March Virtual Crop class with Ann

Welcome to my March class with Vintage Artistry In The Leaves collection from 49 & Market.

I have made 3 layouts for you today using these wonderful papers and rub-ons (where there are so many to choose from!) and I hop you enjoy creating along with the (hopefully!) simple instructions available to download HERE.

Don't have the papers? Don't worry you can scraplift using your own papers and I can't wait to see your layouts in our Facebook gallery.

Happy scrapping and enjoy your Sunday

March Virtual crop with Tricia Sutherland

 

Good Morning campers!!!

I'll be getting stuck in to the 'Bee happy' range from Photoplay today!  These papers are gorgeously themed with bee and honeycomb motifs and buzzing with hot summer reds, yellows and some gorgeous teal blues.

The aim of the day it to take inspiration from the layered honeycombs to create dimensions and impact across all three pages!

The best part is they can be adapted to suit a range of outdoor themes from summer fields to concerts and much more and the pages coming in clashing prints you can really create impact using soft florals and 70's geometrics.  

The papers come with a selection of die cuts that cover a range of topic and some of the printed florals are begging to be fussy cut!  so click here to get your instructions and don't forget to join us over on the facebook page to share the results of the day!

March Virtual Crop Class with Karen Leahy

Good morning everyone, Dolly here with another virtual crop class for you, this time using the gorgeous Paige Evans Bungalow Lane. 

I love the quality of these papers and they have such a fabulous mix of geometirc shapes and florals that just work so well toegther. 

I have two class pages for you today and there is so much left over to play with. I have given you choices so that you really can use any of the papers in the kit for the background mounts on these two pages and still have lots left. It should give you a lot more flexibility in your choices to match whatever photos you use. 

 

This is one of the class pages this month 

 

 

As always please do share you pages in the facebook group so we can all enjoy them.

49 and Market Vintage Artistry Anywhere

We've been sent some beautiful papers this month from 49 and Market and if you haven't used this manufacturer before they are definitely worth a look at.  The papers are heavy, fabulous for distressing the edges of and adding ink too (I've not tried spritzing them yet but have added extra distress ink colour to them).  The embellishments you get with the collections are also gorgeous and I have been particularly impressed with the rub-on sheets....so impressed that my whole layout was pretty much based around one of the sheets!  You get 6 sheets in a back along with the tool for removing them from the backing - they go on beautifully and blend into the page.

I used the top right corner sheet for this page, it pulls lots of colours from the map papers in this collection and has lots of paint splatters around the edge, so this was the inspiration for my page.  

I started with 2 areas of blue distress ink, building up the colour and then use a Stampers Anonymous map stamp that I had and roughly stamped in a darker blue ink over the top.  I then went in with lots of splatters of different blue coloured ink and added on the rub-ons.  They are great as you can cut them apart, so I was careful to cut and adjust them so not too much was lost behind the photo and not on display!  The last bit was to add some gauze and I used (and gutted) one of the papers to go behind my white card stock....mainly as I had an accidental blue splodge in the corner of my white card and needed to make it look like a deliberate part of the design!

 

Here you can see the detail in the rub-ons, it has definitely gone up several levels since I last used them on my pages!

January 2022 Virtual crop with Tricia Sutherland

 

Good afternoon everyone 

I hope you have been enjoying the classes today.

In my class today I'll be using the lovely turquoise and lemon tones of the Lemon Twist collection from Simple stories!

These papers are great whether you have sunny shots from Sorrento, photos from a walk in nature or cheeky cocktail in the back garden during lockdown.

We'll be making use of the journal elements to create clusters and tearing up some papers to create textured backgrounds.  

So click here to get the instructions and don't forget to share your versions over on the facebook group.

January 2022 Virtual Crop Class with Tracy Annunziato

Happy New Year! it's not too late to say that right?  

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that 2022 is looking like it'll be a good one for you.

When I received these Vicki Boutin papers, with all the Christmas Themes, I was surprisingly inspired! I say surprisingly because historically, I do not scrap Christmas!  I know it's a strange thing for a memory keeper to say, but I rarely get photo's of Christmas, usually too wrapped up in the day, and I always struggle with inspiration when faced with snowmen, holly and nutcrackers!

But I was inspired immediately, knew exactly what I wanted to do with them and I really enjoyed the process. I hope you do too.

I can't wait to see your pages.

January 2022 Virtual class with Karen Leahy

 

Hello everyone and a belated Happy New Year to you all. I hope that 2022 is filled with health and happiness, love and laughter for all of you. 

The range of papers from Asuka Studios for this class are absolutely glorious. They are really lovely quality and they lend themselves so well to fussy cutting, which you know I love. This is a class showing how you don't need to have all of the extras but can create pages with just beautiful papers. 

 

There are three pages and still lots left over to play with later. 

This is one of the pages in the class 

 

 I hope that you enjoy the class and that youwill share your creations in our facebook group.
