Cluedo Cybercrop Class 9 Colonel Mustard behind the Beauty Backdrop with the Needle

 

Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there’s nobody else in this house?

Oh you're here too … hello there - ahem - good to see you although if one has a suspicious disposition one might wonder what you're doing wandering around at this time of the night? It seems you have found me behind the beauty backdrop adding a few finishing touches to my creations with one of my favourite tools - the needle!  The journaling phrases on the Heidi Swapp stickers were perfect to record daily Face time catch-ups with my daughter who lives away from home and the gorgeous floral papers from Webster's pages were perfect for adding a girly touch to the page.

Instructions to create this layout and others can be found here.

We'd love to examine the evidence of your efforts and so please share what you have done on the #ATDML Create Facebook page.  If you are sharing images inspired by any of the ATDML Cluedo cyber crop classes on social media,  please use the #atdmlcluedocypbercrop link.

June VC Class 1 with Ann

Hello my lovelies -  I join you today (albeit virtually) on my 18th Wedding Anniversary. I mean I think this means I should have included more photos of hubby and I on the layouts I have illustrated for you today but I have not! I will make sure to get some today!

So if you were lucky enough to get the lovely Heidi Swapp kit for my class today you will be able to replicate all 4 of my layouts and still have some left over. Otherwise just scrap along with your own stash and use the pages for inspiration - after all...it is just about getting those memories in albums, telling your stories and enjoying the creative process whilst you do.

Your instructions showing all of my pages and how to create them can be found HERE and I would love to see you versions shared in our Facebook group album. Have a great scrappy day if you are playing along today - or indeed I hope you enjoy the class when you do sit down to play.

May Virtual Crop Class 5 with Ann

And last but by no means least is your 5th class for this month from yours truly using the scrumptious Heidi Swapp Honey and Spice papers. Combining these floral papers with black and white papers makes for a great combination.

I have made three layouts for you but with an extra sheet of white card or two there is plenty left for a couple more pages.

Instructions for the class can be downloaded here and I look forward to seeing your pages fill up the gallery on our Facebook page.

Storyline Chapters memories....

Here are a couple of pages to share with you using the beautiful Storyline collection by Heidi Swapp. It is so beautiful that I have sparingly used the papers!  For this page I used the Sunnyside paper which is a nice twist in colours to lots of the rainbows we've seen.  I matched and dripped the colours down my page - I wetted the page first and then added some watercolour paint and let it all run down.  I used a mixture of mats from the papers - there are lots of lovely little embellishments and journal cards that you can cut out, teaming it with some lace and hessian and different embellishments from my stash - it all goes very nicely with wood veneers and chipboard.

I even managed to find some cotton in a similar colour and added a little swirl behind my embellishments!

For my next page I started with a massive tear to reveal some papers underneath and layered up the yellos and greys, the other main colour came from my photo which is the beautiful blue of the Med.   I used a Tim Holtz leaf die cut and made the leaves spill out from the tear and scattered them down the page.  I added a hidden journal card behind the photo and then used some blue prima flowers.

The last step was to add a bit more colour with some scattered gems, just to add some bling.  The alphabet is from Pink Fresh and it is fab, so many letters in one pack - it will keep me going for a while!

Hope you are all keeping well and safe.

Let's go with Heidi Swapp Storyline

Morning scrappy friends.

I've been playing with Heidi Swapp Storyline which is a great and versatile collection. I made this page with it and printed multiple photos each of which I made a hand drawn frame for on some scrap white card.

The rest of the page was just some 12" horizontal strips with faux stitching added, quick and easy!

Storyline

Hi everyone - Dolly here with a few pages I have made playing with Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters. The colours int his range are just so lush - gorgeous pastel pinks and greens and greys and I love them. And there are great journalling and title blocks too.

 The colours work well on Kraft or white or coloured backgrounds which makes the papers really versatile.

I had fun with this one making some pinwheels - I haven't done that for a very very long time.

I think they are also really versatile papers so - go ahead, have a look in store and see what you come up with.

We would love to see your pages in our facebook group.
