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!

February Virtual Crop with Ann & Photoplay

Last but by no means least is your 3rd Virtual crop class today using Photoplay Wildflower Dreams. Patterned papers and a fun 12x12 sticker sheet form this kit which is super versatile to use for a many themes.

An option to bring a little stencilling in here with these lovely spring colours.

I hope you enjoy!

As always the instructions can be downloaded HERE.

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. 

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!

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 12 The one about Chandler Bing with Ann

Last class from me for this weekend and it is inspired by my favourite character from the show, the kind and funny Chandler Bing played by the late actor Matthew Perry. Chandler is always joking and funny in the seasons of the series and responsible for many of the one liners - often said to be his own add libbing to the script. On set he was also known for keeping up the spirit of his co-stars and just as funny when the camera wasn't rolling.

Inspired by this I have created pages based on fun times with friends for this class using Photoplay Let's Scrap collection. Instructions for my three layouts can be found here and you are encouraged to join in with your own supplies if you didn't grab a kit.

Join us again at 6pm for the next class, the penultimate one of the series.

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.

Class 2 The one about chef Monica with Ann

A warm hello from me for my first of three classes this weekend. The Simple Stories Domestic Bliss papers in the kit chosen for this class immediately made me think of the Friends character Monica and her job as a chef. And then I looked at the papers and they were more about keeping home than cooking but luckily Monica was also a home body, always cleaning and tidying so the collection still worked just as well!!

Instructions for Class 2 can be found HERE where I made 3 layouts including the one above and if you didn't grab a kit for this please do feel free to join in with your own papers and scraplift one or more of the class pages. 

We do ask that if you do scraplift you credit the designer when sharing to social media.

Next up is Days of our lives with Karen at 10pm and then we close the day with a second challenge at 11pm. 

June 2024 Virtual Crop with Ann and SS Just Beachy

I hope you enjoy the class - Tracy closes today's virtual crop with her class at 2pm. See you then!

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

January 2024 Virtual Crop with Ann and Photoplay

Happy 2024 to all our ATDML friends and welcome to your noon virtual crop class from me this chilly January.

At the start of each year I set myself a reading challenge for the year and try to record the books that I read on an app called Goodreads. I don't read all the time and can go a couple of months with no books but then may have a run of several weeks! Anyhow, imagine my delight to receive the wonderful Book Club papers from Photoplay for this month's virtual crop kit.

I have made two pages, both with a simple interactive element and I hope you enjoy them!

You can download your instructions here on the file saved as 0124-Ann, and if you are scrapping along with us this virtual crop day then you've only a couple of hours before your next class is posted with Mel. Enjoy!

November Virtual Crop Class with Ann Freeman

Well it has got quite chilly hasn't it? But you probably have a number of autumnal photos wrapped up warm, perhaps for harvesting/pumpkins or other outdoors photos or like me enjoying a wholesome and nourishing home cooked stew from a good friend.

My class pages today (and there are 3 of them!) use the fabulous American Crafts – Farmstead Harvest collection which is a versatile Autumnal range.

You can fussy cut the entire foliage paper whilst watching some TV as I use most of that on my pages..then lots of layering a smattering of stitching too.

Please share your pages if you have a play with this kit - I would love to see them.

The instructions, as always, can be found here.

Totally seasonal set of three layouts from me today for your noon virtual crop class this October (and you evern got an extra hour in bed for this thanks to the clocks changing today!)

I love these Bungalow Lane papers and you can make them stretch really far! I did however misplace my ephemera pack and only located it after I had made all the pages so you have plenty to embellish with if you were lucky enough to get a kit!
