You are cordially invited to join along in the Zutter Zisters Blog Hop... it begins *drum roll* today ... Friday, March 26th at 7:00 pm EST ... and carries on until 7:00 pm, March 29th.
Now for the small print... visit all the Zister's blogs... make sure you leave a comment on each blog 'cause one lucky lucky person will win one set of Hang it Alls and a Rivet Setter ... and each Zister is gonna give one set away ... How cool is that!! You can find all the other Zisters and their beautiful work here:-
Kamilla; Fleur; Sophie; Pam; Lynne; Sarah; Shelley and Nan
The idea was that the CDs would look like table cloths ... you know as in picnic ... and the quotes would look like they were on pools of water ... and the characters would be nice and bright looking so they looked like they had stepped out of the pages of the book ... I did n't quite achieve this ... but it was a nice idea all the same :0)
The characters are all Oxford Impressions classic Alice and of course there are a few Wendy Vecchi stamps in there ... oh and Tim's flourish ... you know Tim the man that could reduce the UK's national debt while completing the Times crossword puzzle with just a blob of Worn Lipstick Distress stickles and a blending tool and still be home in time for dinner.
I used 1 1/4" antique brass O wires to bind the book and the characters are all stamped onto glossy card stock and coloured with Marvy Le Plumes ... I know ... had 'em ages and not used 'em ... saw a Rachel Greig demo and now I want more!!!
Remember the hop officially begins at 7.00pm EST on Friday 26th March 2010 ... so you can leave a comment here now ... but the US of A Zister's posts won't be up until a bit later! So go on ... leave a comment ... anything you like ... The prizes will all be awarded at 7.00pm EST on Monday 29th March 2010.
You don't need a blog to take part ... just leave some way that we can contact you!
Have a good weekend and Good Luck X
EDIT: I have had lots of requests asking about cutting the edge off the CD. I aim to please so without further ado ...
Score the CD using a craft knife and a ruler approximately 4 or 5 times. Heat the score line with your heat gun ... it does n't want to be hot hot ... just warmish to the touch. Then cut along the scoreline with your Timmy Tonic Studio scissors ... Simples :0)

Wonderful book, love it. Anesha
What a fabulous book. I can see that you cut the CDs before binding them: how? I've cut CDs before, but never this neatly. The characters definitely pop: the bright colours are a wonderful contrast to the more muted backgrounds and leap out at you.
A really beautiful book.
I wondered how you cut the CDs so neatly too. I've been saving up a load of them but hadn't figured out a way I liked to turn them into a book. You've shown a brilliant way here. What a fab book, Linda and I think you achieved your aims with this book extremely well.

Fantastic book, I love the vivid colouring on the characters! Did you use your Timmy Tonics to trim the CDs or go at them with a Stanley knife and ruler?

Love the book Linda. The colour is so vibrant and I'm glad you mentioned Marvy La Plumes. I have those and couldn't remember the name of them when I have been reading about the Promarkers and Copics. Are they the same? TFS. ~Glen~

Now I often suffer from 'leaky elbow' syndrome and I would recognise the condition in someone else... you don't suffer from it!! The CD book is bootiful and I also want to know what you used to cut the edge off!!
I would also like to get my mitts on some hang it alls... but I am guessing I may not be allowed to win! :(
Great projects! Thank you for the opportunity to win the Hang-It-Alls and Rivet Hammer & Setter Set!
Wonderful book. Wish I knew how you cute the sides of the CDs.
what an adorable book, need to make some kind of mini book for a bday. someone really special
this is beautiful! I'm tickled with the theme and your choice of color is perfect!
Great CD book - thanks for the tip in cutting the edges, I have a pile of old kiddies CD's just begging to be made into a book and now I know how = guess what I'll be doing for the rest of the afternoon now!
Fabby project Linda. Have loads of useless CD's, now know what to do with them, thank you x
Wow! That has reminded me of the first ever minibook I made, a maze book for the Mad Hatter cybercrop on UKScrappers - I was sooooooo excited when I'd done it, I've loved minibooks since.
With a daughter called Alice, I've been eyeing those stamps, I think I may just havve been provided with the inspiration to give me the excuse to go shopping - thanks!
Gorgeous bopok I love the colours

what lovely book such a great idealove it.
What a lovely book! Super cute:)
This project is GREAT...btw thanks for the instructions on CD cutting, I was going to ask as well LOL...
Your vintage screen is just lovely! I think tying it together with ribbon after you punched it was the perfect choice and a creative way to use the BIA. You've added so many elements and also shared a new way to use the BIA. I love the idea of displaying all of a project at once and your screen fits the bill!
VERY VERY CUTE STUFF 0 LOVE THE VINTAGE LOOK. AWESOME!
