Dance Recital

     I attended my 4 year old granddaughter's 1st ballet dance recital in July. I have to say there wasn't really much dancing going on, but there were no tears, so it registers high on the success scale -- even higher on the cuteness scale. I purchased the pink rose seen in the photos. At the end of the evening she said that the best part was the dancing and the flowers.



     I started with this sketch from Sketch N Scrap.



     I found this paper on Scrapbook.com. It seems that Echo Park has designed some mini paper collections for special activities like dance, baseball, football, etc. There are only three or four 2-sided papers and coordinating stickers in the kit. 
     As luck would have it, Elena was dressed as Cinderella, and one of the ephemera cards said, "Forget the glass slippers; this dancer wears ballet shoes." I placed this card in one of the photo spots. 
     The solid purple paper is old, old, old. I found it years ago at Joann's on clearance. I bought a bunch of it and it is almost gone. It has mulberry running through it, so it appears to be cloth.


 


     I added a removable tag. This is actually two stickers - one on top of another and matted on black. I used a white gel pen to write "1st" and "Recital" on the tag. I also added the date. 

 


     When you turn the tag over I added a pic of Elena immediately after the performance. 


     The title is a collage of Silhouette files. I had a fun time dressing up that ballerina teddy bear. I found the ribbon, butterflies and flowers in my stash.
