'Exploding box with a twist' graduation card

Ryan

Class of 2010.  South Kitsap High School.

I wanted to make a very special card for Ryan's Graduation.  I chose an exploding box because adding pictures and momentos turns them into a very special keepsake.  They're time consuming, but I love them.


I used one of the name cards from Ryan's announcements to personalize the lid of his box.

I cut up a couple of graduation announcements and used the pieces to create his personalized box.  Above is a picture of the inside of the box lid.  This piece has all the ceremony information that was cut from an announcement.

This is the box with the lid off but not allowed to explode. 

All the pictures in the box relate to his senior year. Pictures include his 18th. birthday, homecoming, the senior prom, senior portraits, spirit day, he and his best friend camping and more.

The school crest, motto and mascot, (the wolf), were all cut from his announcements.

I did most of the work on this box while he and his beautiful girlfriend were at the senior prom.  It took several hours but I was very pleased with the results.  It was worth the time.  This is a very special box for a very special boy. 

I love you lots, Ryan.  I'm proud of you.
