Midori Madness - Dance Edition

This Midori Madness episode is all about dance. My youngest is in company/competitive dance (as seen on Dance Moms lol) and I wanted to make a Midori for all his competitions and just a place to hold all the amazing recitals and events that they do, These kids are like a little family and we both love hanging out with them and they push each other to be better.

You can see the video on my channel here -

I am using this super cute fabric Midori I bought from Love Neen on Etsy her Midori's are so beautiful and she also makes the cutest little key chains - I must get the Unicorn. The tassel is from Haute Pink Fluff on etsy and she make the most amazing tassels in all colors and sizes.

I am using this booklet I made with the Crate Paper Poolside collection for his Duo. This was the fist time Linden has been asked to compete with a Duo and he was very excited. The song is Stud and A Babe and it is perfect for him. He gets to play a nerd who turns into a stud who decides being a nerd is better.  Love it!

Lots of practicing and getting together a costumes and they were ready for their first performance at a retirement home.  They were a big hit and were treated to ice cream after the show,

They had a company recital for all the Solos/Duos and Trios competing this year and seeing them in full costume on stage was awesome. They killed it.

They had their first compeition and came first place in their division. So proud.

Come back next week and I will show you book two - the Pirate edition.

Star Wars - the countdown...5 days to go

Today is 5 days until Star Wars day (May 4th) and we are watching Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones tonight.  Here is a picture of my planner and some cute notebook I picked up at Target.

To complete this week I used more of the skinny Washi Tape in different colors and added the Bobba Fett and Storm Trooper stickers (and for you die hard Star Wars fans, yes I know it's not a clone trooper but I had to use what I had lol)

Stop by tomorrow for another episode of Star Wars - The countdown.

Creative Planner Part 2

Friday I showed you the fun dividers I made for my creative planner and today I am sharing a little on the inside of the planner and how I will be using it.

The monthly calendar I will schedule all my video and blog posts. I will probably add some Instagram and Facebook posts to this calendar as well.

The weekly pages will be more details of what I need to do that week.

These pages will be for goals and to dos.

This section will be for general ideas and things I can video.

I love this new setup and I am hoping it keeps me on top of my game.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy 17th Birthday to my first born love

Happy 17th Birthday Rhys - Love you buckets.

Plan With Me - Creative Planner

I decided to turn my light pink Color Crush Planner into a creative planner for myself. It will be used to write down ideas, plan videos and blog posts and keep myself on schedule,

You can see the video on how I created it on my channel today.

I wanted this planner to inspire me as soon as  open it so I am going to add some of my favorite things to the pages. I used the My Minds Eye On Trend 2 collection filled with beautiful colours and fun icons to make the dividers. I traced the old dividers onto patterned paper and cut them out.

I layered tags, die cuts, patterned paper and embellishments on each divider.

I will share rest of the inside pages Wednesday showing how I plan to use the inside pages and planner portion to keep myself on track.

Be Yourself

Here are some photos of the project I did for my last video using an American Crafts Clipboard and the On Trend 2 collection from My Minds Eye.

I love the colors and icons in this collection especially the cute flamingo.

I love using wood to embellish and this collection has some cute wood veneer pieces.

Friday Inspiration - Quotes

Welcome to another instalment of Inspiration Friday. Today Joy and I are taking our inspiration from quotes. I decided to make a decor piece for my craft room and wanted to use the fun On Trend 2 collection from My Minds Eye which is full of my favourite things.  My favourite colours, flamingos, pineapples, cactus, flowers and gold.

First I scoured Pinterest and found these fun quotes about flamingos:

I love this I might have to do a layout or Midori page and use it lol.

Yep - who gives a flock!

Love this one...

I settled on this one:

I used my American Crafts Clipboard as the backdrop and created this fun piece to hang up.

You can see the video showing how I created it on my channel here

Pineapple Love part 2

Here is the second project I made with my Pineapple stamp.

I stamped the image on wood discs to make a fun decor element for my office. I change this board out all the time with what is inspiring me at the moment.

I colored in the image with gel pens, markers, pencil crayons, gelato and more. You can see all of them on my video.

Totally loving how this turned out and it reminds me of California and Disneyland two of my favorite things. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the video showing how I created this fun decor.

Let's Get Creative

I have a new video series starting on my YouTube channel today called "Let's Get Creative". I am challenging myself to use my supplies in fun and creative ways. For my first video I am using this pineapple stamp from the Amy Tangerine Finders Keepers Collection and trying to use it three different ways.

I am not a stamper at all but I love this stamp (and all things pineapple right now) and wanted to think outside the box and come up with some fun ways to use it.  First up I used it as a stitching template and you could really do this with any stamp as long as it's not too detailed.

I stamped it on some kraft paper and then stitched the image using a simple back stitch for the top and outline then filling in the pineapple with french knots. I added them to this cute frame from Target filled with some cuties in their Stitch hats.

To see another pineapple project check back on my blog later this week.
