Exploding Photo Box and Ohhh so Cute Layout by Jodie Mason

I'm back today with something a little different, and it was definitely a first for me. This was a special present for a very special person in my life, that I was hoping they would be able to display and treasure for many years to come.

Exploding Box Card

This was made as a present for my father-in-law's 60th birthday recently. We had a friend of ours (who also happens to be a professional photographer) come and take some photos for us at his birthday party. The best bit is that all of these images come on this wonderful USB that is disguised like a business card or gift card. Some of these images were then printed out and used in this box card, and the USB is displayed within the central cupcake.

There are plenty of Memory Maze chipboards used in this one. From the outside you notice the 'Friends' title and in the center is the 'beautiful' chipboard piece. On the pages in between there are many other MM sentiments as can be seen in the products list. The majority of these chipboard pieces have been treated in different ways and this has been explained in the captions under each of the images.



Beautiful MM Chippie. This has been painted with black acrylic paint, had silver liquid pearls added to highlight it and been covered with glossy accents.

Baby Girl MM Chippie. This was painted with pearl ex powder (that had some water added to it to make it like a paint), and covered with glossy accents.

Daughter MM Chippie. It has had several colours of pearl ex painted on it and covered with glossy accents.

Family MM Chippies. These have all been prepared by painting several colours of pearl ex in places and then covered with glossy accents.

Ohhh So Cute Layout

This layout was made using some of the fabulously fun photos of my daughter Holly and I at the birthday party. As a typical young girl she loves dressing up and putting on a show. These pictures really capture the fun spirit of the day that we had. Both of the chippies were coloured with 2 shades of adirondack ink, which had been added to a cotton ball with some icocol and then dabbed onto the chippies. I then painted over this with some purple pearl ex powder that had been mixed with some water to form a paint. The final step was to apply several coats of clear UTEE and melt.
