Alexa's first middle school orchestra concert was a few weeks ago. It's always fun to hear the whole orchestra play together when you've only heard your child practicing their part alone. I'm so proud of her and the poise and calm she showed before the concert. I don't think I was that pulled together before performing in front of an audience when I was her age. How about you?
Anyway, enough of the proud parent stuff. On to the layout...
This is pretty much all Little Yellow Bicycle Winterings with bits of Pink Paislee, Simple Stories, Doodlebug and October Afternoon. I sewed a pocket to the polka dot paper using a blue cardstock base layered with the striped paper. This allows the concert program to be easily removed at any time. I really love how the program looks as if it's part of the page design.
Have a great weekend! I'll be back next week.
What a great layout! I love all the elements you put together, and I just realized where you are from! I suspected the other day with the Eastman trees layout....I grew up in Penfield, small world, huh?
ReplyDeleteLove love love love this Lisa!! I loveeeeeeee the colors, the circle elements and loveeeeeeee how you added the program!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty layout! I love the colors.

No, I don't think I was ever calm or poised before a performance.
Usually the opposite in fact :)
Lovely lovely page. I love the colors and the fun layering. Especially the fun edging at the top.

ReplyDeleteLisa, this is gorgeous! I love the colors you used; they are very different for you. I noticed how the program really fit it. It's great how you made a pocket. I need to lift your page. Great photo of Alexa! Love "a string thing." :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as performing with a group, I was always just a tad nervous, simply because there was always a chance I might sing a wrong note or come in early and end up singing by myself! LOL
Nice colors. Love how you incorporated the program.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Lisa! Love the softness of the colours!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous page Lisa - both the photo and the layout! Love the color combo you used. So pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you included the program on your page! The school concerts were not nearly as nerve-wracking as piano recitals, lol!
ReplyDeleteI think Blogger at my comment before, so I'll try again...
ReplyDeleteI like how you made the program removable. It'll be fun for your family to look at it again and again in future years.
Awesome incorporation of the ephemera!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous. Love everything about it, especially how you incorporated the program into the layout with the pocket. So clever, Lisa! Beautiful pic of your daughter.
