Welcome to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's April Fool's Day Blog Hop! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! If you came here from Cricutology, you are in the right place. However, if you happened upon my blog, please head over to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's blog so you don't miss any of the fun.
For this hop, we were asked to create a project that “tricks the eye”. I decided to create an Explosion Box...I have been wanting to try making one for quite some time, so I thought it would fit perfectly with the blog hop!! At first it looks like a cute gift box but when you take the lid off, the inside explodes with color and pictures!!
For this explosion box I used the video tutorial HERE!! I used the Blossoms and Butterflies stack from DCWV...It's an old stack but I found it for 4.99 at Ross and loved it!! I haven't added any pictures yet but I will probably put some cute Easter picture of my girls in it!!
If your interested in making one of your own...Please click on the link above...She explains it way better than I could!!
I followed the video tutorial and just added some embellishments such as: prima flowers, brads, bling, ribbon, and lets not forget STICKLES!!!
Next in line is Kim from Me-Ma Kim's. Go check out her wonderful creations and don't forget to take a peek at her SCRAPROOM post while your at it!! It's great and very organized!!!
