Wow another month has gone by way too fast.
Some lovely news that my son was getting married and an excuse to make lots of gifts for them both!
I started off with an Altered CD...one of my favourite things to make.
 

Nothing in my house is safe when I get on a creation roll! so out came two new cd's!
 

 
I glued the cd's onto some lovely Kaisercraft paper then trimmed with my craft knife.
the second cd I glue onto the back when its all complete to have a tidy finish.


All these embellishments from Imagine if are just perfect for all my creations!
The heart I painted with Inka gold then stamped with French script while the other pieces I used vintage photo stain to get an aged look.




First I inked the edge of the cd then glued on some bead dangle trim.
the laser cut chipboard pieces have been glued down but the sentiment "Love" I just touched the bottom so a photo of the couple can slip behind it...perfect!



With a selection of flowers and a chipboard flower placed at the bottom and a narrow lace trim added to the edge, a piece of seam binding added to the top for a hanger and a bow tucked in.
 
 
The second  cd is glued over the back and a spritz with Perfect Pearls for a sparkle...Perfect!
