[soojay]

[lalheg]

Lovely! Here are a few of mine

[soojay]

[lalheg]

Thanks

I got bored of paper with that one - there is beading and all sorts on it that don't show up

[soojay]

i forgot , this was for the cyber crop. i cannot take credit for the idea as janice did it in one of our classes.
It is cut into four and two pieces used to make a mini book

[little_lucy_13]

love your green / aqua cd, Linda. all the fibres / netting - gorgeous! I have about 30 cds ready to alter!!! (I've already alcohol ink'd about 8 of them but only one turned out well)

[lalheg]

Oh yes, I know those ones- aren't they lovely? Blimey - I made a card using a quarter CD back in forever ago and had clean forgot until now

Here y'go - had to dig out a very old CD of work - wonder what else there is on it.....

[KimmyS]

ohhhh I can see I will get lost in this brilliant forum. I *heart* altering CD's and once more, when I get home I will dig them out.

Now HOW ON EARTH to you cut a cd into quarters without anything splitting????

[lalheg]

Stick it in hot water for a while!

[KimmyS]

And what tool do you use then? Normal scissors?

[lalheg]

Yep - just cut!

[KimmyS]

Well, I wonder who is gonna "experiment" tonight :P

Thanks for the tips!

[LME]

Hi I have done loads but sent them all as mail art :rolleyes:

[lalheg]

No pics Linda? Yours are always special - when I find everything after my Christmas tidy away I will photo and post the ones you sent to me if that's OK

[LME]

Thanks :)

I have some I have been sent I will post them when I get home and say who they are from :wub:

[KimmyS]

Ok here are two I could still find piccies of.

The first one is part of my 1st ever altered clipboard and I have turned it into a functioning clock

The second one is a little bit of wall-art for my brother and sil congratulating on the birth of their son. I placed it in an altered DVD case so they could choose if they wanted to hang it up or hide it in the naff-pressies-we-get-from-relatives-drawer

[LME]

Wow they are lovely :)

[KimmyS]

Thank you Linda.....I have just snooped around your gallery....lush :wub:

[lalheg]

Love those too!

[Sprinkles]

[lalheg]

[Sprinkles]

Thanks :wub:

Really should do some more, did enjoy making them :)

Nura x

[Janice]

Another lot of gorgeous examples :D

Here is one I made for a tree ornament for my daughter - inside it has pictures of her and her boyfriend :D

[LME]

Beautiful Janice:)

If anyone finds it hard to cut cds draw around the cd onto mountboard and cut out :)

[scrapjax]

Great ideas!! Had to have a nosey at this thread as am in the process of doing my first altered CD on a LO for this weeks challenge.

You're all so talented :wub:

[Sprinkles]

Hi Jackie, you've come to the right place for anything altered;)

If there's anything anyone can help you with, then ask away :)

Good Luck with your 1st altered CD, you'll have fun doing it :D

Nura x

[KimmyS]

:thud: Janice that is so gorgeous!

[helenpp]

Janice that is beautiful - well done you! Can I ask what you used on the CD. Looks like chalk ink to me but maybe mistaken.

Keep the inspitation coming girls! Not done one yet myself but my inks are calling!

Can I ask how you cut into pieces - sorry if obvious but have heard you should heat em up ans makes easier to cut. I would like to do this for my current CJ which is MY KINDA MUSIC. Is this best before or after altering - agian probably obviously before!

Thanks

[Inky Angel]

I usually leave mine to stand in hot water for a couple of mnutes and cut with a sharp pair of scissors

[helenpp]

Thanks for the advice

[willsmom]

I did my first altered Cd last night, I used this PP yesterday at a crop for a pic of my DD loved it so much I wanted to do something else for her too :D

Trish xxx

[Janice]

That is so pretty Trish - lovely and girlie :D :D :D

[new2this]

I did a cd book for a challenge within our team. The piccies are scattered around my gallery but three of them are on page three here. (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=59384&ppuser=10959)
Do these count for this thread?
