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 Ann

Well today crept up on me rather so I apologise in advance for the brief instructions - but the pages are basic enough that I think you could make them just by looking at the pages!! (At least I am hoping so)

For those of you who didn't get the class kit feel free to scraplift using your own stash and do share with us on our Facebook group ATDML#CREATE.

I have made two pages today, the fabulous (!) instructions for which can be found here!

Enjoy and Tricia is up next at 2pm with your third class today. Happy Sunday!

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.

Simple Stories Vintage Great Escape

Every so often a collection comes out that just sings to your heart. In fairness most of the Simple Stories collections do but the new Great Escape really speaks to me. 

I love the natural colours, the beautiful tones, the leaves and toadstools and the wonderful phrases. 


I have had so much fun playing with it and want to share some of the pages with you 


I had fun doodling a border on this one 





 
 
I spent my 60th birthday photographing the big cats and I have to say Ngosi pictured here was one of my favourites and I got to hand feed him. 
 
 
 




This was a visit to the gorgeous Painted Desert in Arizona 



And closer to home - my favourite happy place - Poole Park 











Do check out the range in stores because it is utterly fabulous

Simple Stories Vintage Great Escape

I absolutely love an autumnal / woodland collection and was thrilled I got to work with the Simple Stories Vintage Great Escape this month.

I made a little project that I can keeping secret for now (as it is rather hoped I can teach it to retreat goers this Autumn) and two layouts.

Both layouts make use of the 2x2 paper which is the prefect format for little photos and to showcase the wonderful foliage on the papers.

Plenty of scope to combine some stamping in as well!

These papers are available now in the ATDML online Store.

Thank you all for joining us


Thank you all so much for your lovely kinds words this weekend and for joining us in another ATDML cybcercrop.

We hope you have enjoyed taking part as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. 

Please join me in thanking the ATDML team for all the support in ordering and packing kits, trips to the post office during lockdown, scheduling of blog posts, designing of layouts, writing of instructions and weekend participation. It is a lot of work but we always love putting these events together and thank you for taking part.

As a refresh here are the links to the six challenges we have put together this weekend and entries to share your pages in the correct galleries on our Facebook group are due by next Sunday at Noon to be in for a change to win at ATDML pin badge.

Challenge 1 - Key to the Door

Challenge 2 - Kitchen Appliances 

Challenge 3 - In The Attic

Challenge 4 - On the Wall

Challenge 5 - Outdoors In

Challenge 6 - Location Location



Class 15 - The Living Room with Kaisercraft Lily & Moss and Ann Freeman


And it's the end of your Cybercrop - do you have room for just one more class?
I have used the unusual colour combos of green & pink  in Kaisercraft Lily & Moss collection for this class.  Don’t you agree that some of the papers in the collection look like wallpaper? I have a wallpapered feature wall in my living room and hence I chose that room of the home for this class. 

Also the Living Room is the heart of the home I think, where everyone gathers, and that is reflected in my second layout. 


My final layout brings our House & Home cybcercrop to a close with a paper pieced house featured in the design. I hope you enjoy these and you can find the instructions to download for free just HERE.

Thank you all for joining our cybercrop. This wraps up the event but do keep sharing your pages with us - and remember entries for the challenges end next Sunday.
