Now that she is older, well there aren't as many silly stories to share so I have decided to focus more on just sharing my creative projects and maybe share a few things here and there. So if you are not into the creative stuff, well, you don't know what you are missing, but I won't blame you if you decide not to keep reading.
So like I mentioned a few months ago, I have still been crafting away and have made a LOT of layouts to share and a few cards here and there as well to share with you.
So this was my first layout where I used a cut file with my Cricut machine. I am slowly learning how to use it and have found a lot more ways to incorporate into future layouts I will share. I love the film strips that allow me to include A LOT of small photos of all the different scenes from the play.
Hope played one of the orphans in the Spring Break production of Annie at the DSM Playhouse.
I typically don't do a scrapbook page for every event during a school year and instead make a two page layout covering as many events as I can. This is one of those layout covering Hope's 5th grade memories.
Hope had some fun in the back yard snowboarding over Christmas break.
For the past 3 years, Hope has attended the Dorian Music camp and had a blast. At the end of the week they have a concert for all the students to show the skils and songs they learned over the past week. We also learned that her cell phone reception was not good and so we didn't hear from her all week. We assumed if there were issued the camp would call us.
The first year Hope was just learning the ropes of the deep traditions of this camp. So for her second year, she couldn't wait to participate in Orange Day. The students dress up in crazy costumes and at the evening assembly, they crown an orange king and queen. Well, as we purchased her costume I tried to tamper her excitement that she was SURE she was going to win, because, well...there are over 300 students and there was no way to know what the competition would be wearing.
Well, there was no need for that because...SHE WON! She was so excited and called to tell us that night. She didn't send us any pictures of her in the costume, but we did get some off the camp website of the crowning ceremony and Hope wearing her costume during class. Hint...she is the one in the orange hair, orange shirt and orange tutu. LOL!
The other fun thing about her second year was that the theme was Harry Potter!
Here is another DSM Playhouse production. Hope had a few different parts: salesman, farmer and one of the kids in the band (she got to "play" the drum).
On a crafty note...this layout was using some older stash items. It always feels good to use up older items.
Showchoir was one event that I did decide to showcase on its own since I had a lot of pictures I wanted to include.
As the title says, this was another 3-day class Hope took over Christmas Break at DSM Playhouse.
This was an old picture I found in a pile that I had never scrapbooked, so I decided to finally get it on a page and I also got to use some new and old stash items.
And this was always one of my favorite pictures of a family photo session we had when Hope was 2. I never scrapbooked it on a layout (I did use it in a tiny mini album), but I think since it was my favorite I wanted the layout to be special. Well, I guess I finally found the right paper collection to use to create this layout.
Ok, if you made it this far, well, thanks for sticking with me. I still have a lot more crafty items to share so keep an eye out...you never know when I will be back. LOL!
