CD Sleeves

Our wonderful wedding photographer, Erin Leppo, recently requested custom CD sleeves from me!  I was so excited that she asked me to do this, especially since I've made collage-style CD inlay cards before, but didn't really know where to start with this project.  After trying a few different things on my own, I found this video for how to make a sleeve that can hold 2 CDs.   So I took a trip to Paper Source and bought some pretty paper and got started.  I sent some photos to Erin and although she liked them, suggested some lace or something else to fancy them up a little.  I agreed they needed some texture and this is what I came up with.  I think they turned out really cute!  I really enjoy playing with all the different colors combinations; my only complaint is there isn't enough different paper to keep me interested for long periods of time.   I'm looking forward to possibly  going to the vintage paper fair next month...
