December Virtual Crop Class with Katherine

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying the Virtual Crop so far - I'm going to drift you away from Christmas with 3 layouts using Vicky Boutin's Colour Study paper.  There is a beautiful Friends die-cut in the pack and plenty of colour in the papers.

The second page uses texture and lots of layering and the page is just packed with colour and the showcases all the different patterns in this collection.

I hope you enjoy the pages.  The instructions will be posted on Facebook and do remember to come and join in the chatter and share your creations with us in ATDML#Create.

Remember to check back at 2pm for Ann's Class.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and super New Year.
 

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.

Dec 2017 Virtual Crop Class 1 with Ann

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's seasonal we go xx

Welcome to your last virtual crop day of 2017 and I have bought you four project life style pages today in my class using the very festive My Minds Eye Cozy Christmas papers.

You can find and download the instructions HERE and if you don't have the kit, worry not, this class is super straight forward to create with your own papers. I also did a bonu 5th page by adding a sheet of white card to the kit so over the five pages you scrap Dec 1st - 25th.

Next class at noon with Tricia and then 2pm with Mel. 
Enjoy lovely scrappers xx

December Virtual crop day challenge

Welcome to day 10 of your Advent with ATDML which is actually our virtual crop day, so you get a challenge and three classes today!! 

We hold our virtual crop days every month and kits are available to purchase in advance to join in with three classes available on line and of course a challenge. You don';t have to have a kit to take part in the classes, and there is no kit for the challenge. Just grab some supplies and join in!

As always our challenge is based on this day in music history - our last challenge for the year!!

On December 10th 1965 an 18-year-old David Bowie recorded 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' at Pye Studios in London, which was later released as a single under the name David Bowie with The Lower Third. It became the first David Bowie record to be released in America, the start of something big! 

Your challenge today is to create a layout about you! We should all be thinking of ourselves and scrapping our story, not just that of our friends and family so now is your chance. Layout MUST feature a photograph of yourself, bonus points if it is a festive photo given we are also in the midst of advent with ATDML!

Do share your challenge layouts in our Facebook gallery on ATDML # Create.
See you back here at 10am for your first class of the day :)

December Virtual Crop Class 1 - with Karen

 Hello, hello and welcome to another virtual crop.  Can it really be December? 

As we are approaching Christmas and are all very busy, I made three very quick and easy layouts using Simple Stories - Sweater Weather.


The first 'Hello Autumn' utalises several elements cut from various papers and was made in under 30 minutes so an extremely quick project.

My next layout took a little longer as it involved gutting card and making a photo mount but should be achievable in a short time frame.

 My third layout is also a simple one and when I saw the chipboard shapes I immediately thought of a photo I had taken, several years ago, of Gracia splashing in a puddle.  At the time I had a thing about taking asymmetric photos but thought that the shapes were perfect for making splashes on my page.  I wanted to use the cute foxes and squirrel, cut from the various papers in the kit, on my page too.

Instructions for my projects can be found here and if you pop back at 12:00 you will be able to download Ann's fabulous class.

December Virtual Crop Photo Requirements

Class 1 - Karen

Layout 1 - Two 6 by 4" portrait photos

Layout 2 - One very large photo - mine is 7" wide by 10" tall, but a 7" square or slightly smaller would work.

Layout 3 - One 7 by 5" portrait photo taken at an angel - can be adapted for straight portrait or landscape.  Here is an example.

All 3 pages have an Autumnal theme


Class 2 Ann

4 by 6" portrait photo - the papers are travel/adventure themed.

Class 3 Debbie

Layout 1 - a landscape 4 by 6" photo, but the layout is designed to be able to add a Christmas Day photo for 2015 at a later date.
