Good Morning .. Today is the day to get those last few things ready for regionals tommorrow we are leaving my house around 5:30am to head to lansing BUT before we head out I have another fun event tonight, its my scrapbook camp got 10 of my stampin queens coming and gonna have a ton of fun thats to be expected .. I am running to Borders to get another copy of my book I am reading to hand deliver( hopefully ) it to Shellie Gardner ( and maybe get a photo with her and my girls .. ) tommorrow .. Todays upload is my CD purse I made a few days ago Its really hard to put the actual template for this purse on here or anywhere for that matter But I will give it a try with the measurements anyway … One of my Stampin Queens gave me the template for this CD purse and I had to try and re vamp it alittle( So maybe I could make a few for regionals swaps ) with a few other ideas
The 1st photo is using her template ( Thanks so Much Philly girl ) the measurements for base of purse are as follows .. Bottom piece is 2" X 3 1/2" score on all sides 1/8 " and then score in half at 1" the 2 sides measurements are 2" X3 1/4" score in half at 1" and 1/8 score on 2 long sides .. thats pretty much it I decorated the CDs in the snowflake paper in Holiday tyme DS paper added white GG ribbon ( suck the ends under the DS paper ~ between the CD and paper ) these CD purses are big enough to hold the 3×3 card and envelopes .. The
The other CD purse I made I used a small 3X5 brown paper bag ( cut down to fit between the CD of course ) This way is alot easier But I feel IMHO the inside of purse when opened its a tad to big But still super dee duper cute ..
Tommorrow there will be no posting since I will be gone all day , But I will bring back lots of photos to share with you of regionals I am soo excited .. Even if it is snowing already here in MI ( YUCKY) Tigers play game 3 here tonight at Comerica park YAHOO! Also on my list of things to day to is to squeeze in a little 20 min nappy poo .. since this week started it seems I have been on the go go go go so I want to be re freshed for tonights event and also for my very early rise tommorrow .. But until that can happen I still have a handful of things to do today before 6:00pm tonight ..Cant wait to meet some of you tommorrow in lansing remember be on the look out for my Purple and black hat ( Its the one on the left on my blog ) Have a Great weekend!!
Until later …..Happy Stampin!!

Cute, cute, cute! Have a great time at regionals!
Just wondering how you cut the CD so it has flat edges?
Thanks!
when you mark your cd were your going to cut it.heat it up with heat gun then cut with scissors
Could these be any cuter!?
The CD Purses are very pretty.I agree with you the brown bag sounds easier to use. After I have accomplished my very long list of projects that I have to get done maybe I will try a CD purse. Have a great time at Regionals Dawn.
