Hugs -

Nini

Hi girls!

Here’s another fun, creative swap project for us, girls: a St. Patrick’s Day themed altered CD!!! Basically, you cover both sides of a CD with paper, then embellish in a St. Patrick’s Day theme. You can punch a hole in the top and add ribbon for hanging, or create a little prop on the back (as you would see on a picture frame) so it can be displayed on a table or shelf. SO much fun to make - it's one of my personal favorite projects! ‘Just to give you an idea of what one looks like, here are pics of one I made a few years back for the Mail Art Swap:




You can also find plenty of other examples online for inspiration! <Doesn’t this look like fun?!>

Sign up for this swap will end February 15th.

Partners will be assigned February 17th.

Altered CDs will need to be mailed out by February 27th.

If you'd like to add special little tuck-ins, that is okay, but PLEASE know they are absolutely NOT required and should NOT be expected. I honestly think these adorable CDs will be the greatest little St. Patrick’s Day gifts in themselves, don't you?!

I hope you'll join in the fun! I can’t wait to see all of our creations!

Hugs -

Nini

Cool! So glad you're on board, Shannon! This is really going to be fun!

Connie! I hadn't realized the dates were so close to the big day! I'm so excited for you all! If you can't join us right now, that's completely understandable! If you would like to just swap one with me personally after things settle down, I'd be happy to do so. :) Just say the word!

Hugs,

Nini

Yes it is going to be fun!

CJ - for that one, I made a little stand in back... Kind of a flip frame that could prop up the CD... Here's what it looked like:





Having said that, however, I also have a Crop-o-dile tool that will cut a hole in a CD as if it were butter... If you don't have or know anyone with a Crop-o-dile, maybe you could heat the CD a bit and punch an awl through??? (BEFORE you decorate it, of course!). I would probably stick with the little frame-prop thingy, though. OR maybe hang a ribbon through the hole of the CD before decorating it, so that the paper covers everything with the ribbon poking out from on top... does that make sense???

Laurie & Maddie! SUPER! Glad you're on board! You'll be added to the list right away! YAY!

Hugs -

Nini

Okay, I got my holes punched! I remembered a punch tool my hubby has that he uses to punch holes in metal. I used it to punch holes in aluminum siding to make signs too! Worked wonderful, punched easily and made nice neat holes without any cracking, etc. YAY!
