Some PINspiration started my idea for a "baby's starter library" for a baby shower gift. Yes my inexpensive finds of some basic baby books were the foundation of the gift.
So few gifts include a handmade card or element. And I don't think it's lack of talent, simply a lack of time.
My two PINSpiration photos (top and bottom left side) are included. I liked the idea of the word BABY in a fancy script and a garden theme for the "starter library." My first sketch is included - I guess mated spacing and my colors and flower shapes. Here is experimented with color pencils in sons school supplies.

Total time commitment was about two hours. 30 minutes to find the PINspiration, 30 minutes for my sketch and the final piece took one hour to sketch and assemble with the toile cover glue on and then tied to the books with a pretty ribbon.
The books were added to our pack which included the splurge gift, a pack if diapers.
Happy photo finding. Photo 4 of 5 Final Sketch for cover of the books when wrapped.
UPDATE March 2015
I'll be making 2 more of these gifts for babies we are Welcoming into the World.
My only change to this project is making this "Babies First Library" instead of starter.
