The bus came by and I got on...another German Bus

After my first attempt at the Bitten By the Bug 2's Life in 3D challenge.  I thought I could do a better job at my bus and I had a few other ideas to improve upon the first one.  I also had a friend in mind, he was suffering from cancer and I thought this trinket box might brighten his day.  Luckily he did receive this a few weeks before he ultimately succumb to the disease. He passed one week ago today. 


 

I have him as shotgun and our favorite musician driving the bus.  I added the band logo on the front instead of the peace sign cut that came in the set.  I had a time getting the logo to print at a good size to fit in this area.  I again added gems to the headlights.

 

I filled the bus with our friends.  It took a while to find proportionate size photos to fill the windows.


I put my crew in the back of the bus.  Most of the photos are from our annual vacation to see the band.  I printed and cut more of the "sticker" images and used one as the license plate.


Here's the box open.


Another friend created a video featuring music and photos of my friend.  Here is the youtube LINK. The "Island Express" bus is featured at 1:50.

 Ingredients:
Cricut Maker
DCWV Tie Dye stack
misc card stock and papers
gems

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:







Don't forget to play along with Bitten By the Bug 2's Life in 3D challenge until 9/28.

Thank you for stopping and tell someone you love them today.
