I have been working on this one for days... and finally I finished it today. I am very satisfied myself with the result. This is the first try on an exploding box, I found a tutorial at the Whiff of Joy tutorial blog. Very nice one. I used a stamp from last year, that has been colored in since December 2009. And a new stamp from this years collection (inside the box - scroll down to see). Several photos in this post, just to see how the box works. I am entering this box into some challenges:
Whiff of joy challenge blog - challenge #87 layers, Paper play challenges - all shapes and sizes except rectangel or square, and one more for the Scrappekammeret - anything goes! And the ABC Challenge - distressing!
Closed box from the top:

from the top without the ribbon:

From the side, used a new nestie to cut out the window. Also used a die from WoJ (banner) to make the sentiment - it say's merry xmas in Norwegian:

all opened up box:
