Class 16 - PICCADILLY with Ann

Hello lovely people and welcome to my Sunday afternoon class where I take you to PICCADILLY. I chose Piccadilly as my class as I am reminded of the circular roundabout and the Eros statue when I think of Piccadilly Circus and that suited my circular based layout here.

I created this page originally at the April 2014 retreat and was asked if I could make it in to a class, as several people wished to scraplift it, so here you are!  For those of you who purchased the kit for this class I tried to make it as neutral as possible to fit many themes so I hope you enjoy!

The instructions for all classes will remain on the website so you can come back and download at a later date if you do not have time this weekend or save them to your computer for when you are ready.

As always we would love to see your versions of this class and hope you will take a moment to share them with us. Our Facebook cybercrop classes album can be found HERE where you can add your images, or post on Twitter tagging @atdml or link your shared image in the comments to this posting.

Have a gloriously crafty Sunday afternoon and we are back here at 4pm with your final challenge for the weekend and then at 5pm for the final class of the weekend. See you then x

Class 15 - HIGH BARNET with Karen

I can't believe we have done 14 classes already!  Welcome to my final class of the weekend - High Barnet - my layout is called 'Big Hair' .  As soon as I saw the list of underground stations I knew exactly what photo I would use for this one.

In this class we are layering, layering and layering some more!  I always use lots of foam pads, sometimes doubling and trebling them up when I want lots of lumpyness to my page but this layout will look just as good flat.

 The bonus project is a mini album (simple to make I promise - Tracey D) which uses 6 x 4 journaling cards as the base of the page.

 Instructions can be found HERE.

You can upload your projects to our Facebook Cybercrop challenge photo album which can be found here , or post on Twitter tagging @atdml or link your shared image in the comments to this post.

So where to next after you have visited High Barnet - Ann's final class of the weekend and she is taking you to Piccadilly - see you there! 

Challenge #7 - BANK

Challenge #7 this fine Sunday lunchtime and we bring you to BANK.

This challenge idea came from Jane who has illustrated it beautifully below with her altered 'Fortnum & Masons' tea canister using Marion Smith papers. We challenge you to create a moneybox from paper/card or altering an existing item. It can be as basic or elaborate as you like and could be a perfect gift to yourself for putting money away to save for something special or a fun change pot to have for your coppers.

We are super excited to see what you all come up with for this challenge the deadline for which is next Sunday July 27th. Who knows, you could win a prize simply for having a go and sharing your project!

Next up at 1pm, be sure to fix your hair before you check in with Karen as she takes you to HIGH BARNET for Class #15.

Class 14 - CRYSTAL PALACE with Jane

Technically 'Overground', rather than 'Underground' your next stop is Crystal Palace at the end of the line. If you're not interested in football then maybe you might want to alight here to visit the Victorian concrete dinosaurs in Crystal Palace park...?

But to me 'Crystal Palace' does not conjure up either footballers or grey lumps of concrete. I think of sparkling crystal, glass chandeliers and all things grand, after all it was named after the original Glass structure or 'Crystal Palace' originally built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition in 1851 but moved to South London after the Exhibition was over. So my project is a double layout, to reflect the 'palace' part and full of bling for the 'crystal' part. If you're using your own stash I think the only 'MUST' here is to throw lots of bling at it and have fun!

Here is my double layout...

 

And some close ups...

 

Bonus Cards...

So there we have my last class of the weekend. I hope you like it and it would be good 

to see your creations and versions linked at the bottom here or posted to our Facebook group ATDML#Create.

Next visit along the line is Crystal Palace with Jane at 10.30 am.

Challenge #6 - NOTTING HILL GATE

Welcome back to day three and we start with our 6th challenge NOTTING HILL GATE. When most people think of Notting Hill it is either the famous & colourful carnival that springs to mind or the movie from the 90s starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.

So for this challenge we are going to combine those two things and challenge you to create a colourful layout featuring a film title either as the page title or contained within your journaling.  Karen has illustrated this challenge for us in the layout below using Simple Stories.

As always you can share your creations with us if you are so inclined by leaving a link to your page in the comments below, sharing on Twitter and tagging @atdml or via our Challenge Album on Facebook which can be found here and it is filling up nicely with your challenge creations thus far!! Deadline for this challenge is next Sunday July 27th.

Next up is your first class of the day at 9am LONDON BRIDGE with Denise. Have a beautiful Sunday x

Challenge #5 - EDGWARE ROAD

Last challenge for the day (#5) as we stop off at EDGWARE ROAD and pay some attention to the edges of our papers.

Distress your edges, fold your edges, curl your edges, ink your edges, fray your edges, pleat your edges or tear your edges... just don't leave them untouched for this challenge! 

Our Katherine is a bit of distress edge queen when it comes to her inky layouts and I particularly love  this one from Websters Pages gallery earlier this year which illustrates this challenge beautifully.

I also got a little distressed(!) on this layout for the Marion Smith gallery last month. 

Of course don't forget to share your creations with us in the usual ways: comments below, Twitter @ATDML, or in the Facebook challenge gallery. Deadline for this challenge to be shared with us and maybe in with a chance to win a prize is next Sunday July 27th.

Hope you've all enjoyed day two of our Cybercrop. See you back here on the blog tomorrow morning where 8am will see Challenge #6 NOTTING HILL or come chat over on Facebook if you are still up and crafting and let us know what you've been enjoying most!
