Here I go... this is something I have been thinking of doing for a long time. I am really excited to have a creative outlet! I just need to have a place where I can share the things I have been thinking in my A.D.D. mind and the things that I have been conjuring up out of nothing!

Now I am young and not experienced, but that will be the fun in this blog. We will discover and create new things together!

So for starters...

I needed a cute gift for a baby shower and as I was contemplating on what to make {because homemade is so much more fun to give} I remembered an idea I had seen a while ago that I had tucked in the back of that old brain of mine. I decided it needed to be brought back to life. Here it is...

In case you're not sure, this was made out of a baby formula tin. I just love how it turned out, and so did the expectant mother.

Then for the inside, I rolled up some adorable girlie onesies and put them inside. Of course I put tissue paper around them just in case there was any formula left in the tin. 

{The beautiful blanket I put with the tin was made by my mom, and I will do a tutorial later on how to make them!}

So what you'll need...

-Baby formula tin

-3 different colors of patterned or bold scrapbook paper {I've used cardstock and regular, and the cardstock works a lot better for this particular project}   

- glue {I just used my scrapbooking adhesive}

-scissors

- your cricut machine and the "New Arrival" cartridge

- stamps, stickers, ribbon, buttons and anything else you want to decorate it with

And what is really great about this is you can use any extra paper you have to make a card to match your gift. Which I did, but of course I didn't get a pic of it either time. Of course!

So a week after I made the first one I had another baby shower to go to. So I made a cute boy one. I just love the fun colors. 

Anyways, it is really fun to do, and will definitely be the hit of any party you give them at! 

But also think outside the box on this one. You could make them for your own children to put toys in, like cars or blocks and these would definitely be cuter to adorn your shelves than tupperware any day!

Hopefully you like them, feel free to leave comments and feedback!
