Recycled Cd Cases

 Hello.  Hope your day is going well!

I don't know about you, but it always seems like we have things we need to find a use for.  One of the things recently was cd cases.  They had been left over after transferring cds from regular cases to the slim cases.  I had a bunch to use.  Fortunately, a poster on YouTube had just the project for them!  So I cannot take credit for this idea.  How To Recycle CD cases

Well, after the use of glue sticks, the cases and the inserts, here is what I made.  Each one uses seventeen cases, and I made four sets, so I was able to keep 68 cases out of a landfill, and it gave me awesome storage for my markers and ink pads.  I used the inserts on the backs to help make it a little sturdier and prevent the markers and such from falling out of the back.  Each one used six insert trays, so I was able to use 24 insert trays.  I hope you like them, and that it gives you ideas on ways to reuse things you have.  Simon Says Stamp had the perfect challenge; Recycle.

Our sweet Smokey...

We lost our sweet Smokey yesterday on 03/31/19.  He was such a blessing to us!  He had such a sweet and friendly personality!  Will love him always, and I know one day we will see him again!

Cats Love Christmas Too!

Here are some pics of my kitties enjoying the Christmas season.

Miley and Ralphie enjoying some television.

Ralphie saying "Don't I look like the cat on the screen?"

Leo saying " I am Supercat".

First pages completed in kitty scrap album...

Here are the first pages I finished in the kitty scrap album; featuring my Mr. Kitty.  We had him for fifteen years!  He was the first kitty I had as an adult on my own.  We grew a lot together!  He was a wonderful friend and furry companion!  He was a gift from God!

I really like how you can use single stickers and images; they fit the smaller albums so much better than the large scrapbook pages.  Works great when you only have a small amount of somehing or just a tiny pic or two.

Kitty Scrap Album...

Making this album out of things I already have.  The pages themselves came from a 31 booklet that was given to me.  I covered the pages with scrap paper and used my cricut to make the tabs.  Made the outer cover out of poster board and a cat calendar from 2008. 

Put black metal eyelets in the holes and covered the metal rings with ribbon.    Used washi tape on the corners of the cover.

 

 Finally using my cricut for something; making tabs!

 

 

This is the back cover; also from the same cat calendar. 

In the darker pic, you can tell that the pages have a heavier canvas-type quality.  They are much heavier than the thinner style calendar pages.  The calendar was a gift from a friend.  It has several images I'd like to frame.

I have more pages made, but had to pull some out, as it made it too thick.  Will save them for the next scrappy book.

Another pic of my little angel...

Here is another pic of my little Gigi.  We are learning to adjust (us and the kitties).  Have to have faith that Jesus is taking care of her in heaven, and that she is completely happy and healthy again! 
Going to make a little scrapbook out of some of the supplies I have available at home.  Going to be just kitties, so I know some of her pics will be in it. 

I think when she went to heaven, she took some of my heart with her!
