Here I have taken my CD cover and used it on a Scrapbook page. It is a great way to save photos onto a disc and keep them in a safe place in your Scrapbook album, especially for a special event, like an engagement party, baptism, milestone birthday etc…

Using the CD Covers for gifts is also a great way to give others photos from an event, whilst making it special also.

Well I hope you enjoyed that tutorial…..

Take care!
