Mothers Day Birdhouse

I was asked to be a guest designer for a wonderful 3-D art designer Adela Rossol her web site is Creations by AR. She has some simply wonderful designs so go check it out. I will be giving away both templates one LUCKY commenter will win the Birdhouse Topiary and another LUCKY WINNER will win the Graduation Cap. The winner will be announced on Friday April 27. For this project - BIRDHOUSE TOPIARY I used all AMuse cardstock - it was just the right weight to fold, I used black/white polka dots, black/white gingham, onyx solid and did you see the roof - red woodgrain!!! I did a bit of landscaping with flower soft around the post and added grass around the bottom of the box using AMuse grass die and green gingham. This would make an awesome Mothers Day giftie - you see the top can be taken off and you can put a gift card, seeds, money, or chocolate in the bottom of the box.

The next project was a cute simple graduation hat - so simple, easy peasy to make - print,score and cut, a couple of pieces of double sided tape and the box is complete. How much fun was this tassel to make - (which are included in the directions along with the template. I chose my school colors green/gold in fact I think I will make these next year for our high school class reunion (how about a 50th class reunion). The box opens and can hold money, small piece of jewelry , or I think I am going to photo copy our high school pics and roll them up like a scroll and put them inside. Now if you will continue and leave comments "YOU" could be the Lucky Winner!!! Adela Rossol Amy Park Lisa Somerville Magdalena Cortez Mandy Gill Patti J. Gilliam Sue Kment Shirley Hotop
