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! 🩷

November Virtual Crop Class with Prima and Ann

 Welcome to a very wild and windy Virtual Crop Sunday!

I have created two pages today using Prima Magnolia Blooms which has some lovely foiled elements. Instructions for those of you with kits can be found on the google drive folder https://drive.google.com/.../1Sx5nMYJpeJO5zb3aI9f.../view...

Please feel free to play along with your own stash and scraplift or take inspiration from elements as I think many of us may chose to stay inside and craft today!!

September Virtual Crop Class with Tracy

 Well hello there!  As you may know, I started a new job earlier in the year, and it meant my summer was a little crazy! So it's been a hot minute (three months) since I done a Virtual Crop class for you. It meant I got to play with these beautiful autumn papers from American Crafts!

In this class we make three layouts, that come together really quickly, I hope you enjoy them.

But I didn't just focus on Autumn photos, so I hope this class highlights that you can sometimes rebel against the seasonal themes!

You'll find your instructions here. I hope you enjoy the class, and I am very much looking forward to seeing some of you in person at the Autumn Retreat next month!  I hear there might be a couple of visitors too! 🦄🦄

September Virtual Crop class with Ann

Happy Sunday lovely people.

Let's pack our bags and head off to explore the 49 & Market travel collection elements in this fabulous kit.  I've made 3 layouts to inspire you with plenty of options to vary up to suit different photo sizes.

Instructions have been loaded to the usual Google Drive folder HERE under 0924 Ann.pdf.

I'd love to see your pages if you play along and especially if you change it up and do something different. Share on our Facebook page 

September Virtua Crop Class 1 with Mel

 Hello and welcome to the first class of our September Virtual Crop. I had a kit with embellishments from Bo Bunnys Beautiful Things range combined with papers from mixed manufacturers. I made two quite different layouts, one with a pastel colour palette contrasting with black elements and the other with a more masculine palette of greys with some green and orangey reds.

Find the instructions HERE - I hope you enjoy the layouts, don't forget to share your creations with us on the facebook page.

August 2024 Virtual crop class 2 with Tricia

 

Good Morning all and welcome to my class in this month's Virtual crop.

I was thrilled to get to play around with Simple stories 'Pack your bags'.  It’s such a fun colourful range with lovely travel motifs and a collection that will let you create your own clusters of embellishments in the layouts to suit your photos.

The dual sides of the papers will also allow you to flip your options and the range of double sided tags have cute edges to compliment your colours.

So lets get going click here and we'll get started, don't forget to share your layouts over on facebook!

June 2024 Virtul Crop Class with Tracy.

Your final class of the day is here!  We are going to have a little fun with inks on a paper that already has glossy elements, which we will use to do a very easy ink relief technique, that adds colour to the papers!  

We make two pages, one busy inky one, and a nice classy minimal page, which both showcase your watery, beachy photos (or maybe, like me, you know someone who has a cute seal pic you can steal)

 I really hope you have a lot of fun with this one, just like I did.

Get your Instructions from the google drive, and don't forget to share your pages in the facebook group.

May 2024 Virtual Crop Class with Ann

Your final May VC class is from American Crafts Cedar House papers which include a lovely herringbone paper which reminded me of school hall floors when I was growing up! The colours are very neutral in this collection which means you can bring in pops of colour with your photo, or using the fabulouse ephemera pack included.

I have made 3 layouts for you which do feature the majority of the fussy cut flowers from the Wild Roses paper so grab yourself a cuppa and some scissors and start with that paper if you don't have the time to do lots today!

Instructions are on this drive Instructions are on this drive - the file called 0524-Ann.pdf

Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend (UK) and see you back here next month for more Virtual Crop inspiration from your Design Team and maybe even news of a summer cybercrop too!!

May 24 Virtual crop class with Tricia

Good Morning everyone and welcome to May's Virtual crop.

Today I'm making the most of the great weather we have had/are having/hope to have*

* delete as appropriate ;0) 

For my first layout I'll be visiting the seaside for a walk and combining sandy tones and blues with a pop of sunshine orange.  I've used these fab acetate elements to create my own personalised negative strips to accompany my main photo.  I've also used the gorgeous newspaper style paper for a nod to seaside fish and chips too.

For the second layout I'll be creating a shuttered look, I wanted to give the look of garden fences and peeking out through the window shutters out to the garden.  We'll be breaking down and reforming an image to make the most of the incredible design.

So if you are ready click here and head over the folder for todays classes.

March Virtual Crop Class with Mel

 Good afternoon and welcome to the final class of today's virtual crop.

For my class I worked with the Bella Blvd To The Moon collection in combination with 49 & Market Sunburst. I always enjoy working "beyond the theme" of a collection and making it work for unexpected types of pages and this distinctly little boy themed collection from Bella Blvd worked great on my travel and Disney themed pages,

One of the layouts is here:

and you can see the second and download the full instructions from our 2024 Virtual Crop Google Drive folder HERE.

February 2024 Virtual Crop Class with Tracy

Hello folks, welcome to your next class on what I hope is a slightly dryer day that what we've had all week!

This quirky range from Carta Bella might seem a little retro, when the kit arrived I considered hanging out at the De Havilland Museum up the road, and waiting for a mustachioed pilot with a leather aviation jacket with sheep skin trim to turn up... 

Alas, last time I was there I didn't see one person dressed like this (shocking!), so instead I delved into my photo album for photos of my own bearded traveller!  

I ended up having a lot of fun with the 6x6 pad in this kit, and having two sheets of the cut apart paper, meant I could use the ledger side as a back ground and still have loads of elements to make pages with.

Throughout the three pages in this class, we get a little inky, a little airmail, and finish it off with a nice tidy grid layout.

You can find the instructions for this class in the google drive HERE. 

I hope you enjoy the class, and can't wait to see your creations.  Please do share them with us.
