Being creative

Lately, I have been on a creativity kick. Of course, I spend too much time on Pinterest and think that I can make EVERY craft project under the sun. I have pinned a few good things that I will DEFINITELY try to pull off this summer, but everything else is just dreaming.

While working at Archivers, I always wanted to purchase one of the shadow box trays that they sell. A friend of mine announced her pregnancy so I thought it would be a great time for me to purchase a tray and get to work! Here is a picture of the tray before I got started.



She informed me that she would be having a little boy, and lucky for me, I had a paper pack with papers that had a mix of light greens and light blues. Without trying to be too gender specific (because not everyone likes blue for a boy and pink for a girl) I also tried to add some yellows in there. Here is the final product!


I added some space for the little boy's "stats" as those are usually fairly important when a baby is first born. I also left some of those larger openings fairly bland so pictures could be added. 

I can't wait to have another excuse to make one of these shadow box arrangements!!
