Midori Catch Up

I posted a quick video on my channel today - a quick catch up on my Midori's. In my previous post I showed the completed Wizard of Oz Midori and I am almost done the Midori for my son's Into the Woods show. I am using a Midori from Love Neen on Etsy and I added a charm with my Epiphany Crafts Round Tool. I really love the black plus sign Midori I should have gotten two!

I did the same process with this book but it ended up only being one book as it was less shows and rehearsals than Wizard of Oz was. Linden auditioned in September 2015 and was his usual goofy self.

I won't go through too much detail with the photos or this post will be long! The rehearslas were once a week and were local so no long driving which was nice.

I volunteered to plan the Cast Party at the end of the show which was so much fun.

After Wizard of Oz ended it was time to focus on Into the Woods and after many rehearsals we finally got to tech week at Metro Theatre in Vancouver. It was a super cool location.

Tony did an amazing job with the sets, the trees moved around the stage - so cool!

I also offered to do the cast wall and made big trees out of black paper and added the photos to it.

Watching rehearsals was so much fun, I snuck as many photos as I could.

Tony was the only adult in the cast he played the wolf and was amazing.

When I saw Linden in his Rapunzel Prince costume I loved it. Finally it was show time, Linden was in 4 shows total over three days and nailed it every time.

The kids had a blast at the cast party.

Now it's all over another bitter-sweet moment for me.

Here is the link for the video on my YouTube channel please stop by and let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wizard of Oz Midori

I finally got the Wizard of Oz Midori for my son finished. There is nothing quite like knowing a project is complete. I think that's why I have always loved mini albums and now Midori's they are little treasure troves of pretty paper, cute embellishments, fun pictures and life!

I love this picture on the little charm I made, how cute are those Munchkins.

The cast had a Cabaret to celebrate how well the show was going. It was a blast.

Sneaking backstage to take photos of his costume rack.

They had a performance on New Years Eve so Linden and I got the kids noise makers, party hats and sparkling apple cider.  The last show was so bitter-sweet. 

A wind up cast party and the cutest gift from the Director Barb.

Look at all this goodness, I love the washi tape on the edges!

Into The Woods

Into the woods,

It's time to go,

I hate to leave,

I have to go.

Into the woods-

It's time, and so

I must begin my journey.

I have decided this year to make a Midori for each of my son's shows, I completed one for his Cinderella show last month and this month I am making one for his Into the Woods show. He is playing Rapunzel's Prince. I love the song Agony he has to sing, so funny!

I am using a beautiful black LoveNeen Dori from Etsy you can see her shop here https://www.etsy.com/shop/LoveNeen?page=1

I made a charm using my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 25 and coordinating charm.

I added a plastic folder from the Daiso store.

I made three inserts for inside the Midori, I love how this Crate Paper Wonder collection paper went perfectly with this dori.

Faux Fori Madness

This summer I definitely caught a little fauxdori madness.  If you don't know what a fauzdori is it's a traveller's notebook cover.  Usually the traditional Midoris are made from leather so the ones made from fabric or other materials are called Fauxdori. They are the perfect size for using as mini albums, journals, planners pretty much anything. I love them.  Here are a few I made over the summer.

This one I made as a notebook for my purse to write down ideas or notes on the go.

This one I made as a gift for a friend.

This one is a little travel journal. The fauzdori I bought from the Cakepaperie shop on Etsy.

You can see more about my Midori Madness on this quick video on my Youtube Channel.

Have you hopped on the Midori Madness wagon yet?

Thanks for stopping by.

Travel journal

I made another fauxdori to use as a travel album this summer.

This Life is a journey journalling card was perfect.

I left the inside pretty plain with just a quick title and sticker.
