Try googling for "CD crafts." You'll get a ton of hits. Some of the 
stuff is on the tacky side, but I suppose that's in the eye of the 
beholder. I've seen some attractive jewelry (pins, etc.) made out of 
cut-up pieces of CD with faux jewels glued on, and somewhere I saw a 
charming set of scenes using miniature buildings, trees and figures - 
purchased or made from poly clay - glued to CD bases and incorporating 
the reflective surfaces as "ponds", etc.

I keep a stack of CDs in my studio to use as disposable palettes for 
acrylic paint. Very handy - the hole makes it easy to hold while you're 
painting - and reusable (any paint left over after the project can be 
peeled right off when it's dry).
