Altered CD Mother’s Day Card.

Since today is Mother’s Day, I thought I would share a little something I made for my own mother.  I also made her some altered canvasses, but I will show those later in the week.  I made her a “card” out of an old CD.

 

 

First I used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut a sheet of K & Co. Smitten Pink Paisley paper to the correct size.  I then adhered the paper with Mod Podge.  (In case you haven’t yet noticed, I’m a fool for Mod Podge.  I guess you could even say that I heart Mod Podge.)  I put another layer of Mod Podge on top.  Once that dried, I painted the bottom of my daughter’s foot with pink acrylic paint and pressed the CD to the bottom of her foot to get the foot print.  It smudged a little bit, but don’t judge until you try to hold a squirmy 8 month old child with pink paint on her foot.  Once that dried, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch holes in the CD (don’t ask me why I punched 3 right together because I don’t know).  I tied pink ribbons through the hole.  I finished the CD off with the smallest circle from Heidi Swapp’s Bling line (pink circle frames).  I just wrote directly on the project with a black Sharpie.  I thought about stamping “Happy Mother’s Day” with black Stayz-On, but the only Mother’s Day stamp I own was a little overwhelming for this project.

I attached a magnet to the back so my mom can hang the CD on her refridgerator so admire all year long.  And I fully expect to see it there next time I visit.

This would be a great project for a mom or grandma any time of year – especially for her birthday or Mother’s Day.  What mother’s heart wouldn’t melt at the sight of her child’s foot print? 

I hope everyone had as nice of a Mother’s Day as I did.
