Adventure Bound - An Altered CD



It's Wednesday Stamp Club time but not only that... it's also MFT VIP Day!!

What does that mean you might ask?
That means that for today and today only you can buy the April Release Who's that Girl set plus some other fabulous goodies for a fabulous price!
Check out the VIP Blog Hop - the new set is called Baby Bump and it's to die for cute!!! I've already added it to my long MFT wish list. :)

Anyway...back to Wednesday Stamp Club!
This week and in honor of St. Patrick's Day we are going green - meaning
* reuse or recycle anything you can find
* use green or anything with a St. Patrick's Day theme.

I used an old CD I had laying around and gave it a good ole' makeover until I ended up with a Picture frame Magnet.
I saw this idea and I thought it was during the Verve Spring Fling but now I can't find the original post to save my life. Isn't it just pure genius though? What an awesome idea!!

More about my little magnet:
I used papers from the Quite Contrary collection by My Mind's Eye. That collection is quickly becoming my favorite!!

The sentiment and my girl on the scooter are both from the Joy Ride set by MFT. I love how the sentiment kind of looks like a street sign. I did a little paper piecing on the scooter and colored the rest in with Copic Markers.

The picture was taken during my Italy Trip two years ago. There's me (20 pounds heavier - darn that heavenly Italian food.. was totally worth it though :) at the Trevi Fountain. Can I tell you?! I loved Italy!!! The scenery, the history, the art and the food!!! Sigh...I want to go back....okay enough with the daydreaming lol here is the list of my supplies:

Stamps: Joy Ride (MFT)
Paper: Quite Contrary (MME), Brown, Sage (SU)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Antique Linen (Distress Ink)
Accessories: Brads, Copic Markers, Sewing Machine, Notebook Style Punch, old CD, Magnets, Pop Up Dots

Thank you so much for stopping by!!
