Happy Sunday to you all and I hope you have carved out some creative time for yourself today to join in our virtual crop. My layouts this month combine the lovely Fernwood papers from Vicki Boutin with a couple of vintage treats from Simple Stories and Basic Grey.

November Virtual Crop class with Ann
November Virtual Crop class with Tracy
Hi, Tracy here! I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday, and are feeling creative! I've got two nice easy pages for you, that draw the eye to the photograph and would work with almost any subjects.
I love Pinkfresh, and working with the 6x6 pad of papers in this range meant I was able to bring lots of patters together on one page, whilst still keeping a balance of whitespace so it doesn't feel crowded.
There are loads of options when it comes to the sentiments and elements in the Ephemera and there's even some extra choice on one of the papers, with cut apart elements.
If you were at Retreat last month and tried your hand at "hand written titles" this is a perfect opportunity to add that little bit extra to your page with one.
I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to seeing your versions in the facebook group.

November virtual crop class with Karen Leahy
Hi Everyone, Dolly here with a very simple but fun class today using the gorgeous Enchanted Papers from Memory Place and the Prima Stickers.
I have made three class pages although the last one I have called a bonus page as it is pretty much already done as soon as you get your papers out of the kit!
This is one of the pages that I hope you enjoy and do remember to share your creations in our facebook group.
You can find the full instructions here.

October Virtual Crop Class - Bungalow Lane with Ann
October Virtual Crop Class - Vintage Artistry In the Leaves with Katherine
This class uses the gorgeous In the Leaves papers from 49 and Market and it is perfect for Autumnal photos or landscape pictures. There are loads of gorgeous elements in the kit to play with, from the rub-ons to the laser cut ephemera. In the class we make 3 layouts, the first starts with creating inky backgrounds and co-ordinating the rub-ons, the next layering and the last using the papers as a base and accenting them with the die-cut laser pieces.
October Virtual crop class by Karen Leahy
Hello everyone, Dolly here.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and coped better with the heat and the dry than I did. I am very much a winter girl, though I could easily be swayed into summer by the bright summery colours of the gorgeous kit for this class. The stunning 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Mango papers are stunning and a joy to play with.
The class has three pages for you - all quite simple and I hope you enjoy creating them. You will; have loads left over too.
This is one of the three pages.
I hope you will share what you create in our facebook group.
Have fun everyone x

September Vitrual Crop Class with Tracy
Hi, Hey, Hello! How are you all? I hope you are all enjoying the weekend, and your virtual crop day.
I've been getting last minute bits and pieces ready for our girls trip next weekend to the Jurassic coast, with some surprises lined up for the birthday girl! But I digress... I'm really happy to be bringing you a 3 page class with P13's Beyond the Sea!
These papers conjure up nostalgic memories of beach days when I was a kid, and all those elements on the papers are exactly the kind of thing I expect to see on the beaches across the South West Coast.
Since I was lucky enough to have a week in Cornwall, it was pretty perfect for me! :)
I hope you enjoy this class that incorporates a simple but distressed look for the first page, some inkyness on the second and a (hopefully uncomplicated) folding element on the third!
As always, if you have any questions I endeavor to be on hand throughout the day to hopefully help.
Due to a technical hiccup in September the instructions have been emailed to all who purchased a kit. If you have yet to receive these please do drop an email to mel@atripdownmemorylane.co.uk and please remember to share your layouts with us on the Facebook page.

Class 13 - Time of my Life with Tracy
Are you ready for the final class of the weekend? This bumper class has four layouts, but they are all super quick to get the weekend wrapped up, leaving you time to get back to those challenges!
The finale of the movie is "(I've had the) Time of My Life", this class keeps that in mind whilst we document our best memories (in my case memories of my recent summer holiday to Cornwall in July).
The Adventure Awaits papers from Memory Place are so easy to work with, lending themselves naturally to quick layouts with lots of layers. I loved the balloons so much, and the journaling cards and elements on the pages just make it all so easy for the pages to come together.
Here's two of the layouts
I hope you have a lot of fun with this cute range, and I can't wait to see your pages in the facebook group. As always I'm around if you have any questions just give me a shout.
Class 12 Nobody puts baby in the corner with Ann
For this class my designs features corner elements with sun rays bursting from the bottom left corner of layout 1 and a multi-photo layout 2 with the focus of the design in opposite corners. The collection used is Obed Marshall Especiale where I split the colourways of the kit to have a citrus inspired layout 1 and a blue/green inspired layout 2. Lots of elements remaining too for another page (and perfect if you have holidays in Spain!)
You can find the instructions for the class here and I look forward to seeing your pages. Tracy closes the show next at 6pm where we hope you will join her for The Time of your Life!

Class 9 - The Lake with Karen
Hello again everyone, Dolly back for the last class for today. I hope you have had fun playing along and chatting today with all the super classes and challenges.
This 9th class uses the fabulous 49th and Market Shore papers, die cuts and rub ons and it is such an awesome collection.
Needless to say it is watery themed, but water can mean anything (but the class is inspired by The Lake in the film with the famous dance lift practice scenes between Johnnie and Baby)
I have three pages for you to create and still lots of bits left over for other projetcts.
This is one of the pages
As always we would love to see what you come up with so do share your pages in the facebook group.
You can find the instructions here and we will then see you back in the morning for another Kellerman's cybercrop challenge.
Class 8 - Hold Your Frame with Mel
Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the Cyber Crop so far!
My next class is entitled Hold Your Frame which is a quote from the film where Johnny is teaching Baby to dance. In this class we will use the gorgeous Asuka Dusty Blue Floral collection to make two layouts each with a different type of frame to show off your photos.
Click Here for the Instructions and don't forget to upload your class and challenge pages over on ATDML # Create as we love to see what you have been making.

Class 7 - This is my Space with Katherine
I hope you enjoy it. The Instructions are here
Be back at 6pm for the next challenge - The Water Lift!
Class 6 - Baby with Ann
I hope you have all been enjoying your cybercrop so far (we do so very much enjoy putting them together for you!) I am here now sharing class 6 called Baby - inspired by the name of the main female lead in the Dirty Dancing films. For this class I was inspired to create two pages, one featuring baby elements and a small photo, the second all about my baby (my bike!) and cycling adventures with my husband. You can chose to be inspired either by my class pages where I have used PhotoPlay Cabin Fever papers, or by the class name and go with baby photos, smaller elements or something/someone you call Baby.
Class instructions can be found >>here<< if you have the kit, or scraplift with your own papers, we really don't mind. You can also share your pages in our class gallery on facebook if you like, we love seeing how everyone makes the classes their own.
Katherine will join you next at 4pm with Class 7 - This is your Space
Class 5 - I carried a watermelon with Tricia
Class 4 - 'Where are you Tonight? with Karen
Good morning everyone, Dolly here and I am hoping you are all ready for a day of fun, chatter and scrapping.
I am pleased to bring you your first class of the day using the utterly gorgeous Prima Golden Desert. The papers are just such gorgeous quality and I love the soft palette of the collection.
Whilst the papers are very desert themed, there is plenty of scope to scrap other things too and, with two class pages, you will have plenty left over to play with as well.
The title of the class is 'Where are you tonight?' and so we are focussing on things hidden on your pages.
This is one of the pages I have created for you. It has space for several more photos on a specially hinged flap you will create.
I hope you have fun with this and, as always, we look forward to seeing your pages in the group.
You can find the class instructions here.

Class 3 - Big Girls Don't Cry with Debs
Sending a warm South African welcome to the ‘Big Girls don’t Cry’ class where we will explore using large photographs on a page.
This class allows for super quick and easy pages using the gorgeous Simple stories Simple Vintage Indigo Garden range. I have been using large prints on layouts for many years and love that they are a convenient way to complete a layout quickly because the photograph covers so much of the space. Large prints also allow us to add a title, embellishments and journaling ono the photograph without losing or covering any important details on the photo.
Examples and instructions for layouts using extra large photographs can be found here.
I look forward to seeing your large photo layouts.
Hope you all have a wonderfully scrappy weekend.
