CD Cover Mini album

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.

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.

Falling for you ......

A quikie from me. Making last minute entry

The leaves are made of foam. Initially I thought I will keep the background blank but it was looking too plain so stamped the background and then added the leaves and sentiment.

House of Cards

Stand up, Be Strong......

There's an awareness campaign going on for domestic violence Hop To Stop and knowing the purpose I cannot stay behind to show the support.

I consider myself very fortunate that I never had to go through domestic violence but I also know others are not so fortunate. There are so many who are silently bearing it all. Standing from out we tend to judge the victims and simply say they should be strong and fight back but little so we realize how difficult it is for the victim to do it with their battered confidence and hope. But I strongly believe that the best way to end is that the person needs to Stand up and Be Strong to say.........No I will not take it any more. This would be possible only when, we, as a community show support to the victim that yes we stand behind them.

Here is my take on this theme.

Just a simple card with a message.

 

Stich It Up!

Hey there....I am posting after quite some time. Have very busy days and hardly getting time to craft
:(. So writing a quicky post. Hope you like it :)

I had some leftover cotton cloth so cut out two flower share out of it. Stuffed some cotton in between and stitched the ends. Still it was too plain so added one flower and a broken button in the middle.

 

Some zoooooom of the flower!!

I mounted this on a card on a twig and wrote the sentiment. Done :). Simple and clean
