Hybrid Feature - CD Album

Hi everyone, did you enjoy our block party? I know I had a lot of fun putting products together for it! Now it is time to SCRAP using them :)

Today I wanted to show you some steps on how to create a CD album:

Firstly, create your pages digitally using a template. If you are pressed for time there are quickpages and printables available, but with a template you can use any kit for any occasion.

Once you do that, you will need your printed out pages, scissors, mod podge, ring, and CD/DVD discs (and embellishments such as buttons and ribbons if you prefer). Print out your pages on Glossy Photographic Paper, this is what I use for vibrant colours (if you go for matte paper or any cheaper alternative DO NOT use mod podge as it will warp the pages and make your life difficult, use double sided tape instead). Cut out your pages using scissors or a craft knife.

Before adding your album pages to the disc, scratch it a little if possible, just to help the glue stay in the disc which has such a smooth surface. Apply a thin layer of mod podge and place your pages one by one, doing your best to align front and back designs.

 

After you have all your pages done and BEFORE you start embellishing, mark the hole locations on your pages and punch them with the crop a dile. If one is not accessible you can ask hubby or someone to drill the holes for you (crop a dile is way easier though, I know from experience!).

I prefer to punch my holes on the sides. I am not 100% happy with my other two CD albums which I have punched at the top, because the pages don't sit next to each other, they sit on top of each other. If you punch the holes on the sides than your album will read like a book.

After the holes are punched you just need to add a ring and some embellishments. I have left space on my album for real embellishments, including space for the title, but off course you can do all of that digitally and have the album ready as soon as you adhere the pages to the discs :)

Here is the finished project:

Summer Block Party Craft Corner :)

So our summer block party is in full swing :) Today we wanted to give you a little craft project to work on.

Photo textures are all the rage among professional photographers. They create drama and give your photos that little pop to help them stand out and shine. Today we want to challenge you to follow our video tutorial and rock out the photo textures. We've created a challenge gallery for your photos, so be sure to upload them so we can see the before and after shots!

Here are some before and after shots using Michelle's
