I had so much fun with my first Goodwill creation, I had to try another. I picked up this 45 of Air Supply's Lost in Love. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but Air Supply was the first album that I purchased with my own money, and as I proved to my husband tonight, I still know the lyrics.
I used my heat gun to heat along where I wanted to cut, and then I used my craft scissors to cut the record in half. This layout is inspired by Card Positioning Systems Sketch #31. I traced the album onto cardstock using a wide marker on the reverse side of the cardstock, and then I cut along the outside edge of the marker line to form the border. Both of these papers are from cardstock samplers I ordered from Cut Cardstock. These are very beautiful metallic papers. Both sentiments are from Art Warehouse Circles by Limited Edition stamped on Ranger Archival Cobalt on White cardstock. All are attached using strong double-stick tape.
Fabulous Stef!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! (not that Air Supply was your first album ;o) but your creativity!)
Love this soooooo much, and thankyou for the tip of using the heat gun, must give this a whirl!

What an amazing way to use a record. Very imaginative. Don't mock your first purchase, it obviously meant a lot at the time!
