My daughter has been dancing since she was just 5 years old
and I have tried over the years to scrapbook each of the groups and solo dances
she has learnt and competed with. This
year is her last with the under 10s groups and it was fun to pull all the
wonderful photos of one of her song and tap group – “elegance” taken over a 3
year period and prepare this layout.
I wanted the layout to be a bit grungy, similar to the
costuming and song. Molossi had supplied
me with a chipboard park bench as part of my September kit and immediately my
thoughts were to use it to replicate the photo of my daughter in this
dance. The chipboard fence from Molossi
also fitted well with the layout and gave it the “English” feel which suited
the song.
I sponged white paint onto both the chipboard pieces and
sprayed some bubblegum glimmermist onto the fence to pull in the pink tones I
had used with the papers.
The background was just a grey cardstock with a Crafter’s
Workshop chicken mesh template and black ink used to give the background
effect. Some raw cardboard torn and
added in on either sides, a few rolled flowers created with a Sizzix die and
some leaves and flourishes also cut from dies , a Molossi padlock with twine
through it and a couple of punched buttons completed the embellishment
cluster.
Of course the journaling is always important on these pages,
documenting the journey – on the back of the pages I keep a record of each of
the placings the group has received during the time they have been performing
it.
Thanks for dropping by.
