Therese's Crafty Cabana

So at the beginning of October, my husband and I went to Asheville for our second trip to the Biltmore Estate. We went in 2009, and absolutely loved it, but didn't have time to see everything. This trip we saw everything we missed last time, including all of the gardens and the Butler's tour.  I always recommend this place to everyone, it is so beautiful in the Blue Ridge Mountains, definately worth the trip! So, on to my Biltmore inspired project.  I had a bunch of pictures...of course!  And I wanted to use them all!!! But I could only pick my favorites and chose an explosion box to show case them. This is my first time making an explosion box, but I loved it! I used SVG Cuts Explosion Box set, but since I only have a 12x6 Cricut...I had to hand cut the actual boxes, using the template as a guide. I did cut the box cover out on my machine just fine though. For starters, I picked all of the pictures that I wanted to display in my box, I have a total of 22 pic

Ok, so it's been fall for a while, but I always put up my fall decor after Halloween, since my place is always decked in Halloween goodness all of October.  So this was a picture taken on our way down the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina.  I have a project inspired from this trip with the pictures I took from this trip coming soon... Stay tuned!
