Another little confession on the paper craft line. I justify this one because its like the paper models I made in the past. I got the idea from a paper craft magazine I get. I thought it would be fun to make something pretty for Valentine’s Day, especially since I have cabin fever so bad. I sat cutting out hearts on Sunday while the snow fell.

I recently had the Brooklyn Book Binder, a friend of Mark and mine, make me a custom photo album for all of my ballet photos. Ever since I started scrapbooking (yes I keep that a well guarded secret!), I have wanted to do a ballet album. A book of ballet, to me, deserves to be very classy though, not cheesy at all. I tossed around a few ideas in my head and soon realized, I wanted a book that was very unique. After looking around Maggie’s website and tossing a couple of ideas around, she and I came up with the idea of putting the pointe shoe ribbons into the cover. Maggie set to work and has shipped my book complete with Freed European Pink pointe shoe ribbon (the exact ribbon I used on my shoes)!
Here are a couple of pictures she sent to me:
