CAS Christmas - Birds

I haven't been doing much this week as I've been working on  a commission for a girl from work.   She wanted a card for her husband for their anniversary, but wanted a number of photos on it... so I suggested an exploding box  - that gave me an ability to use all the photos of their wedding and the family.  I really am pleased with the result but it did take quite some time to get it all done.

Today I did get some time to time to get a quick CAS Christmas card done for the the CAS Christmas card challenge - cue word BIRDS


I used a die cut to make my dove from silver mirror card.  It was a die from a couple of years ago that came with a magazine.  I die cut the frame with a MFT die.  The sentiment was from another freebie set from a few years ago as well.  

And here is a quick collage of the exploding box - not fully finished


I've added more photos and the lid has a photo of them on their wedding day with the words For Ever die cut and other embellishments and sentiments on some of the flaps.

Thanks for stopping by.
