You're a Dancing Shining Star

 

The background paper is by Karen Foster and the other layers are cardstock. The pink paper in the center was stamped with a Stampin Up wheel/rolling stamp thingy. The star brads are by Creative Imaginations. The sentiment is a sticker by Sticko

June calendar layout Dance Recital time

This is from my Mom’s calendar.

And this calendar is from my brother’s calendar.

The big thing about these layouts is the die cut dancers. I cut them out using my Cricut and the Decor and More cartridge.

The rest are stickers or scraps from various manufacturers. Thanks for looking.

Bathing Beauties Umbrellas

Today I help my friend that owns a dance studio with her annual recital. I wanted to show you the umbrellas that I made for her production number called Bathing Beauties.

The colors of the girls old style bathing suits are turquoise/blue, pink, black, white and silver. I made these fun umbrella's with those colors using felt, ribbon, rick rack, and sequins. Take a look see at the different styles I came up with.

Thanks for looking.

Dance headpieces

Today we head off to our niece's 1st dance recital. Her costume is adorable and she loves it. I just hope she wants to continue to dance year after year. If so I will continue to work to pay for it.

My friend owns a dance studio on the other side of town and I had the privilege to make some headpieces for her. For this first one I die cut the sequin fabric that were suppose to be wrist bands with a Sizzix flower die through my Cuttlebug. I also cut some white tulle to go in between. I wish I could take credit for the design but it was her design that I adapted to my tools on hand. Once the pieces were all cut out I hot glued them onto a piece of felt and onto a hair clip.

This second one was a flat bow and I poofed it out by placing tissue paper in between the layers and sprayed it with starch. I then took a strap from an old costume and wrapped it around the middle. Big and poofy now!

This last one was for a teen jazz class. They got a piece of fabric with their costume, at the bottom of the picture where the fabric and ribbon flow downward it's the one to the right. I took some ribbon that matched and a piece of sparkly fabric and braided the three together. Then I glued it onto a clip but not perfectly straight to give it more dimension. I left the fabric and ribbon at the bottom only because I didn't have good quality fabric sheers to cut them off. I left that for her.

Well hopefully my directions/words aren't too confusing and you've been inspired by the dance headpieces.

I have new cards for this weekend up until Wednesday. Please come back.

Dancing layouts all with red

I have a few dance layouts to share with you. I made them in May but haven't had a chance to show them. These are double page layouts the first page being the left side and the second page being the right side. This first one is fun because the paper I used is made to correlate with Mickey Mouse embellishments. But with two all black costumes I needed to add some color in there and dance and stars go hand and hand. The little tags were for her to journal on. Since there were a lot of good pictures to showcase, that left little room for a spot to journal.

I'm not one to do my pages exactly the same on each side but I did for this particular set.

The next set are more what I do for left and right. Similar color scheme with maybe an embellishment in common. In this case the polka dot flowers and the opposite color of ribbon from the same place are on each layout. I love that the stars paper came out of a Christmas stack and I used it for a dancing layout.

The gingham paper in this one is super old by Creative Memories but it matched well enough for me to use it on her layout.

And the same goes for these last two side by side layouts. They share in common two patterned papers.

The big difference between these two would be one has everything corner rounded and the other is not but they still looked fabulous side by side.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my layouts. Leave a comment if you see something you like:)

Hugs,

Pink Wednesday

I thought I would share a few different shades of pink I used in my dance scrapbook that I just completed.

The background paper is by MME with We R Memory Keepers on top of that and pressed Petals on top of that. The letter stamps are unknown (they are the titles to the song of the costume). Right flower by Stampin' Up and left flower stamp by Close to my Heart. Sticker by creative Memories. 

Black paper by The Paper Co and all other paper by Creative Memories. Flowers are unknown and outer border is tinsel from an old gift bag.

This an old layout that I revamped for her book so I don't know all the particulars in supplies on this one. 2008 stamp by Technique Tuesday, flourishes by Recollections, journal spot and we sticker by K and Co. Hope you have a great Wednesday. 

Hip Hop Super Star

These two layouts are fun and bright for a Thursday. 

The letter tags are by Current from eons ago along with the Stampin' Up dance  stamp and stars stamped with Pink Passion ink by SU too. Superstar sticker is by Jollee's/EK Success, floss by Coats and Clark and the the patterned paper is by Basic Grey.

When I started to put this book together I thought I would include layouts from my personal books that she was in the pictures of. At that time I was scrapping 8.5x11 and therefore had to adjust them to make 12x12 layouts. This is one of them where I didn't change anything to the smaller layout just added to make it the size I wanted and am using now. 

Supplies that I know of: pink & blue cardstock are by Sunborn as well as the title paper. Background paper by Basic Grey, stickers by Moxxie, mask and star punch by Creative Memories, mist by Tattered angels, font by Quickutz, glitter by Stamendous. 

Thanks for looking today. I hope Thursday is a great day for you:)

Some more Layouts

Here are a few more layouts I have been working on for my young ladies dance album. This will give her an idea of how much journaling she will need to do once she gets the book or before hand. *A note to her and her mom the words created by me in the bottom right corner will not be there. It's for online purposes only.

So this first page you won't need to journal on but 

This page you will write on the white paper with lines. The top page and this page, go side by side.

You will need to journal a little in the left bottom corner. This is the only layout of this dance.

You will need to write in the pink open box on this page and

on this page as well. Since this dance did so well I thought you may have a little bit more to write about. If not we can improvise and add something to those journal blocks. 

I hope you like what you see so far. There are so many more layouts in this book and I think it is turning out quite lovely. Look for more tomorrow.
