The challenge at Bah Humbug this week is to use a CD, I always have loads of old cds laying around as my son is DJ and he gets through loads and loads of them. I decided to make a little hanging decoration with a cd.
The CD is covered with a bp from one of Joanna Sheens cds (I think, it was from a file of printed bps that I'm trying to use up so I'm not 100% sure which cd is was from). I sandwiched a doiley between the cd and the layer of bp on the back of the cd. I also wrapped a wide red satin ribbon around the cd and popped in a hanging loop before I covered the back of the cd (you don't want to know how many times I've forgotten to do this until after I've put the bp on lol)
I've added a Marianne die cut stamped with a Paula Pascuale greeting in red dye ink and cute little Tilda coloured with promarkers and glittered her wings and fur trim with some creamy glitter. To finish off I've added a big red bow and some red and gold stickles.
I'm entering this little project in the following challenges
Bah Humbug: Use a CD/DVD
CD Sunday: Get ahead, get a hat
Incy Wincy: Punches/die cuts
Top Tip Tuesday: Bling it on
Winter Wonderland: Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas
One Stitch at a time: anything but a square
The cheerful stamp pad: Anything but a card
Paper Pretties: Glitter
Fresh Brewed Designs: Ribbons and bows
After all the hassle of decorating I've had a lovely crafty day and now hubby is cooking sausage and mash for tea! YUM SCRUM! I love sausage and mash :-)
I've been having an inky play making some backgrounds so after I've tucked in to my bangers I'll see how they've dried and maybe make a card or two.

Aren't you the lucky one to have so many CD's I like using the cases. This is a great use of the CD. It is lovely. Thanks for joining the "Anything But a Card" at the Cheerful Stamp Pad. Do come back often and join in on future challenges.
ReplyDeleteso adorable, love the doily.

Hi Claire,
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing what you and everyone else has produced for our CD challenge, I confess to a wee touch of envy that you have a limitless supply of old CDs. NEVER AGAIN will I throw them away as they are far too useful. I really like the idea of including the doily for a lacy edging and the tip about remembering to sandwich the ribbon loop BEFORE attaching the backing paper is a goody. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
Luv'n'Stuff
