December 2020 Virtual Crop Class 2 with Mel

 Hello everyone and welcome to my final Virtual Crop class of the year. I can't say that 2020 has been a great year overall but one of the good things has been the way our scrapping community has come together to make the isolated days a little brighter.

I knew I had this wintery kit to use this month so I was really pleased at the start of the month when we had a flurry of snow and I could get some photos of Olivia in the snow. She was pleased as it was her first day of isolation as a contact of someone with covid so there was no school for her and she could get out into the garden for a quick play before online lessons started!

My Timehop App that very same day came up with the photos I had taken exactly a decade previously of the girls in the snow so I decided to do a "Then and Now" style page.

Come back at 2pm to see what Tricia has made with her kt.

November VC Class by Guest Designer Helen Howden

Helen has previously done some guest DT work for us and we love her style (and her amazing handwriting) so we were very happy when she kindly agreed to put together a class for us working with the Crafternoon collection from Kaisercraft. 

She has made a whopping FIVE layouts from her kit which featured papers and the versatile stickers from this collection.

Click Here to see the full instructions and the other four pages she made. Don't forget to share your creations on the ATDML # Create Facebook page and join us again at 2pm When Debs will be sharing her class.

August Virtual crop Class with Tricia

 

Good morning campers!

Today I'll be working with Cocoa Vanilla's 'Make a wish range, full of pinks and blues they make a perfect pastel mix to match your sugary sweet cake photos. 

With lockdown now covering a few months there's the opportunity to record a different type of birthday or why not take this opportunity to pull out some older photos and give them the justice they deserve.  The papers come with a great mix of texts which is not only good for birthdays but can sneak onto pages that celebrate other occasions or just brilliant days.

So grab your kit or choice of papers and click here to download the instructions.

August Virtual Crop Class with Karen

 Good morning everyone and welcome to another class, this time using utterly gorgeous Pink Paislee Truly Grateful papers. 

I love this range of papers as they are really versatile and I totally love the fact there is a word sheet inc the collection that makes titles an absolute breeze. 

The kit was absolutely stuffed with loveliness and so there are three class pages plus you will have loads and loads left over for other projects. 

This is just one of the class pages I have for you 

I hope that when you play along you will post your pages in our facebook group and I can't wait to see what you create. 

You can find the class instructions HERE.

June Virtual crop class 3 with Tricia

Good afternoon campers 

Welcome to class three of today's Virtual crop.  

In this class today I'll be using Pink fresh 'Be you' range to create layers and a focus on geometric design and subtle titles.  The papers are full of tiled accents and nods to spring days so perfect for any photos that you may have taken recently.  I made use of the tiled feature in my second layout to accent some photos I took on my last Visit to Rome.

The first layout is based around a (socially distanced) walk I recently took with my Nephew. You can click here to head over to the instructions and see the 2nd layout.  

Don't forget to add your version over on the ATDML # Create Facebook page, we love seeing what you get up to.

June Virtual Crop Class 2 with Mel Hand

Hi Everyone and welcome to my class for the June Virtual Crop. This kit was great for some older summery photos that I hadn't got around to scrapping and I had a great time working with it.

The first layout is below and to see the second layout and to download the instructions you can click here.

Don't forget to share your creations over on the ATDML # Create Facebook page, we love seeing your interpretations of the class.

June Virtual Class by Karen Leahy

Hi everyone and I hope June is being kind to you all.
I am delighted to bring you a class with the beautiful Bo Bunny Sweet Moments papers. I love the colour in this range, though using it made me crave cake and sweeties!

The class has three pages for you to create and this is one of them.

I hope you enjoy the class and manage to stay away from the sweets (I failed miserably!)


As always you can find the instructions here

May Virtual Crop Class 5 with Ann

And last but by no means least is your 5th class for this month from yours truly using the scrumptious Heidi Swapp Honey and Spice papers. Combining these floral papers with black and white papers makes for a great combination.

I have made three layouts for you but with an extra sheet of white card or two there is plenty left for a couple more pages.

Instructions for the class can be downloaded here and I look forward to seeing your pages fill up the gallery on our Facebook page.

May Virtual crop - Class 4 With Tricia

Good afternoon campers

I hope you are all enjoying this bumper Virtual crop weekend!!

For my class today I'll be using the Pink Paislee '5th and Monaco" range.  This range is fabulously eclectic with decadent accents and touches of gold.  I love the wood accents and bold floral prints. 

In the class we will be making use of the different patterns to clash and match, and creating layers that work together to give depth and interest.

Each layout involves creating slices of the paper as features as well as reconstruction some of the die cut embellishments to make them work harder.

You can find the instructions for all the layouts here.

I hope you have enjoyed all the classes and challenges so far this weekend, do come over and share what you have been up to on the ATDML # Create Facebook Page but don't forget to pop  back at 4pm for the last class of the weekend with Ann :)

Happy scrapping!

May 2020 Virtual crop class 3 with Karen

Hello everyone - Dolly here with another class for you using gorgeous Pink Paislee papers that are so fresh and vibrant and totally lovely.

The class has instructions for three pages and there are loads and loads of things left over for you too - so I am guessing you will get at least another two pages from it.

This is one of the class pages

I hope that you enjoy the class and that you will share your pages to our facebook group.

You can find the instructions for the class here. Do come back and join us at 1pm for Tricia's class.

May Virtual Crop Class 2 with Katherine

Hello everyone, here is my class - there are 2 layouts in this one and here are a couple of sneaks of the pages. 

You can find the pictures and instructions HERE.

 There are some beautiful puffy stickers and lovely pastel rainbow colours in the papers.  I have edited out some of the pink in the papers so you can make the pages work for all members of the family, whether they are into pink or not (and if they love pink then leave more in)!  I hope you enjoy the class as much as I enjoyed creating the pages.

As always, do post your pages and join in the chatter on our Facebook page.

Join us tomorrow morning at 10am for our next class with Karen

May Bumper Virtual Crop Class 1 with Mel

Hello everyone! After the success of last months mini cyber crop we wanted to offer you a little bit more than our usual 3 class virtual crop format as we know that many of you are enduring challenging times during lockdown and for some scrapping provides some much needed escapism.

I hope you enjoy the classes and challenges we have for you today and tomorrow and we kick off with my class using the gorgeous Vicki Boutin "Let's Wander" collection. This was due to be a retreat class and I thoroughly enjoyed making the FOUR pages you can get from the kit. As the name suggests it is a travel page but I'm hoping memories of trips from the past will make you smile a little as we plan for future trips when circumstances allow. You could adapt the projects to suit non travel pages by amending your ephemera choice and the pages could certainly work for days out and exploring themed pages.

Here are two of the layouts, the full instructions and pictures of all four layouts can be found HERE.

Do join us over on the ATDML # Create Facebook page for challenges and chat and to share your class pages.

Come back at 7pm for Katherine's class.

Class 4 with Mel

Hello and welcome to my class for this impromptu cybercrop! I must say again how grateful we all are to the lovely Design Team who have pulled this together in order to ensure that you  all have some scrappy fun to cheer you up during lockdown and, for those of you who were due to join us at the retreat, chase away the postponed retreat blues.

My class uses the lovely Vicki Boutin Wildflower and Honey collection although I am looking forward to seeing your interpretations if you are working with  another collection. I hope the ideas and designs will be transferrable across and can't wait to see what you come up with.

This is the first layout from the class and some details and sneak peeks of the other pages. To download the full instructions click HERE

I hope you enjoy the class, please do take the time to share your layouts into the appropriate album on our facebook group. For those of you who recently joined us you will find that it is a friendly welcoming place and we love to see what you all make.

March Virtual Crop Class 3 with Mel

Hello and welcome to the last of our March Virtual Crop classes. I hope you have enjoyed the two classes earlier from Ann and Tricia.

For this class I worked with the beautiful Cocoa Vanilla Wild at Heart. I made three layouts with the kit and thoroughly enjoyed using this range to show case some fun summery photos.

For instructions for all three layouts click here.

Do come over to the ATDML # Create Facebook page to share what you have been working on.

Next month we will have a very special bumper Virtual Crop with SIX classes and kits will be on sale earlier than usual so please do keep an eye on our facebook page for info on that.

February Virtual Crop Class 3 with Mel

Hello and welcome to the last class of todays virtual crop. This month I was working with the Bo Bunny Faith range and, as with the Believe range I  loved the colours and was keen to show that we are no always constrained to use papers based on their intended them. Neither of my pages are faith themed and I hope you will see how with a little creativity these can be used by anyone to showcase photos on a wide range of themes,

Here is one of my pages, for the other page and full instructions click here.

Do come over to the ATDML # Create Facebook Page to share your layouts either from the Virtual Crop or the scraplift challenge or even just what you have been working on this week.

February Virtual Class by Karen Leahy

Welcome to another virtual crop and I have three pages for you in my class today.

The kit contains some gorgeous papers from the Graphic 45 Princess collection and. as always with Graphic 45, the papers are double sided and super thick and lush.

They are very heavily patterned and themed but I wanted to show in the class how such papers can be really versatile too and so the three pages are very different in style. Sometimes papers which are very themed and patterned can be daunting - hopefully this class will show you they can be flexible.

This is just one of the pages from the class and once you download the instructions you will see pictures and instructions for all three pages.

If you haven't bought the kit you can, of course, play along with your own papers too.

You can download the full instructions HERE and please do upload what you create to our facebook Gallery HERE

January Virtual Crop Class with Mel

Hi everyone and welcome to my first Virtual Crop class of 2020. I hope the new year is treating you well and that somewhere in amongst all the new years resolutions, health kicks and general newness you are finding time to scrap!

My kit used papers from Bo Bunny Petal Lane and I made three layouts with the kit, one of them is a bit of a wild card layout as it uses a completely different colour palette to the other layouts! It will also give you a chance to break out your mixed media supplies, crayons, watercolours, inks, sprays and mists will all work on layout 2.

Here is the first layout, I wanted to try something different so decided to go for an Art Deco style fan shape rather than regular rectangular layers!

Here is a sneak peek of the second layout. To see the three layouts in full and to download the instructions click HERE.

Please do share your creations (whether with our kit or with your own stash) over on the ATDML # Create Facebook page. We love to see what you have been working on.

January Virtual Crop Class "Snow Patrol" with Ann

Well this is certainly a wintery Sunday morning for those of you waking up to frozen windscreens and more than a chill in the air! Our first virtual crop class of 2020 brings you two layouts using Simple Stories "Snow Patrol" papers perfect for your winter/frosty photos so if you don't have any to hand, wrap up warm and get out there to take some!

As always instructions for this class, featuring two layouts, can be downloaded free HERE and if you didn't get a kit including the Snow Patrol papers do not worry, you can just scraplift my designs and make pages with your own papers. Please share these to our Facebook gallery if you do - we love seeing what you have made.

Tricia is up next at noon with her class for January. Enjoy
