The cds look awesome so far, how do you get the images on the cd?

[Shotgun_Bettie]

Awww.. I'm glad you liked it. .I know everybody isn't into tattoo's and flames, but I guess the idea was sharing a little bit of me with my music. The 'cd case' is a little pouch with a lip sewn inside so the disk doesn't fall out. And yeah, I'm soooo hooked on that Citizen Cope song!
Wow macaulkv you take great pictures, thanks! lol

mrs.benjimadden I had stick on cd labels (Avery makes good ones that come with a software disk so you can monkey with pictures, headers ect), and I just used my desktop wallpaper (vintage tattoo looking stuff) and printed that on them. Easy peasy.

[macaulkv]

i immediately noticed the little lip in the case and thought the whole thing extremely clever. especially since i haven't sewn anything more complicated than a button in about 10 years. i was very impressed!

mrs.benjimadden as for my labels, i used the staples brand cd label kit. it comes with a software disk and it's cheaper than avery but i think they work about the same. i do like the fellowes NEATO cd label positioner device as well. i got that at staples too. it helps position the printed sticky label exactly and eliminates air bubbles. i only whip out cd labels for special projects as it's time consuming and adds almost a dollar to the cost of the cd.
