April Fool's Day Blog Hop

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 Tammy, 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 do a Jack in the box well actually a "lion in the box" lol :)
                                            This is what the box looks like when it's closed

Then....Peek a boo

Finally...Surprise!!!


Recipe:
* Birthday Bash Cartridge
* DCWV Spring Stack paper
* Martha Stewart scoreboard to make 4x4 box
I made the spring to make the lion pop out, out of cardstock paper folded in a zig zag motion. Then I glued one end of the paper to the bottom of the box and the other to a 4x4 piece of paper on which the lion was glued to.
Next in line is Amy from Love to Crop. Amy is super talented and has some really fun and inspiring projects :) 
If you get lost along the way, here is the line up of my fellow crafters:



                                                               Now for the blog candy!!!
