January 2025 Virtual Crop with Mel

 Hello and welcome to the last class of the January 2025 Virtual Crop. This class gave me a nice chance to look back at some of our favourite memories from Christmas and get some of them scrapped. For some reason I am terrible about getting my festive photos scrapped... I think it is because by the time I get around to printing them I am not feeling at all Christmassy so this class gave me a bit of a push to get them done.

I've made three layouts with this kit although when I came to add the blog post I realised that one of them is a similar concept to one of Debs' from last month but who doesn't love a circle bauble layout?!

Your instructions can be found HERE in the 2025 Virtual Crop Google Drive Folder

Don't forget to share your layouts over on the ATDML # Create Facebook Page!

January Virtual Crop class with Ann

On such a blustery chilly day my pages may well make you feel even colder, so wrap up warm before you read on!

A lovely mix of wintery patterened papers and diecut elements in cool tones make up the kit for this class but the layouts are nice and simple and easy to pull together.

If you were lucky enought to get some snow earlier this month or indeed have been away somewhere snowy the snowflake elements will be perfect - or just capture the start of 2025 as it was chilly (at least where I am!).  No kit no bother, these layouts are great for scraplifting to to inspire the start of your page.

As always your instructions and the three layout images I made can be found in our Drive folder.

Don't forget the left overs from this class will make wonderful elements for your January Calendar pages if you are playing along with that again in 2025.

Enjoy my class, and Mel rounds up our virtual crop class today at 2pm. 

January 2025 Virtual Crop Class with Tracy

Happy New Year!  I'm allowed to say that this plate in January for two reasons, 1) I've not seen most of you yet this year, and 2) I'm up first for your January Virtual Crop!

I hope you have had a fine start to 2025, and have lots of fun times booked in throughout the year to play with pretty paper, and spend making memories with good friends!

I've designed this months class using Vicki Boutin papers.  Who doesn't love a bit of VbB to brighten their January up?

My first layout features an interesting cut, that I think looks really striking on paper, but it did turn out to be a wee bit complicated to explain in the instructions, so I've included some diagrams and measurements, which I hope make some sense!

 The second layout includes a bit of getting messy (but not that messy, I promise).  I used white gesso to tone down the background paper, so my photo and the elements could pop.  Yes that's a pic of me (and Rik) circa 2001 with braids down to my thighs! haha

The last layout uses up some more of the ephemera, but there is tons of paper and ephemera left for you to continue playing!

The instructions for all three layouts in the class are in the shiny new VC 2025 folder in the google drive, which is here 

Don't forget we love to see your layouts, so please snap a pic and share in the facebook group! 🩷

December virtual Crop Class with Debs

 Seasons greeting all, hope you are all happy and warmth and enjoying the festivities with those closest to you.

We'll be creating super simple pages in this final class, using Photoplay's Holly & Ivy collection. The aim is to get your festive photos off your phone/camera and into your scrapbook.

Instructions can be found here.  Please pop into the ATDML#Create FB group to share your layouts with us - we love seeing your take on the classes.

December Virtual Crop Class with Mel

 Hello everyone and welcome to my December virtual crop class. I hope all of you have had a lovely festive period and are looking forward to 2025.

My class created two layouts with the beautiful Viken from 49 & Market. Although this isn't a christmas collection it feels like it could work well with winter photos however my pictures are a summer graduation and a holiday photo from Croatia!

You can find the instructions in our google drive folder for 2024 Virtual crop instructions - the file is 1224-Mel (MonthYear-Teacher).

 

Come back at 2pm when Debs will be here with her class.

Wishing you all the very best for a happy and healthy 2025 xxx

December V|irtual Crop Class with Ann

Happy December to you all and hoping you had a fun, festive time. My class today is perfect to scrap those seasonal memories from 2024 or another year and features papers from Simple Stories and a whopping ephemera pack! I have made 3 pages but you've plenty to create more. I plan on adding my photos to the photo mounts on the pages as I designed these earlier in December ready to add pictures from this year.

You can find the istructions on the Google Drive LINK HERE and if you don't have the kit then scraplift along with your own papers.

Enjoy!

November Virtual Crop Class, with Tracy

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a better Sunday than me!  I've had a niggling cold all week, but Friday evening it decided to turn into a horrible chesty cough & head cold thing... so I'm really sorry for the delay in today's instructions. 

I had such a lot of fun making these layouts for you whilst visiting my Welsh Girls, and gate crashing their crop, to celebrate my birthday! 😁

I love P13 for the fussy cutting opportunities, but also because they always push me outside my comfort zones!  These papers have got some beautiful busy swirly patterns matches with maps and old stuff.

And then balanced completely with lots of leafy florals, and the odd bug or two!

Influenced just slightly by our Flick's love of Fussy Cutting, I particularly love the Bond Girls Layout! 😍 

The instructions for all three layouts in the class are in google drives, but you can use this quick link  

Don't forget we love to see your layouts, so please share on the facebook group! 🩷
