October Virtual Crop class 3 - Ann Freeman

A very warm welcome to my class today which I created from the gorgeous Simple Stories Pumpkin Spice collection - and yet there isn't a pumpkin in sight!!!

Instructions for my three layouts created can be downloaded free HERE.

If you are new to the virtual crop just click on the class link above, download the instructions and look at the images of the pages created. Most of the time you can replicate these with papers from your own collection and you don't have to have purchased a kit. Many Simple Stories collections have paper in a similar design format to those I used so maybe dig those out and play along. 

Have fun and thank you for joining in.

Not Getting the Whole Picture (or photo)

I thought I was ultra organised for my crop last Saturday.  I had all my photos on a memory stick to print out on the one hour service at Sainsburys whilst I indulged in a little breakfast and some essential shopping.  But no - it appears that Sainsburys have stopped printing photos.  Nevermind I thought I will go to Boots and use their machine, no again, it was out of order.

So what to do?  Buy a cheap note pad and cut the pages to the size of your photos.

I had a whole day scrapping without a single photo - five layouts made, four using Simple Stories Pumpkin Spice and Simple Stories Life in Color and one using Kaisercraft Provincial.  

I think I got more done that I would have if I had to find the perfect photo for the papers.

Have you ever scrapped a page without the photo to put on it?
