Don't throw away your old CD's!!!

Most all of us have old software CD's lying around somewhere, or miscellaneous CD's we've gotten in the mail, or CD's or even DVD's that didn't burn properly. Well here's a great project that'll help you put those items to good use!

	This is an altered CD album. Mine only has 2 "pages" but you could certainly add more to your album. The base for the inside pages could be covered CD's or just plain card stock, whichever you prefer.
	Here's a tip for punching holes in CD's and even tougher things like tin pails - use the Crop-A-Dile. It has industrial strength punching power!

We all need a little inspiration

This is one of the door prizes that I made for my first open house. It's a covered Jr. legal pad. On the outside of the cover I stamped the definition for "Inspire" from the Define Your Life set.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Live Your Dream set shown in the Occasions Mini. There's also a pocket on the inside. I made a beaded pen to match, but I haven't taken a picture of that yet. I'll update this post later so you can see both of them together.











The second picture shows you what it looks like inside. Click on it to see a bigger image. If you looks closely you'll see the curved edge of the pocket on the left side.
