Tis the start of the gift giving season. So many new babies born around this time of year, I know my son was. My Scribble Scrabble project today includes 4 photos that illustrate how to make a baby gift from a drawer organizer I purchased for $4.99 from the container store. I'm a military wife, and frequently need to give a fast and inexpensive baby gift to the other women in the company. So I originally took my husband's drawer organizer for his ties, (later I just bought them new). I paint and cover the box with paper, and load the altered box up with bath samples for a new baby. I change the paper for boy/blue and girl/pink. The Scribble Scrabble Baby Circus line is perfect for this because it includes both blue and pink papers, or other neutral papers if you don't know the gender (like green). I usually do the box after I get the call about a baby being born in the company, so I usually know. I added some clear wrap, ribbon, and a Scribble Scrabble die cut lab as a tag. Fast, simple, and inexpensive. And you can use the left over paper for scrapbooking or cards, what's not to love about that?
