This was a perfect challenge for me because I needed a birthday card for my older son and I wanted to do something with hearts. I used a tutorial for a card in a box and various faux metal tutorials. I used clear acetate to extend the inside panels so the hearts can look like they are exploding out of the box. I hope you join in on this fun challenge. TFL Francie

I always look forward to seeing your special creations for your sons, and this one is as amazing as always. All that rich texture on the hearts, and the contrast with the black gears. What a super way of using the ornament holders...mine are boring pine green hooks.
