Class 2 - CATAN with Katherine

Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the crop.

Here is my first class (your second - check out Ann's if you missed it) and I chose the game Catan - so a small introduction to it incase you haven't played it....it is all about building settlements, trade and strategy and is a family favourite in our house.  On top of that you can buy all sorts of expansion games and make it as complicated or as simple as you like.  

The inspiration for my page came from the board, the Catan board is made up of hexagonal squares, and you create your island with them, and it is then surrounded by sea....so here are my hexagons and a wash of blue sea around the edge.

My first page is a double page, and you also get to make a single page too.  I used white gesso and some distress inks for my watercolours - but you could use any water based ink/paint and any white paint for the base - equally if you don't feel confident doing the painty bits then just do the pages without them!

Anyway enough waffling, on with the classes...you can find the link to the class HERE.

Do share your pages, we love to see them and you can find the gallery here.

Your first challenge is up at 10pm and then the classes start again tomorrow morning with a challenge at 8am and then Jane's class at 9am.

Class 1 - CONNECT 4 with Ann

Welcome to your first class of the weekend - Connect 4 taught by Ann.

There are three layouts to create, all nice and simple for a gentle start to your Cybercrop. Don't worry if you don't have the kit papers, just grab what you do have and get involved!

We have an album on Facebook for you to share the pages you make inspired by the classes and we'd love to see what you do.

Pop on to this LINK to download your free instructions for this page and two others and get your cybercrop weekend started. Your next class is CATAN at 9pm with Katherine followed by your first challenge at 10pm. See you then

Cybercrop Photo requirements Part 1

Not long to go now and we have set out some photo measurements and numbers below. Don't be overly concerned about these, they are mostly guidelines and once you see each class you will probably adapt to suit the photos you have to hand.

Mel"s classes

Class 5 Frustration. 
LO 1: One 3x4" Portrait Photo (I used the title Adventure so you could pick a photo that works with that title but there are alternative options) 
LO 2: Three 3x4" portrait photos that will be trimmed a tiny bit. 

Class 10 Monopoly.
LO 1: Four 2" square photos. Could accommodate additional mini photos if needed.
LO 2: One 4x6" Portrait Photo. This layout features animals, mine is themed around the movie Jumanji but it would work for zoo \ wildlife park type photos.

Class 15 Trivial Pursuits.
LO 1: two photos which will be trimmed into triangular shapes - I just used some 6x4's that were not too closely cropped. This layout could accommodate additional small photos as well.
LO 2: one 6x4" photo.
Both layouts use friendship based titles.

Katherine's classes

Class 2 - Catan 6
LO1 - 6 portrait 3 by 4"s
LO2 - 6 by 4 landscape.
If you want to do the painty parts - white gesso/acrylic, cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, tumbled glass, tea dye and fossilised amber distress inks - (blues, teals,greens, brown and dull yellow watercolours). Masking tape, old store card.

Class 8 - Ticket to Ride
LO1 - 4" square
LO2 - 3 2" square (trimmed to be 1 3/4" by 2").
If you want to do the painty part - I used fossilised amber, fired brick and broken china distress inks (dull yellow, red and blue watercolour).

Ann's classes

Class 1 Connect 4.
LO1 one 4" square photo
LO2 two 4" square photos
LO3 one 4x6 portrait photo though landscape would also work (page would require minimal adaptations)

Class 7 Zoo-opoly
This is a minibook class and photos can be added later. You will need three bookings for this class (not in the kit) plus sanding tool for the edges (cheap emery boards work well)

Class 12 Jenga
LO1 one 4"x5" portrait photo
LO2  one 4"x6" portrait photo
(works best if photos are of people to make the most of the papers)

Jane's classes

Class 3 Guess who
All 2"x3" photos - I used 10 landscape and 2 portrait but more or fewer could be used.

Class 13 Imaginarium - no photos needed

Photos for Debbie's and Tricia"s classes will follow.
