I was thinking of putting to use some spare CD covers I have at home. Then one day my friend wanted me to make a gift for him so that he could give to his sister newly married sister, so I decided I would make a mini album of the CD cover I had.
First made these quilled teddies. Went through all the tutorial and videos on internet and finally made them. Making teddies was the most time consuming for me this this project.
The edges I covered with some colored papers.

I had some beautiful textured papers which I collected over so many years from invitations, magazines and whatever I could get my hand on. So decided to finally make use of it. Picked two different papers and cut it into the size so that it fits into that CS cover. Then decorated those papers. Purposely did not add any 3D ornaments as I wanted those to fit in the cover and can be closed. In each sheet I kept some grooves so that photos or mementos can be tugged in.
Covered inner side of the CD cover with crepe paper added the sentiment "Life is Beautiful" and some decoration.
For the outer side of the CD cover was again covered with the paper and adorned with teddies and some quilled flowers
The edges I covered with some colored papers.
After I gave it to my friend he suggested me to make the sheets as wall hanging so that either they can display the photos or keep them in this album. So made the change and here is how it looks.
