Day 14: Spring Recital Scrapbook Page

Tonight (while running into the other room to watch parts of the Miss America Pageant), I made the companion page to my daughter's dance page. In this photo, she and my son are pictured. He had a tumbling routine to perform and this photo was one taken of the two of them together. Since they both had yellow in their costumes, I chose three papers in So Saffron from the Tea Party Designer Paper Series by Stampin' Up! The base page had a large airy white floral print. On top of that I layered a paper with pale purple and saffron flowers. This helped to tie in the purple tones on my daughter's page completed yesterday. The mat for the photo had white polka dots, which echoed the polka dots on my daughter's outfit. I placed the photo on top, adhering it with clear photo corners by Pioneer. In the upper left and lower right corners, I placed purple metal photo corners from The Paper Studio. Since this photo is horizontal, I left a space at the bottom of the page for a title. I used a hodge podge of pale letters to create my title. I added a flower I made from green, purple, and pink silk flowers and secured with a pink glitter brad to the center of the title. The flower tied in to the one my daughter was wearing in her hair and also carried over the colors from the facing page.

Day 13: Beautiful Dancer Scrapbook Page

My daughter was in a dance recital and her costume was a pale green sheer material. To match it, I chose papers from Tea Party Designer Paper Collection by Stampin' Up! I used patterns of varying sizes so the eye would not be overwhelmed by all the variety of papers. I selected a paper with a green background with a small pink and yellow flower design for the base of the page. Using a die-cut paper I had, I traced around it and cut out a die-cut shape from a pink paper with white flowers. I layered the pink die-cut on top of the green base. Then I cut a rectangle from a pale purple paper with purple, yellow, and pink flowers as the mat for my daughter's photo, and layered that atop the pink die-cut. I attached the photo with clear photo corners by Pioneer. I used two pink metal photo corners by The Paper Studio in the bottom left and upper right corners of the photo. I cut two pink flowers from another of the coordinating papers, then layered a silk green and a silk pink flower on top of each, and secured the layers with a pink glimmer brad. I liked how the silk flowers carried on the light and airy feeling of my daughter's dress. I attached one flower in the upper left corner of the photo and the other flower in the bottom right corner of the photo. And that is how I created a scrapbook page for my beautiful dancer.
