Good morning, and thanks for dropping by to hop with us!
Adela has been busy over at Creations by AR, designing some fun and very useful templates for Mother's, and for those Graduates that you need to remember with a little something, or a lotta cash...
let's get started!
As always, there will be prizes. There will be two winners per blog - each winner will receive one of the new templates. How do you win? Very simple - leave a comment at each blog! That's it! Winners will be posted on Friday. If you get lost, the blog roster is below!
First up is the Birdhouse Topiary. Oh my goodness - what a fun
project! As you know, I do not have a cutting machine, so all cutting
is done by hand. There were a lot of pieces, but the directions were
concise, and the pieces were well marked. I had no trouble figuring it
out! As you can see by the photos, you can display the entire piece as
one, or you can set the birdhouse next to the base, which you can fill
with candy, money, etc.

| CS: a muse, Butterfly punch: Martha Stewart, Flowers on base & sign on house: computer generated. Butterfly bodies and sign 'hanger' were drawn with zig pen. |
Next, we'll move on to the Grad Cap. This was easy peasy! Three pieces - the box (which can be used alone), the cap top, and the sentiment piece. The Congratulations stamp is a Michael's $1 bin stamp, and the scroll is from a Doodle Pantry digi image set.
Thanks so much for stopping by! You can purchase both of these templates at Creations by AR.
Now, hop on over to Sue's Stamping Stuff to see her gorgeous creations!
