Exploding Book/Card for Halloween

My friend Judy showed me the exploding books she's been making. I loved her idea and decided to try it on a smaller scale. She was using 12x12 sheets and I tried 8x8. I like the smaller version...it works better for me. Please have fun with it though...try whatever size you like! I made a template (see the link below in the supply list) so it's easier to see how to do the folds and assembly.

Summer Fire Flies

Click HERE for the Whimsy Stamps/Make It Crafty Blog Hop

I don't know about other parts of the world, but during the summer here in Kansas we have fire flies (lightening bugs) like crazy! Sometimes the yard looks like it has a sparkly carpet! They just amaze me. I don't usually say things like that about bugs hehe. I was looking at my Meljen's images the other day and thought this one would be so cute colored at night to show it's glow! I used chalks to make it glow and to make the background dark. Our summer is coming to a close...I'm thankful the 120' temps are gone, but sad to see this time end with my kids!
