I am participating in my first ever Frugal Fridays over at BiblicalWomanhood.com. Head on over there to get some great tips on saving money and stretching a dollar.
I am on task this year to find Christmas gifts for under $10.00. I've been doing pretty well with this and want to share with you one of my favorites.
I found this plain, metal cd holder at the dollar store and decided I could easily fancy it up with left-over scrap pieces from my scrapbooking stash. This gift is designated for my 7 year old niece.
Here's how it turned out. The front:
The back: 
Everything I used to decorate the cd holder I already had. Heck, I have enough scrapbooking stuff to do probably 20 cd holders! Mmm...maybe I'll sell one or two on ebay and see how it goes.
Not a bad Christmas gift for a seven-year-old girl if I do say so myself. All I spent was .99 cents and made great use of my scrapbooking left-overs.
What do you think?

Wow! I love this project! I'd like to link to this post for my craft tip Tuesday!
I LOVE it! Too cute. I've done altered clipboards as Holiday Countdowns I'm going to gift. And I plan to alter some composition books for my daughter. Love this stuff :-)
What a great idea! Just in the last month or so, I've started trying to watch what I spend. Why I waited this long to start, beats me!
