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.

May virtual crop with Ann and Asuka Studios

Hello lovely crafty people - hope you are all feeling creative today.

I am sharing my VC class with you (instructions as always can be found in the Google Drive HERE with my file called 0525-Ann.pdf.)

I have created a couple of layouts to inspire and a minibook using the fabulous interactive elements which were cut from one of the papers and come with preprinted flaps!!

The papers are perfect for summer snaps or time in your garden with lots of vintage elements you can bring in.

Enjoy and hope you will share your creations with us on our ATDML Create Facebook page.

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 Class with Tracy

Happy Virtual Crop Day ATDMLers!  I hope you are having a good weekend, even if it has been mostly rainy and cold.  I for one CANNOT wait for the longer days and warmer weather to arrive.

I'm up first today with a class coming to you live from Sunny Wales, where I am away for the weekend scrapbooking with some dear friends ❤️ I really hope you enjoy this class and can't wait to see your versions.

Working with the absolutely stunning Prima Marketing Spring Abstract Collection, I was inspired by the wreath paper, and the pink inkiness that appears throughout the range. 

I've made 3 pages, that all come together really quickly, once the fiddly bit is out of the way!

I especially liked the chance to make a page featuring photo's with Rik over the years and it has sparked an idea for another page, or bigger project, to celebrate Freddie's 18th in May.

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 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! 🩷

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! 🦄🦄

August 2024 Virtual crop class 2 with Tricia

 

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Happy Sunday x

November Virtual Crop Class with Tracy Annunziato

First up today is a class which might appear to be for the coffee lovers out there, this P13 range certainly leans towards those who appreciate a nice rich Arabica roast, but we are going to make two layouts, only one features anything to do with a caffine hit!

I loved playing with these, and am definitely going to be creating more layouts using all the lovely left overs.

Your first page really showcases the bold navy stripes, whilst a bright white border around your photo makes sure it remains the focus of the page.

Your second page celebrates those blissful coffee moments, with an optional inky background and using the delicate white florals, to make sure the photo is always the star of the show!

I hope you enjoy these layouts, and really would love to see your versions, so don't forget to share in the Facebook group.
