November Virtual Crop Class 3 - with Mel

Hi all, I hope you have enjoyed the classes so far today. I am bringing you the last class of the day; a three layout class featuring Simple Stories We Are... Family.

Here is one of the layouts, CLICK HERE to see the others and download the free instructions.

Don't forget if you have any comments or questions please stop by the ATDML # Create Facebook page.

Before I leave you just a quick reminder that the December Virtual Crop is the only one in the year NOT on the third Saturday of the month (it is often just that bit too close to Christmas) and instead it will take place on the second Saturday which this year is Saturday December 10th.

Happy Scrapping Everyone!

September Virtual Crop Class 2 with Mel

Hello all and welcome to the second class of the day. I hope you all enjoyed Janes lovely minibook, I am certain that with the huge number of holiday photos I have I could make use of a Summer Memories minibook right now!

My class includes four layouts (there was a lot of paper in the kit!) and I thoroughly enjoyed making these layouts. Full instructions for all four can be found HERE

Next up is Debbie this afternoon with the final class of the day.

August Virtual Crop Class 3 with Ann Freeman

Welcome all to your third and final class for today - a nice easy one for me which I think is great every now and then to just help get those memories into albums. Sometimes this is what I like to do, others I prolong the creative process to enjoy that aspect of the hobby too.

So today I bring you two layouts and enough left over products for a birthday card.
The kit was using Simple Stories Happy Day collection which whilst a birthday themed range can be used for other celebrations if you're a little creative!

Simple Stories website has some other great layout ideas with this collection too which can be found HERE.  Don't have this collection but another from Simple Stories, then follow the design concepts for a similar looking page with different theme/colours. Failing that make it up as you go along with your own products!!

Thanks for joining in - go download your FREE instructions for my class this month HERE

June Virtual Crop - Class 3 by Mel Hand

Welcome to the last class of the day for the June Virtual Crop. I hope you have all enjoyed Karen and Ann's projects and the challenge from this morning!

My class used the Crate Paper Confetti collection and I have focused on layering and clustering embellishments to give a layout with lots to look at.

The class has two layouts, the first is shown below (you will have to visit the site and download the instructions to see layout 2!)

As always full and free downloadable class instructions are available HERE

We would love to see your take on this or any of the other classes and challenges over on the
ATDML # Create Facebook page.

April Virtual Crop - Class 3 by Mel Hand

Last class of the day coming up ladies. I worked with the lovely Echo Park "The Story of our Family" for this (yes the collection that started the "Ann measures in owls" story!)

I love the bright colours in this collection and as always I have used inking on my layouts. If you don't usually do this I urge you to give it a try and a little black inking really makes those colours POP!

You can click HERE for my instructions to this two layout class. The first layout is below and features a fun sunburst design which makes the most of the many patterns and colours in this collection.

I hope you have all enjoyed another ATDML Virtual Crop - join us again for next months Virtual Crop of Saturday May 21st for another 3 classes and of course a challenge. In the meantime do stop by the ATDML # Create Facebook group for scrappy chat, inspiration and to share your creations.

March 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 3 - Katherine Sutton

Welcome to the 3rd class of the day, using the beautiful Crate Paper Confetti papers and some pockets too.  We make 3 pages, I do cut the paper sparingly to achieve this, but it is possible.  There is also a messy page in the middle if you would like to have a go at that using gesso and yellow water colour ink or yellow distress ink - though you could change the colour to fit with the photo as the papers are fairly neutral.  The final page uses up all the other bits of paper and has lots of little photos.

Do share your photos with us in Facebook group as we love to see them.

Here is the link to the class instructions.

March 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 2 with Jane

Hello everyone...I'm back with another Graphic 45 project and if you got the By the Sea kit you can copy my book exactly...or do your own twist on it. But even if you're playing along with your own papers you can make a version of this book because it's more about the construction rather than the papers really. This was inspired by the folio albums now available from Tim Holtz - but they are quite pricey so I thought - I'll make my own version!
The finished book (minus photos) looks like this...

But I think you might get a better impression of the book by seeing it in action so here's a quick video of it...

Instructions can be found  HERE, download for free and off you go!.

Katherine is up next at 2pm with your third class of the day. Happy crafting!

March 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 1 with Mel Hand

Good morning, I hope you have all been enjoying Ann's Fab Four challenge :)

First class of the day is with me. I loved the papers in this class, the colours are lovely and the gold foiled elements add a little bit of sparkle without being too over powering. I really enjoyed making these layouts so I hope you also enjoy the class.

As always, free downloadable instructions for the layouts can be found here.

Join us for the next class which is a fantastic mini album with Jane at midday.

February Virtual Crop - Class 3 with Mel

Welcome to the final class of the day. I hope you have enjoyed the classes by Karen and Ann earlier in the day.

Remember we would love to see your creations over on the ATDML # Create Facebook page!

My class is, like Ann's, uses papers from mixed manufacturers and ranges. I created two layouts using the kit and as always Instructions can be downloaded HERE.

Thanks again for joining us for another Virtual crop. The next one will take place on Saturday March 19th - look out for kits going on sale at the beginning of March!

February Virtual Crop Class 2 with Ann

Hello lovely Scrapbookers, my turn next with your second virtual crop class this month.

My layout for today uses the mixture of green and blue papers that were included in the class kit. Don't worry if you don't have the kit as this page is also a great way of using up left over 12" strips of paper that you may have, so you'll be good to go and it's a nice, quick page to pull together.

Instructions can be found HERE, download for free and off you go!.

Mel is up next at 2pm with your third class of the day. Happy scrapping!!

February 2016 Virtual Crop - Class 1 with Karen

Hello, hello lovely scrappers and welcome to February's virtual crop.

I am kicking off the proceedings today with a two page class using the scrumptious #Happy from Websters Pages and I certainly was #Happy when I got to work with it.

Both my pages use standard 6 x 4 photographs, one has a landscape and the other has a portrait.

I utalised the two chevron striped papers on the first page and also used one of the vellum cut-a-parts for my journaling block.

On my second page I cut out some of the chevrons and backed them with vellum to give a little bit of dimension to the page.

You can download the instructions for my class here.

Pop back at 12 noon to see what Ann has done x
