December colour challenge


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

and I hope you are not seeing this TODAY but rather catching up after your Christmas, but the fourth Wednesday this month happens to fall on Christmas Day itself. So I set this up to be ready for you when your festivities are over.

I hope you all had a wonderful time and so I have a palette this month to help you scrap some of those Christmas photos in traditional tones.



If you do get some of your Christmas pictures scrapped using this palette I would love you to share them in the album on our facebook page here 


Now, back to that Turkey and a little bit of Christmas cake I think!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's almost upon us and it is definitely starting to look a lot like Christmas here.

 I have been playing with Simple Stories Christmas papers this month and have two pages to share with different collections.
This first page uses Simple Stories Country Christmas which I think may be my favourite Christmas collection ever.








And this is a more traditional Christmas range - Simple Stories Vintage Christmas




I hope your Christmas preparations are going well. Do go check out these papers int he store.

December Virtual Crop Class with Ann and Claus & Co


Come join me today and get your festive cheer on with this wonderfully seasonal class where I have made two layouts, a home decor frame and a minibook from one of my favourite kits ever! 

Both layouts I made in under an hour so you have plenty of time to fit this in over the holidays if you don't have the time today.

As always instructions are available to download HERE. I hope you enjoy getting in the spirt of the season with this one! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Scrappy last virtual crop day/class for 2019.






December Virtual Crop - Katherine with Websters Pages Royal Christmas

Hello everyone and wishing you and your families all a super Christmas.


I've made 3 pages with the kit for you (here is the first) - all quite straight forward as it's a busy time of year....you can add some flicks of paint if you wish but it is totally optional.  The pages are all made from a 6" pad so could easily be adapted to a non-Christmas theme too - even the holly wreath...think flowers or stars or gears - the possibilities are endless!

I hope you enjoy creating, do as always share your creations over on our Facebook page ATDML#Create as we would love to see them.



Merry Christmas.

December Virtual Crop class by Karen Leahy

Happy December everyone and I hope all of your preparations are well in hand and that you are taking time to just enjoy December as well as planning madly.

I am so pleased to bring you a class this month with the gorgeous Graphic 45 Christmas Magic Collection. The papers are such fabulous quality and totally lush so get those scissors at the ready (you know me - there will almost always be some fussy cutting) and I hope you enjoy the class. There are three layouts in the class and this is just one of them.


Click Here for your full instructions and the other two layouts

Come back at 12pm and 2pm for our other two festive classes and don't forget to pop over to the ATDML # Create Facebook page to share what you have been up to.

Autumn Splendour

IHi Everyone - Dolly here.
I was so lucky to visit New England in the fall again this year and the colours were spectacular.

I found the Simple Stories Autumn Splendour papers just perfect for scrapping the photos.
Like all Simple Stories collections, these papers are double sided and great quality plus there are journalling blocks and cut up sheets which is great for scrapping quickly.

This first page showcases the fabulous colours we saw along the road. I had great fun with the fussy cutting too.



 The gorgeous pumpkin papers were perfect for scrapping a cool sight in a local Starbucks in Wisconsin. They had put two 'grateful pumpkins' on the bar for people to sign and add their thankfulness too - such a cute idea.



and this page uses more of the range to capture fall colours, albeit not natural but put together, in San Diego in the Old Town Market.



Do go and check out the papers int he store. They are really beautiful.
