When I discovered a tutorial by
Maria Bell on creating an album purse, I just had to recreate it. Of course, it took me all morning, which I enjoyed. Thank you Maria for creating this tutorial and posting it FREE for everyone to enjoy.

What I would do differently
- Instead of stamping on the cd envelope, I would have used DSP and cut a 4" circle in the middle and glued it to the front of the cd envelope. I would cut the DSP at 4 7/8" x 4 7/8"
- I had difficulty using the 1" round punch to make a indented tab, the clear cellophane inside the cd wrapper would not punch, so I omitted this. After completing the album I discovered the if you put a piece of scrap paper on the inside, next to the cellophane, the punch will work. The album definitely needs the half round cutout.
*I was very disappointed in my purchase of the Memorex cd sleeves. Memorex packaged the sleeves with a rubber band around them; this left the first 10 sleeves in the front and in the back of the package unuseable if you intended on stamping on the front.
