Midori Madness - Dance Edition Part 2

Today I am sharing the Midori I made for my son's Musical Theater class - they are doing a pirate piece called Hooks Revenge and it is awesome. I had bought some of this October Afternoon collection to do a page about Pirates of the Caribbean ride but decided to use it here instead.

I made the book and added some of the fun pirate embellishments and journaling cards.

This sticker was perfect for the inside cover.

Linden is playing Captain Hook and when he got his costume he loved it, especially the wig - I mean how can you not!

They did amazing at their first competition getting first in their division and top ten overall. So proud of these kids it's a hard dance and to be able to do that and sing and act at the same time is really hard.

They had a whale of a time at their fist competition.

I will be filming another video and doing the other books for this midoi although it's all ready looking pretty full so I might have to rethink it again sigh.  

Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Dance Mom Planner Pages #4

Here's another shot of my Dance Mom Planner Page for the costumes.  This is my son and his friend in their Musical Theatre costume - I love love love this number and the costumes.  I was a cheerleader growing up so this take me back :)

Don't forget you can get this Dance Mom Planner Page download for free just email me :)

I can't wait to see them do this number again.

Thanks for stopping by.

Dance Mom Planner Pages Part 3

I finally got my last Dance Mom pages made and printed.  My son also takes voice lessons and does a lot of recitals so I needed to add a specific page for that.

These pages are more for the recitals and more general things that is why I left lots of space for special notes.

I added some patterned paper, Dear Lizzy puffy heart stickers and Maggie Holmes resin flower to pretty them up.

If you are interested in adding these pages to your planner please send me a request and I will email the PDF for you to use for free.

More Dance Mom Planner Pages

I am trying hard to get all my Dance Mom planner pages done so I can get organized but it's funny how life always gets in the way.  

For these pages I printed out the email informaion by pasting it into a preset size template I created in Microsoft Publisher.  Then I printed them and added them to some patterned paper and added some Washi tape to pretty them up.

We also had our first competition and they did amazing.  First place for Musical Theatre and he competed against himself in Hip Hop and got first and third place.  All three routines made top ten overall for the whole competition and his Coed Hip Hip placed third overall.  So proud of him.

I love that I can document his whole year in one place and I am thinking of ordering another Color Crush Planner and turning it into a Dance Mom Mini Album at the end of the year and transferring all these pages as well as adding some photos and programs from the year.

Dance Mom Planner Page

I really wanted to get organized this year - what a perfect time for all these beautiful planners to be popular!  I loved the inserts that came with my Webster's Pages Color Crush Planner but I really wanted to have some very specific pages for my son's dance and couldn't find any that worked...so I ended up making some myself.

If you have a child or know a child that is in competitive dance you will know how all time consuming it can be, between classes, extra practices, recitals, on stage rehearsals, competitions, parades, and more recitals it seems like we live and breathe dance around here.  I wanted to keep track of all the information in my planner so it was handy all the time.

I created some Dance Mom pages that fit inside my Color Crush Planner and printed them out on thicker cardstock so I could add photos to them.  This is the first page I created and I will have one of these for each of the classes he is in (this year it's 5).  

It has space for the class information like date and time, instructor and music/name.  Then I created a space to list all the competitions he will have for each class.  The Company (or competitive) classes have to compete a minimum of three times but usually four times each).

I also wanted a space where I could add details of his costume and a photo of him dressed in each costume as a guide so when we pack up for recitals or competitions we have a reference point of what he is supposed to look like.  This costume is so awesome he loves the diamond sweats and plaid shirt and I love that he can wear it after dance is done for the year!

If you would like to have these pages to use in your planner please email me with your address and I will send you a PDF you can print out and use for free!

I am also working on several other pages that relate more to dance and soccer and other pages that will help me towards my goal of being organized.  If you have any suggestions or have any ideas please drop me an email.
