Dance Teacher and Staff Appreciation Card

Quilled ballet shoe with quilled flowers

Since being home with my son who is sick, I took a few minutes to put together the card for the dance studio.

I used 1/8th width quilling paper for the pointe shoe, rose, leaves, borders, and flower. The words I just printed out using Microsoft Works and for the polka dot paper, I used some scrapbook paper and scalloped edge scissors.

Dancer Teacher poem on quilled card

On the inside of the card, I used a poem called "Eyes Upon A Dance Teacher" from this website http://www.angelfire.com/oh2/chezsarah/bpoems.html . It is a site that has a lot of dance teacher poems. I changed it by taking out the reference to a "little girl" to make it less "little girl" since my daughter has gotten older. There are some great poems on this site.

Quilled Pointe Shoe

My daughter took Pointe this year at dance and being the end of the year, I wanted to make a special thank you card for the staff. I drew the outline for the shoe and then filled the spaces with 1/8 width quilling paper.
