Description:

Use some of your crap to alter a CD or DVD. Yes, there is a theme to this project - the altered CD will be based on your partner's favorite song or musical group. We will each post a few suggestions below to let our partner know what some of our favorite songs are and who our favorite bands are.

Altering CDs is fun and easy. There are lots of techniques and tutorials on line. I've been making altered CDs for years and I have a favorite technique that involves mod podging a printed napkin onto a CD and then embellishing away - super fun! But like I said, there are lots of techniques to try, so do it whatever way you choose.

Include a way to display the finished CD; a magnet on the back, a loop to hang it from, or a small easel of some type so it can sit. These are the three display ideas I have but if you have another idea, feel free to use it.

So, one altered music themed CD for your one partner. Include a way to display the CD. Also, please include a note telling your partner a little bit about the CD so she will know exactly what it represents.

Please post below a few ideas for your partner about your musical tastes - fave songs, fave bands, favorite singers, etc.

Do good work, have fun and get your crafty crapping on!!

Very cool swap---I'm in!!

I like old school---Billie Holiday, Tony Bennet(I've seen him 3x in Vegas---always a great show), Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gay---anything old Motown, Patti LaBelle, Christinia Aguilar---newer artists---not so much---guess I'm showing my age!

Thanks for signing up, Lu! I also like Billie Holiday, Aretha and Marvin Gay. We aren't old, we just have good taste! ;) I'd love to get a few younger gals in on this too - it's always fun to check out what the "kids" are listening to. =)

This sounds fun! You're going to have to wait for the "young gals" though! I'm a James Taylor, Carol King, Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet with a heaping side of the Grateful Dead, old gal!
