I’ve been invited to a baby shower! A baby shower for a couple of young modern parents-to-be. I knew I wanted to create some gifts that were fun and edge-y, hip, happening, cool, etc. {what ever the “word” is today)
{Name Blocks}
Blocks that spell out the baby’s name in hot pink vinyl on black and white scrapbook paper! I’d say that’s modern. Click here to see a tutorial on how to make these scrapbook paper Mod-Podge blocks. I simply added hot pink ribbon and a few rhinestones.
To package them ~ cut a piece of foam board and tie with ribbon. The fun little circles were all cut on the Cricut Expression.
{Personalized Blanket}
I took a store bought blanket and customized it with the Cricut Machine! Yes, the Cricut cuts fabric too!!!!! How cool is that?
A little zebra fabric, cute little pre-made flowers, zebra ribbon, and a little bit of sewing turns a store bought blanket into a hip modern baby blanket.
***Please do not email me on the danger of choking with babies and small objects.
I thought long and hard before adding the little flowers. Rest-a-sure each one is sewn on very very well.
A little detail. I painted a baby safety pin with black poke-a-dots. and used it to keep the blanket rolled up.
{Wrap It Up}

Be Blessed,
