I love the binding on this album, it's reminds me of a corset laced up with ribbon.

make a Cupcake Mini Album

Leslie makes this cute Sweet Angel Cupcake Mini Album.
Using old or scratched cd's create a "chain" by gluying 2" of ribbon to a cd. This can be repeated until you have 4 or 5 cd's (pages) to play with. Glue patterned paper to all the cd's covering the ribbon. Add your photos, envelopes, chipboards, flowers, rub ons, etc to album. For the top I used a 5" foam ball. I punched 1" circles and glued to ball, then added ball to a 5" circle covered with a doilie. For the base I used a cd case. I trimmed the case with paper and added chipboard, rub ons, flower and bling. At the top of the cupcake add layers of flowers and a pin.
