sometimes I will put a bit of them here! Enough bla bla... On to our challenge. Well, I will present you a box, guess it has exploded already! cause I did not have either time nor patience to put together an explosion box. I will rather present you a Boitatou that was given to my neighbor's son who recently became a daddy! So special, when this neighbor and I met, she was about to give birth to her son, that was 35 years ago, I remember taking in my arms a little baby boy of about 2 weeks old, all dressed in yellow and white ! He came the other day to introduce me to his very own baby boy and I had prepared this little keepsake for the happy parents. Voilà!

Bon vendredi!
Me voilà de retour dans le monde du blog, après une petite pause! Non seulement, j'ai été prise dans le remous des fêtes, mais je suis à tricoter  une jetée pour mon fils, et je voulais à tout prix rattraper mon retard dans le visionnement de la série 3 de Downton Abbey. Je me suis aussi engagée à terminer le programme en 12 semaines de Julia Cameron, Libérez votre créativité, qui consomme beaucoup de mon temps et me force à réorganiser mon horaire en fonctions des différents exercices et activités que je m'alloue et qui malheureusement n'ont aucune valeur sur un blogue! Je me suis inscrite à un cour de photographie; j'ai toujours été un peu Miss Kodak, mais je trouve que ma caméra et moi on ne se connaît pas assez. Je partagerai ici quelqu'unes de mes photos,  le nom de mon blogue s'y prête très bien; j'en ai partagé plusieurs sur ma page Facebook. Bon, assez de blabla, mon projet maintenant! Pour ce défi, nous avions à réaliser une "Explosion box" bien, la mienne a effectivement explosée, puisque je vous présente la boite! seulement. Je l'ai réalisée pour le fils de ma voisine qui est devenu papa un peu avant les fêtes. La première fois que nous nous sommes rencontrées, il y a 35 ans, elle était venue me montrer son fils de 2 semaines, petit bébé tout de jaune et blanc vêtu; quand même spécial que maintenant c'est lui qui vienne me présenter son fils! voici ce que j'ai créé pour les heureux parents!




This is the complete inside of the box.
Voici l'intérieur complet de la boitatou.


I would like to draw your attention to the lovely gift card holder feature
I punched little stars and decorated them with stickles.
J'attire votre attention sur les supports à carte cadeaux, conçus spécialement pour ce format de boitatou. Je l'ai décoré avec des petits étoiles et beaucoup de stickles.


I hope to be back soon with more on the pregancy album for Cindy and our next challenge.
Je vous reviens bientôt avec la suite de l'album de grosses de Cindy et notre prochain défi.


I now invite you to take the next flight to the Netherlands
and visit my friends!
Je vous invite maintenant à prendre le prochain vol pour
les Pays Bas, et visiter mes copines!

It's a marvellous make, but I'm most excited by hearing about all your amazing development and learning that you're doing... I have the Julia Cameron book, but haven't done anything with it yet. Good luck with the photography, and hope you enjoy Downton Abbey!
Thanks so much for your visit and lovely words.

Hi Danielle,

Such a sweet and gorgeous gift!
With a 'special' touch! Love the giftcardholder, a great find (and recycled item?).
Edwin is soooo sweet and you've coloured him beautifully.
I hope you'll keep us informed about your photography lessons?
A splendid idea and it'll add so much more to your photographs when you want to put something on your blog, all your gorgeous projects will surely benefit from these lessons!
(Sorry for my 'Dunglish')
Thanks for the inspiration and sharing of your gorgeous card and box!
Bye from les Pays-Bas,

Marjolein

Oh, my goodness! Dani this is darling! Absolutely the cutest little box and gift card holder. I'm so glad that you're finding time to blog again. Our paths seem to be parallel as some of the things your doing I am also doing. Best wishes for a wonderful new year mon ami!

Enjoying the journey,
Blessings,
Barb
