Hip Hop and Modern Dance Layout

Finally wrapping up the dances and costumes from the 2009 recital.  I haven’t even started the pages from the 2010 recital, yet the 2011 recital is only 2 months away.  I’ll never catch up, but that’s OK I guess.  Hoping I don’t run out of ideas too soon!

I used a few rub-ons on this layout too, and Stampin’ Up’s eyelet punch.  The colors are Stampin Up in colors from 2009/2010, Dusty Durango and Bermuda Bay.  Why do I use so much SU?  First I love the quality of the products, secondly, the fact that the cardstock, ribbon, markers, chalks, designer paper, and ink (which I only used for sponging on this layout) all match perfect.  I love Stampin Up!

A strange color combination I know, but my goal was to make the two costumes (I had remaining to scrap) work in a layout together.  The hip hop costume was busy enough, so I figured I could get away with solid cardstock and went that route for both sides of the layout, just reversing everything on the right page. I was extremely happy with the turnout!

Tap Dance Duet

DD chooses a solo to perform each year, and sometimes a duet also.  A friend asked her to dance to Madonna’s Material Girl, which turned out to be the cutest duet ever!  Making a layout as cute as the costumes and the dance was a challenge!
All paper is Stampin Up except for the black striped background on the left layout.  Initials “hlb” are Thickers, I’m not sure of the brand on the black and red polka-dot ribbons-I believe they are from JoAnn. 

Jazz Dance layout

I struggled with a layout for these Jazz dance photos – probably because my daughter truly hated the costume so much, I couldn’t get thru the mental block to create cute pages!  I ended up using black “bubbly” paper and leopard paper, both from Hobby Lobby, gold shimmery paper for the “Super Star” die cut, and real red from Stampin Up to mount the photos and Jazz title.  The leopard ribbon is just a spool from Walmart, the solid black ribbon and black brads are from Stampin Up.  I purchased the word “JAZZ” from www.laserline.com

Tap and Theater Dance Layout

Photos are backed in SU cardstock.  “Make Some Noise” is cut from Alphalicious.  Flowers on the Theater dance page are felt flowers from Stampin Up.  Reminisce dance stickers.  Glitter paper (pink) from CropChocolate.

Acrobat and Jazz Dance Layout

Pretty simple pages on this layout.  Tried to bring the "star" theme in on the left page, as it covers the background on the right page.  "Bend & Twist" is cut from Alphalicious, and I honestly don't remember what I cut the starts from (sorry). 

The lime green glitter paper is from CropChocolate, the striped and stars paper are both from Hobby Lobby. If you haven't tried CC, give them a try.  I've always had really good luck and great prices.  You may have to wait a while to find something you're interested in, and beware, it can be addictive!  https://www.cropchocolate.com/  It's basically a site that runs only 1 deal at a time, until that deal is gone, then a new offer is listed.  The nice thing, you can check out right away, or hold in your cart for up to 2 weeks and combine your shipping :)

Ballet Layout from 2009 Recital

DD spends most of her evenings in the dance studio, so scrapping dance photos is a must!  Purple paper used in this layout is from Hobby Lobby, and I found the grey and white paper on the internet.  Large "pearl" brads are from Oriental Trading, as well as the ribbon.  Silver shimmer paper is from Stampin Up.

Title is cut from Lyrical Letters.

Dance Recital Title Page

Cover page for 2009 Dance Recital album.  The card on the page showing all of DDs dances is what I made and handed out to our family/friends that attended the recital over the weekend.  The show is over 4 hours long, so a list like this helps them so they can leave the theater for a break in between the "important numbers"!

I mostly used rub-ons on this layout.  All paper and rub-ons are Stampin Up.  Paper is Old Olive DSP and Purely Pomegranite card stock (which was an in color at the time).

Dance Studio layouts - Hip Hop, Tumbling & Tap classes

When I scrapped my DDs 2009 recital and studio pictures, I decided to do  few extra pages of some photos I took during regular dance classes.
