Welcome, welcome to you for visiting me for my birthday blog hop. Day 1 was an amazing one with loads of inspiration and I know that day 2 will be the same. I am so fortunate to have amazing family and friends to share my birthday. Each year around this time I get to spend time with my parents and extended family and we have a BBQ. My cousin Tabitha made me the most amazing birthday cake. Since we knew that I was spending this time with them, I decided I wanted a special momento. Since I am crazy over explosion boxes and Disney princesses I decided to combine the two. I followed the recipe at this website:

Here are some pics for you :)

And here is the box opened. I will add pics from my birthday BBQ:

I wish I could show you all the layers. I used a lot of Disney papers, Bazzil papers and Jolee Embellishments. The castle in the center was an inspiration given to me by my friend Lynne. I was moaning that I did not have a princess cartridge or girlie girl cartridge and she reminded that Life's a Beach has a castle. Well I made it into a princess castle instead :) I love the pearls on it!

I want to thank my fellow hoppers and our wonderful sponsors for making this a dream come true. Thanks also to my co-hostess with the mostess Lynne who held my hand to organize this hop. Now I send you off to the talented Amy. Happy Hoppin!
