Project posted with designer's permissionJanet's instructions:
The base is an mdf circle from Lowes.
I painted it black and I glued a piece of digital paper on 1/4 of it then glued a round mirror in the center.
I used some pearl ribbon around the mirror to finish it off.
The rest is just some ribbons, game pieces and misc.
Supplies used:
Digital Products
Alphabet is from Miss Mint at Peppermint Creative
Digital paper is my own design
Doll part by Maya at Scrapbook Graphics
Dress, hat and wings by Hope Wallace at ScrapArtist
Additional Products

Prima flowers w/mini brads
Chipboard M and washer word from Making Memories
Flower was purchased at Craft Warehouse
MDF round from Lowes
Mirror from Dollar Tree (in their candlescaping dept)
Pearl ribbon from JoAnn

I think your mirror is great, I love it. But instead of buying the circle of wood, use an old 33 1/3 record album as the base.
Oh gosh! it IS a mirror!! I thought it was a disk as in a cd disk... lol Ive got disks on the brain at the moment cos i have a stack of old ones to "do" something with...
Anyway this idea is great!!! I'm off to see what I can do with them..Maybe messages on them and stick them around my bathroom mirror...
thanks heaps!!!
