I Brake for Graduating Ballerinas!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a slightly unorthodox graduation card with you.

My daughter's best "dance" friend graduated last week and we went to her party last night.

I used Half Sheet Ballerina.
If you act fast there are a couple of these sets on overstock so they're on sale.

I thought the verse in this set was perfect for a young girl heading off to college.  She wants to be an occupational therapist.  Go Ally!

We met Ally and her mom when they transferred to Makena's dance studio.  We all became fast friends and they did several duos and trios together each year for about 6 yrs.

On the inside I used another image from the half sheet and also the phrase

Happy Graduation.

I used some Stickles on her tutu to give her lots of sparkle.

The girls duet...No the moms didn't plan our outfits along with them but it made for a fun picture!

I Brake for Perfect Moments and Chrysanthemums!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a card meant to inspire.

I've been wanting to use this black and white dotted paper and started thumbing through my I Brake for Stamps index book.

I came across NOVEMBER CHRYSANTHEMUM - JUMBO.

I haven't used that one in a while and for some reason instantly thought pink and black.

I also used the verse from HALF SHEET BALLERINA.

I Brake for Beautiful Ballerinas!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a Dutch Fold card that I made using a ballerina that can be found 3 ways at I Brake for Stamps.

ELEGANT BALLERINA

HALF SHEET BALLERINA

FULL SHEET BALLERINA, FLOWERS and NUMBERS

I have the full sheet because let's face it...they're all awesome stamps and I had to have them all.

I have a few types of cards that are my favorite to make.  I love masculine cards, nautical, funny and dance.  I'm not a dancer but my daughter was for 14 years. She just graduated and is heading off to college.  She doesn't plan to dance at this point.  She wants to get settled in and see how things go.  I'm hoping she'll take it back up though because she has such a talent.  I'd love to see her up on stage again.

As I said...she's heading off to college in just a few weeks. Please don't judge!!  This is the card that I plan to send her for Valentine's Day with a little care package.  Yes, I'm planning that far ahead.

I use Timehop for my social media and it just popped up that 4 years ago she got her first pair of Pointe shoes and that she was going to wear them out before her summer workshop even started. Her final Pointe dance this year was nothing like the beautiful ballerina you see here.  They did a Tango!  Yes, a tango.  It was amazing!

I haven't done anything to the inside of the card yet.  If I were to fill it out right now I might embarrass her...insert mom with "ugly crying face" here!

I Brake for Circles!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing 2 thank you cards that I made for people/organizations that gave my daughter scholarships at her Senior Awards.

I've used

Half Sheet Ballerina  and a verse from Half Sheet Numbers and Flowers from I Brake for Stamps.

I colored all the little circles with Copic markers and then highlighted them with two different shades of Stickles.

There are little dots around the ring and I placed a rhinestone in varying sizes on each one.

The insides are both blank right now but I will stamp a simple thank you and my daughter can write a personal note to each person.
