A year ago, between my mom, husband and myself, I bought three
Mixbook $15
Groupons good for a total of $150. I finally finished Melodi's first year book and got 6 copies made (me, my and my DH's parents, and three sets of our DD's great-grandparents) . Since I couldn't fit all of the favorite pictures from her first year into the book I made CDs for everyone as well. This project is
pinspired from
A Beautiful Mess Blog who did this for music CDs.

As you can see I used a variety of embellishments, all from my stash. The letters were all stickers, but I used stickers, felt buttons, buttons and chipboard for the decorative portion. The original put them into clear bags but I was unable to find the right size the the local Hobby Lobby so left that step out.
