October Virtual Crop Class 1 with Mel using Wanderlust Explorer

 Hello and welcome to the first class of our Virtual Crop for October.

I got to work with the glorious Wanderlust Explorer from 49 & Market which was perfect for documenting our summer travels. I made three pages which will bookend my Japan trip album, two from our outbound journey and one for the return.

You can find the full instructions here on the google drive.

Don't forget to share your creations with us over on ATML # Create, we love to see what you have made with your kits whether you have followed the designs exactly or taken the kit and used it in an entirely different way.

Come back at 12 when it is Sheree's turn to share her class with you. 

August Virtual Crop with Mel

 Hi All, I am writing this in July about to head off on our trip to Japan, by the time this is posted I should be nearly on my way home!

As always find the instructions here on the 2025 Virtual Crops Google Drive Folder.

August virtual crop with Tricia and 49& Market

 Good morning all 

Welcome to the August Virtual crop! This month I've been playing about with 49& Market.  This range has a proper vintagey feel with a mix of neutral and pastel tones. 

The set is accompanied by a lovely set of stickers which are perfect for everything from titles, journalling or embellishments. The range is great for everyday subjects too - a walk in the park, a visit to a local market or just celebrating every day task.

So grab your photos and head here to get started and don't forget to share your versions over on the Facebook group.

July Virtual Crop with Ann and 49&M Wanderlust Explorer

 

Welcome to another virtual crop day with your ATDML design team. Once more we have three classes for you from myself, Cara and Tracy this month.

I'll start with three pages using 49 & Market Wanderlust Explorer, a travel themed collection with TONNES of laser cuts! I have made 3 layouts, one of which wasn't travel themed and makes the most of the ample floral elements.

I hope you enjoy the class, and you will have lots left to carry on creating after these pages.

Instructions as always can be found in our Drive folder - look for the files starting 0725.

March Virtual Crop Class with Ann & 49&M Rust and Revs

Happy Sunday from me and I hope this class finds you well wherever you are today.  

More 49&Market goodness from me today in this months virtual crop class kit.  There is a more masculine feel to this Rust & Revs collection but I have still used for a couple of silly selfies!  You might want to grab yourself some plain old boring silver paperclips for this class too as I feature 9 of  them on one of my pages (little glimpse of that below!!)

As always instructions can be found on our Google Drive folder HERE and we encourage you to upload your classes to our Facebook page Created by ATDML as well. My class is saved as 0325-Ann.pdf in the folder.

Enjoy!

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

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 

Class 11 Ross' Backpacking Story with Mel

 Hello and welcome to my last class of the weekend.  This one is named after Ross' Backpacking story because the products are travel and hiking themed - if you don't have any travel photos there are a variety of titles so you can always substitute the ones used to work with other photos.

In the instructions I explained how I made my collage photo block - you can however switch this out for one or two larger photos if you prefer.

We will make two layouts in this class - find the instructions HERE.

Don't forget to share your layouts on the ATDML # Create Facebook page. The designers love to see what you have made either with your kits or with your own stash, even if you have gone off on a different tangent we still love to see your take on a class.

Class 8 The one about academic Ross with Ann

 

Another class from me and this time all about the academic of the group of friends Ross.  With Academia from 49&Market in the kit for this class it was easy to make the connection to the show for me (and again you don't have to have seen the show or have the kit to join in)

I have created several pages for this class, 2 academia themed and 2 visiting outdoor places which I hope inspire you to play along, either with the kit, your own 49&M Academia papers or something else. Instructions can be found HERE.

Next up is Tracy at 10pm with her class inspired by Phoebe's triplets.

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.

January Virtual Crop with Mel using 49 & Market Nature Study

 Welcome to the final class of the day. I got to work with 49 & Market Nature Study which was such a treat. I ADORE 49 & Market products anyway but this particular collection really works well for such a wide range of photos. In the end I used photos from our 2022 trip to Canada and of course the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies works great with this range however I love that it is one of those collections that works just as well for photos take in my local park or on a walk through the UK countryside!

I made two layouts for this class, the first is here:

To get the full instructions and see the other layout take a trip over to our 2024 Google Drive folder and look for the file labelled 0124-Mel (as a reminder the format is month year teacher: mmyy-teacher

Don't forget to share your versions over on ATDML # Create, our teachers work really hard creating lovely pages for you and they really do enjoy seeing what has been made whether you followed the instructions to the letter or went off on a completely different direction with it.

Dearly beloved, a warm welcome this blessed Sunday from Reverend Green - my busiest day of the week don't you know!!

My second cybercrop class uses 49 & Market papers to create a pair of layouts making the most of the fabulous ephemera packs included in the class kit. Lots of layering, lots of texture and some interactive elements too.

You can join in with your own stash and take inspiration from the class pages which can be found HERE or follow along the instructions to create the class exactly as I did.

October Virtual Crop Class - Vintage Artistry In the Leaves with Katherine

 This class uses the gorgeous In the Leaves papers from 49 and Market and it is perfect for Autumnal photos or landscape pictures.  There are loads of gorgeous elements in the kit to play with, from the rub-ons to the laser cut ephemera.  In the class we make 3 layouts, the first starts with creating inky backgrounds and co-ordinating the rub-ons, the next layering and the last using the papers as a base and accenting them with the die-cut laser pieces.

I hope you enjoy creating your pages as much as I did.  Please find a link to the class here.

 

October Virtual crop class by Karen Leahy

 Hello everyone, Dolly here.

I hope you all had a wonderful summer and coped better with the heat and the dry than I did. I am very much a winter girl, though I could easily be swayed into summer by the bright summery colours of the gorgeous kit for this class. The stunning 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Mango papers are stunning and a joy to play with. 

The class has three pages for you - all quite simple and I hope you enjoy creating them. You will; have loads left over too. 

This is one of the three pages. 

Find the instructions here. 

I hope you will share what you create in our facebook group. 

Have fun everyone x

Class 9 - The Lake with Karen

 

Hello again everyone, Dolly back for the last class for today. I hope you have had fun playing along and chatting today with all the super classes and challenges. 

This 9th class uses the fabulous 49th and Market Shore papers, die cuts and rub ons and it is such an awesome collection. 

Needless to say it is watery themed, but water can mean anything (but the class is inspired by The Lake in the film with the famous dance lift practice scenes between Johnnie and Baby)

I have three pages for you to create and still lots of bits left over for other projetcts. 

This is one of the pages 

 

As always we would love to see what you come up with so do share your pages in the facebook group. 

You can find the instructions here and we will then see you back in the morning for another Kellerman's cybercrop challenge. 

June Virtual crop class 2 with Tricia

 

Good afternoon campers!

And welcome to your second class of the day and I'm hoping with all the good weather we have been having you have made it over to the beach (or popped the sprinklers on :) 

The 49 & beach range is full of pastel shades and blue skies along with some fabulous nautical accents.  They are perfect for some lovely sunny day photos and I've teamed the up with some gorgeous glossy epoxy stickers with some fab features.

On top of that if you have some glossy accents and some string grab those too to add extra zing to the layouts and stretch your kits to 3 layouts.  We'll be using glossy accent to create water droplets and and splashes across all three pages for a subtle touch.

Click here to see the instructions.

Hope you all have a lovely day and don't forget to add your version to the facebook gallery and to pop back at 2pm to see what Ann has been up to.

March Virtual Crop class with Ann

Don't have the papers? Don't worry you can scraplift using your own papers and I can't wait to see your layouts in our Facebook gallery.

Happy scrapping and enjoy your Sunday

49 and Market Vintage Artistry Anywhere

We've been sent some beautiful papers this month from 49 and Market and if you haven't used this manufacturer before they are definitely worth a look at.  The papers are heavy, fabulous for distressing the edges of and adding ink too (I've not tried spritzing them yet but have added extra distress ink colour to them).  The embellishments you get with the collections are also gorgeous and I have been particularly impressed with the rub-on sheets....so impressed that my whole layout was pretty much based around one of the sheets!  You get 6 sheets in a back along with the tool for removing them from the backing - they go on beautifully and blend into the page.

I used the top right corner sheet for this page, it pulls lots of colours from the map papers in this collection and has lots of paint splatters around the edge, so this was the inspiration for my page.  

I started with 2 areas of blue distress ink, building up the colour and then use a Stampers Anonymous map stamp that I had and roughly stamped in a darker blue ink over the top.  I then went in with lots of splatters of different blue coloured ink and added on the rub-ons.  They are great as you can cut them apart, so I was careful to cut and adjust them so not too much was lost behind the photo and not on display!  The last bit was to add some gauze and I used (and gutted) one of the papers to go behind my white card stock....mainly as I had an accidental blue splodge in the corner of my white card and needed to make it look like a deliberate part of the design!

 

Here you can see the detail in the rub-ons, it has definitely gone up several levels since I last used them on my pages!
