Welcome to the April Creations by AR Mothers and Grads Blog Hop everyone!
Today we are going to show off this lovely Birdhouse Topiary.
Isn't it fun?
This template is a little more detailed than the normal template, but the extra few minutes it takes to put it together is so worth it! It opens in to a little surprise gift box on the bottom stand part! Pretty sneaky! LOL! I used the new Stackables templates that Adela just came out to layer my sentiment as well.
And look at this fun Grad Cap box!
This Grad Hat box is just the right size for a small gifty like a favorite candy or a special piece of jewelry or even a few buckeroonies. (FYI-the template does not come with the numbers) This box is going to my nephew who is graduating with his law degree next month! I know he is anxious to get on with "real life"!
