November Virtual Crop - Class 2 with Katherine

Hello Virtual Croppers!  I have 3 very Christmas-ish pages for you today.  You can add photos from previous years, or just leave spaces for them.  The pages are all fairly straight forward, there is a bit of tearing and I do use pretty much all of the green dot paper in these pages.  

For my 2nd page we create a torn border, you can change the elements as there are plenty of journal cards left over to choose from, so you can get one to match your photo.

My last page is a star wreath - and I think this is my favourite.  It's a really fun way to create a Christmas page with left over bits of paper - again lots of green, and there is some green on some of the journal cards if you need a bit more.

I hope you enjoy the class and join in and share any pages you make.

You can find the instructions here.

November Virtual Crop Class 1 with Karen

Hello, hello. Karen here up first for the November Virtual Crop.

This month I have three pages created with Bo Bunny's Provence range. If you don't have one of the kits you are still very welcome to join in using your own stash and make your own version of the pages.

Page 1 - Charming
I used the trees on this paper to reflect the trees in the background of my photograph - a typical one taken on my phone when I wasn't looking!

Layout 2 - Sleepy Head
The colours of the papers were perfect to scrap this photo of Kiera in the land of dreams.  I still neet to think of what I want to say on the journal card sticking out of the pocket.

Layout 3 - Wish
I loved the colours of this piece of patterned paper and it coordinated beautifully with a photo of Gracia blowing a dandelion clock.

The instructions for my class are here.

Hope you have a happy scrappy weekend and please share the pages you make on our Facebook page.

Katherine is up at 12 noon, as always I am excited to see what paintiness she has gotten up to.

November Scraplift Challenge

Hello, hello lovlies.

This month I have scraplifted a page from the October Gallery, by Jane, which can be found on the ATDML shop website on the right under Information.

I was inspired by Jane's beautiful layout '1998'.  I loved the clusters of element and the little pops of colour.

For my layout I used a larger photo and utalised the pattern on the paper at the bottom and right of my photo.  I substituted hearts for the triangles on the banner and made my clusters from stickers which I stuck to card before trimming and mounting on foam pads.

 

As always, I am really excited to see what you come up with this month.

Happy Scraplifting x

Giving Project Life the Chop

Hello, hello, Karen here with another project life post.

I was perusing Pinterest, as we all do, the other day and came across several project life pages where the designer had made a normal 12 x 12 page and then chopped it up and put it into a project life page protector.  An interesting but scary prospect.

I decided to take the plunge and designed a page, with the intention of chopping it up.  The backfilled hearts were cut on my Silhouette and I also used it for drawing the faux stitching.  Once I had backed them with patterned paper I added them to my page, along with a title and used a piece of white card to decide which pocket I was going to put my photo in.

I then went in for the kill - sliced my page into 7 pieces to fit into the pockets.  I had intended to add embellishments once I had put the pieces in the appropriate pockets but once it was made, I felt the only other thing it needed was a journaling card.

Will you be brave enough to chop up a layout to put into a project life page protector? If so please show it to us on the ATDML facebook page.
