This is my song for today 😀 It is from Veggie Tale’s-and is called the Busy, Busy song
Archibald (Mayor): I’m busy, busy, dreadfully busy
You’ve no idea what I have to do.
Busy, busy, shockingly busy
Much, much too busy for you.
Larry: Oh, I see.
Archibald and Doctor: We’re busy, busy, dreadfully busy
You’ve no idea what we have to do.
Busy, busy, shockingly busy
Much, much too busy for you.
‘Cause we’re busy, busy, frightfully busy
More than a bumblebee, more than an ant.
Busy, busy, horribly busy
We’d love to help, but we can’t!
I love that song! LOL!
April 4th-and it is snowing right now.
Do you believe that? WHERE is Spring? Did she forget she had somewhere to be? This is just insane.
I’m in such a happy mood today-despite the SNOW (blech!). I have my nice HOT cup of Keuirg brewed Dunkin Donut’s coffee-yum ( also love Gloria Jeans Butter Toffee, Cinnamon Mocha, and French Vanilla -note: I am not usually a flavored coffee person).
I got the Wedding invites/RSVP’s DONE!! I made a few boo-boo’s so I do have to buy a few more supplies and make like 10 more-but I see the light at then end of the tunnel.
I made another onesie bouquet for my friend (more on that later-and yes a tutorial for you to do your own).
Im the Featured Crafter today on Craft’s on a Whim! ………………….. Thanks Andi :D, and I am ahead on my End of the Year-Thank You gift for Amber’s Dance teacher!!
Since I am sure many of you have kids in Dance, and the end of the year is coming up, I thought I would share my gift for Amber’s Dance teacher today!
Here it is!
7 Ballerina’s Dancing. That is how many girls are in Amber’s class. I wanted to do something special that she could save, yet was dance related. When I saw the Ballerina & saying, from LAD, I knew it would make the PERFECT gift! I am also giving her, her own Ballerina stamp & sentiment, since she is a stamper as well.
I “thought”, very briefly, on letting each girl sign under the ballerina’s, but the frame is so cute, I just cant bring myself to do it! LOL! They are, afterall only 3-4 years old! maybe I’ll let them sign the back!! LOL! Is that awful or what.
I bought a “floating” frame-which is just 2 pieces of glass, that you sandwich your “photos” in. I loved the look, so wanted to use that idea.
Here is a side view
I decided to use this year’s recital costume to make my ballerina’s Tutu costume colors, as well as copy the flowers they are wearing in their hair, on the side. I used adhesive flower rhinestones.
Here is a close up view
The Tutu’s are pink/purple and each girls hair piece on this alter’s from pink, purple, pink, purple………as well as altered the hair color from blonde to brown.
The Tutu’s have dazzling diamonds on them, so this really shimmers.I had this paper by K & co in my stash, and it matched the girls costume’s perfectly. I think and hope she will like this. Heck I wanted to keep it! LOL! How cute would this be (even a single one) stamped/colored/framed in a girls room? LOVE IT.
Well that is all for today. As I said I’m “busy, busy”. I need to get some projects done today-so wish me luck, and mojo! LOL!
Hope you come back tomorrow for my Saturday Sketch!!! Its going to be a fun one.
Till then

Aaaaaaaghhhhh!! Oh my word, Lauren!!! This is GORGEOUS!! Where on earth do you find the time?? Do you sleep???
Oh and PS. I LOOOOOOOOOVE that song too!!!!
This is AWESOME…I just had these stamps out last night to make a card for one of Shannon’s freinds…I love them 🙂
Oh my she is going to just LOVE this, very cute idea, great coloring!
Sooooooo cute! What an awesome gift, and NO, I would not let those girls sign the front either!LOL! Glad your wedding invites are coming along. I JUST finished my cousins favors for her wedding like 10 minutes ago! The wedding is tomorrow at 6:00!!! YEAH! I am cutting it a wee bit close, don’t ya think? I’m doing the “I finally finished that project” dance as we speak! Have a great weekend Lauren:)
I forgot to ask…. Is the sentiment and bow on top of the glass or between both pieces of glasses?
This may sound funny. And I know your not a big scrapbooker but I had a idea of a page or picture you should take. You and Amber dancing. Amber in her tutu. I think that’s how it’s spelt. And you could use the stamp and just journal it. Simple but I thought you might want to try it. Or is your daughter a scrapbooker? Well send me a message if she is I have a great book to show you that my sister made me with an old pair of jeans.

That frame is so cute. Me thinks Amber needs one for her room 🙂 Oh how I want to feel better so I can have the energy to stamp. OH well, back on the couch I go. -Molly B
Its in between the glass
Oh my gosh, this is beautiful Lauren – what a wonderful gift, it’s so fun & cute.
Oh my goodness, the dance teacher is going to LOVE this! How sweet, and how special…WOW! I love the little flowers in their hair, and the sentiment is so perfect!
I need to hear that “busy song”, I love Veggie Tales but it’s been so long since I’ve seen them!
Have a great day, and a fun weekend! 😀
OH see I’m a mushy kind of person so I would sooo cry if I got that!! its soo beautiful you are soo awesome 🙂 TFS!
This is adorable! She will love it! Love all the great things you share! Thank you
Laurie
Beyond adorable! Awesome job as always!
you ROCK!!!!!!!! you need to put all your creations (and patterns) together and sell an e-book! i want one!!! lisa k
Too cute, Lauren! I need to pull my ballerina out now!I havent been able to be online for a couple days and I feel I’ve been gone a month.You are soooo busy! I love all of it!Kris
Oh Lauren this is so cute! It makes me wish my girls were taking ballet this year. Hey, girls it’s time to sign you up for ballet classes because Mommy wants to make one of these for your teacher!
This is beautiful! I hate you for getting your gift done so early LOL! Miss Diane will love this!
I’m ordering coffee this weekend – I’ll re-stock your supply!
GREAT song, it’s so appropriate for today’s moms. If you have time check out juliebrooksdesigns she has an awesome song to share called A Moms Overture by Anite Renfroe, it is hilarious.
What an excellent gift! I love, love, love what you’ve done and I don’t blame you for wanting to keep it. I think you are very smart not to let the front be signed because little “sweeties” that age tend to print VERY large, one name could have taken up all the white space, LOL.
I think Mother Nature is on vacation in the Caribbean!
Have a HAPPY weekend.
What a great gift! I didn’t know about this stamp. Every year I struggle for dance teacher (and my daughter’s) gift at recital time. My LSS has a limited supply of dance stamps/toe shoes. I’m ordering this today, and probably case’ing it! Thanks so much! Jeanne
Oh..my..word…….I love all these little ballerina’s Wonderful card…my daughter stopped dancing once she hit high school (after 10 years) because there was no way she could continue doing both dance and school sports like she had been. I miss it, and yet again I don’t. Her dance training has done her a lot of good for jumping at the net in volleyball. LOL. Joan
Hey Lauren!
Didn’t you know that one of the definitions for MOM is busy?!?! (hee hee) 🙂
Very cute card.
What a precious gift – she will treasure this I’m sure!
OMG! Get out of my head Lauren!! My older daughter (4 1/2) takes dance also and at class this week the idea to make altered frames for some of her dance friends popped into my head. I ordered the ballerina and saying on Wednesday and bought one of the huge MME pads from Hobby Lobby for the frames. I LOVE your frame! Much cuter than mine will be, for sure! TFS!
Very cute! She’ll love this gift!
I’m going to have the song stuck in my head all day now!!! LOL!!! I just love Veggie Tales and those silly songs are addicting! Card is adorable too.
That little frame is too cute! I can understand why you don’t want the kids to sign, LOL!! 😀 I think it is perfect as is, but if you wanted to personalize it more you could always stamp the name of the ballerinas under each one (with your cool papertrey alphabet, LOL) and add the year in the right hand corner… But I think the way it is she can put it up and keep it up in her danse studios for years to come!♥…
Adorable, Lauren! I have all boys, but I would love this!
I have that Veggie Tale tape and find myself singing that song LOTS! Funny how you just get a song stuck in your head… and when it’s appropriate, you sing it all day long!
Love the frame and the teacher will too, I’m sure! It’s darling!
Wishing you lots of luck and mojo getting your ‘stuff’ done and have a wonderful, fantastic and fun weekend!
Huggles!
too stinkin’ cute for words, Lauren!!! seriously – that teacher is going to swoon over it – how adorable.
Ohhhh, where is my hairbrus….ohhhh, where is my hair brush…lol, I love when larry sings that song. IT’s sooo funny. I adore this little project, how cute is that….I so, would not let the kids sign the front, so don’t worry it’s not “bad” at all!!!
This is adorable!! She is going to love it. You are so thoughtful.
Now that song is stuck in my head! Oh well, I like the vegies. For my 18th birthday my husband (we weren’t married yet) bought me 6 vegie videos, a veggie tshirt, a veggie diary, etc! And that show was one of them. Oh, the memories!
I love your dance teacher gift. You have the best ideas! She will definitely love it, no doubt!
That is so awesome! I love that ballerina, that is such a great gift. Congrats on getting through the invites. And for Crafts on a Whim. I was featured a few weeks ago and Andi was so awesome to chat with. She has a great site.
This is so beautiful, she’s going to luv it! Great idea as always girl!
Wow you people up there in NH certainly have gotten more thatn enough snow this year, I’m sure your anxious for Spring & sunshine! We’ve just been getting a lot of rain here in Massachusetts, not too much snow this year, I’m glad about that though. Have a great weekend!
Hello,
I just have a question, I’ve looked up the difference on copic markers and su markers (I have su) and I now believe that I really need some copic markers to do or try to color in things like you …. is there a set you would advise me to buy??? Thanks, em
Oh my gosh…what a fabulous gift!! It’s perfect!! (I agree…sign the back kids. 😉
What a gorgeous frame! So beautifully done! Thanks so much for sharing! 😀
Love love love this project! I have so many friends with little girls in ballet class…will be forwarding this one!
What a beautiful gift.
You are so talented.
This is cute as can be!The instructor will love it.Is the frame custom ordered or available in a store?Thanks!
OMG Lauren this is so cute!! Out comes the wallet again! I had to have “Out of this world”, and “Once upon a time” after seeing your creations, and now I just have to have this cute ballerina as well. I have a little boy, so I never buy “girlie” stamps but my nieces who are dance freak would love a gift like this! Keep up the great work!
So cute, Lauren! I just saw another sample at All that Scraps that you made using Lucky and the presents. Can you tell me who makes the brown paper that looks like it has sprinkles all over it? Thanks
Hi Lauren. Again you rock!
BTW, how did you do the oval she is dancing on?
Holy cuteness Lauren! No way would I be letting a bunch of four year olds near this thing with PENS! *gasp*
Oh my gosh Lauren, this is absolutely adorable!!!!!
oh my goodness! this is SO STINKIN’ CUTE!!! Dance teacher will LOOOOOOOOVE it!
[…] may remember the Ballerina frame, I made for Amber’s dance teacher. Well, this is the card that will accompany the frame when […]
