Dancing Scrapbook Pages

 I’m taking a bit of a break from my usual art/craft activities, to work on my dancing granddaughter’s scrapbook.

This wonderful 11 year old is on the competition dance team and is also an “A” student in the gifted program in grade school. Her charm and grace make her grandparents very proud.

The competition team has performed in several venues throughout central Florida and received many awards for their outstanding dance numbers. Earlier this month the dance school ended the season with a great recital, showing off all the talent this school has to offer.

 This first set of pages to be done is from my granddaughter’s recital. I used my Cricut Gypsy to cut the words I made with the Billionaire Cricut Lite Cartridge. I love how this font looks and it is so easy to fuse the letters together into words. I chose not to overly embellish these pages, but to let the photos speak for themselves and my granddaughter's loveliness!

"The Nutcracker"

Do you love the ballet? Are you looking for a wonderful holiday show experience? You need to see "The Nutcracker!" If the "Dance Alive" professional dance company comes to a venue near you, it's a must see show. This innovative company comes to town before the show and auditions local young dance talent to fill in spots within "The Nutcracker." Those chosen practice their dances within their dance studios coming together the day before the performance to be directed by the pros from "Dance Alive" in rehearsal. The day of the show is another rehearsal and then comes the evening performance. Each local talent takes their place and helps to put on a wonderful creative experience for all to watch and enjoy. My granddaughter loved the experience and my husband and I enjoyed watching her and the whole show! What a super early Christmas gift!
