The Circus is in Town!!!

Come one, Come all, To the greatest show on Earth!
This week at Die Cuttin' Divas we are having fun under the big top with our CIRCUS theme.

We were asked to think outside of the box so I decided to make an explosion box! :)

(By the way this is the first explosion box that I have ever made.)
These are the 150+ pieces that I cut using Paper Doll Dress Up, Everyday Day Paper Dolls, and Create A Critter cartridges so I could assemble all of the elements of the explosion box..
Around the outside of the box is the word CIRCUS.

Here are all of the layers to the explosion box.
This layer is made up if 6 clowns all cut at 2 inches.
This layer is the elephant and peanut group. All of these pieces were cut at 1 inch.
(except for the clown hats which were cut at 2 inches)
I just love the Lions, Tigers and Seals (Oh My!) layer. All of these were cut at 1 inch as well.
I forgot to mention that all of the animals have googlie eyes.
In the center of the layers you can see the Ringmaster, leading the show, and a little girl, enjoying the circus. (cut at 2 inches)

I had a blast making this explosion box. The template I used can be easily found by doing a search for explosion boxes. I found the template to be slightly off when putting all of the layers together. Maybe it was something my printer did to the template.

Thanks for staying though this long post. I hope you enjoyed my project. Don't forget to go to the DCD blog and show us your circus inspired projects. Also, please visit my fellow design team members, they all made such cre8tive circus projects this week.
