Trick or Retreat Class 10 with Ann and Simple Stories I Am

You will be very pleased I am not going live with this class as by the time this is posted I will be likely half asleep (well harder to resist my bed at home than when I am away at retreat where I am known to be one of the night owls!)

I will leave you with my Class 10 layouts - a pair made using the extremely versatile Simple Stories I AM papers. Again these should be pretty easy to scraplift with your own papers too so please do join in even if you were not able to secure a class kit. Instructions can be downloaded from HERE.


That's it for tonight and day 2 of our Trick or Retreat event, but fear not, we are back tomorrow at 9am with Challenge #7 - Pumpkin Pie. Until then mwahahahahaha!!

Trick or Retreat Class 9 with Katherine

 


Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the classes so far.  I am missing being at the retreat with you all and hope you are all keeping well.  For my class it's time to dig out some travel photos and have a play with the Vintage Traveller range from Simple Stories.  Going with that vintage vibe I've also used plenty of brown ink and distressed the edge of almost every piece of paper!  There are 2 pages in this class, all multi-photo so you can tell a story about your adventures.


Do come and chat on Facebook and share your pages.  Don't forget to come back at 10pm for a late night class with Ann.

TRICK OR RETREAT CHALLENGE 6 - HAUNTED HOUSE

 

CHALLENGE 6 - HAUNTED HOUSE

For this challenge, nice and simple, you must feature a house or houses on your page.

This can be in the photograph, on the patterned paper, maybe stamped or an house embellishment. Please upload your challenge layout to Challenge 6 gallery on Facebook and then join us back here at 8pm for your next class with Katherine. 

See you then

TRICK OR RETREAT CLASS 8 WITH TRICIA


Good afternoon Campers 

I hope you are enjoying the Retreat so far and are getting the opportunity to take part in all the challenges too.  It's been lovely to see what has been created so far.

This class will be using Art Walk by Heidi Swapp to create pages with all the fun of painty effects with none of the mess.  



So grab your kit or chosen papers and click here to see the class instructions and don't forget to pop back for Katherine's Vintage Traveller class next!



Class 07 with Guest Designer Antonia Sturt-Hammond

What could be better for a 4pm class than Amy Tangerine’s Late Afternoon collection! When Mel asked if I’d like to design a class for the Trick or Retreat and showed me the beautiful papers, I was thrilled.

I love the bright, cheerful colours; such a tonic on a grey autumn day. The kit’s packed with vivid papers, pretty washi and a great, co-ordinated set of alphas. It would be perfect for fall photos, but I wanted to show the versatility of the papers and chose to avoid autumnal pictures.


I know we are all really fed up to be missing our second ATDML retreat of 2020 and are longing to get together to scrap again. Fingers crossed for 2021! In the meantime, I can’t wait to see your layouts……

Class 6 with Mel using Kaisercraft Grand Bazaar

 Welcome back to my second class of the weekend this time using the Kaisercraft Grand Bazaar collection. I was drawn to this collection as it offered the opportunity to create pages with lots to look at and a "collagey" appearance but with lots of the work done for you!

I made three pages for this class and you can find the instructions here.


Join us at 4pm for the next class which is the first of our two Guest Designer classes, this one is designed by Antonia Sturt-Hammond who has kindly designed our Friday bonus retreat class for the past couple of years which always goes down a treat!

TRICK OR RETREAT CHALLENGE 5 - GHOSTLY WHITE

 

CHALLENGE 5
GHOSTLY WHITE

This challenge we seek your white space layouts and a black and white photo.
At least 50% of your page must be empty of decoration, therefore 'white space' though this doesn't have to be white.

Your next class is with Mel at 2pm - see you then!
