A party invitation

We are taking a trip to Washington DC in September.  Each trip that we take, there is always a lot of planning involved.  This year it is a Red, White, and Blue theme as we visit our nations capitol.  So, for our final get together before the trip, we made these Explosion Boxes with the invite written on one of the panels inside.  We instructed everyone that the will be able to use this when we return to put some favorite photos in of our trip.

We used Nantucket Stack Pack from DCWV, assorted brads, Independence Day Cart and the Stand and Salute Cart.  We used Stampin up transparency for the "floating" stars.
