    Hello, I just discovered your channel yesterday and watched your tutorial on the wallet album. I made one last night following your wonderful instructions. They were clear and precise. I was wondering if you could figure out the dimensions/instructions for the Exploding Box tutorial by Palomas on You Tube? I tried following her but it was way too fast and can’t get the dimensions.
    I initially got her website from The Paper Boutique’s Fab 5 Friday.
    Thank-you for sharing your talent. It is much appreciated and I can’t wait to see more of your fabulous tutorials.
    Marlene

      Hi Marlene, Yes I can do a tutorial on an Exploding Box for you, I found the one you mentioned. It is nice that you find my tutorials easy to follow and you have asked for my help so you too can make an Exploding Box project. I will make one and get it filmed. If you subcribe to my Youtube Channel you should get a reminder when I upload a new video. If not keep an eye on my website as I am planning to upload at least two posts a week. I hope this is helpful for you? Dx
