Although I now have lots of CDs, I’m not much of a CD crafter, and this project reminded me of the things I like about CDs and the things I find ‘challenging’.
I wanted to take part in the CD Sunday challenge –Toybox Treasures – and felt sure I’d find something good on the Adorables Summer Collection CD. I did but it was part of a whole page of different images and I didn’t want to use them as they came. I took the Jack-in –a –box image into My Craft Studio and digitally punched it out but I still couldn’t change it to colours I wanted – or to a black and white digi stamp. In the end I printed it in grayscale and coloured it in over the top!
So, what I like about CDs is the huge variety of images ,papers etc, you can have. But…sometimes I find them a bit inflexible. It may be , however, that I just lack the skills to use them to their best advantage!
As well as the CD Sunday Challenge, I’d like to enter this for:

Hi Marina. I love your card and how you have achieved the effect that you wanted. CD's are a big part of the crafting world, but as you say, they can be used in so many ways other than just click and print.

Hello Marina. What a clever idea to have a pop up jack in a box for our challenge - I love it. Well done for persevering to get the effect you wanted. I think some CD images are easier to manipulate than others - depends on how they are set up by the manufacturer in the first place.

This is so good, i always loved the pop up cards as a child and i still do, i use my CD for scrapbooks, large tags and cards, and i also use my scrapbook kits for cards, they are all so easy to work with and my s/book kits have so many fabulous papers ready to print off. sue-b x
