Class 12 with Tricia - The Italian Job



It's no secret that I love to travel, some people love cars, some love handbags - I love boarding passes.  So this Summer when my friends decided to guarentee good weather for their wedding day by doing it in sunny Sorrento, it was an extra special reason to get up and go.


While we were there we extended the trip and checked another bucket list location by visiting Pompeii.  I grabbed this great photo of Jamie and Calum posing with parasols on the streets of Pompeii which works perfectly with the pink, blues and browns of Crate paper 'Craft Market' range.  


In our house we live for tea, we've never been one for a cup of Joe.  However when you are in Naples we were assured you just have to try the coffee.  I snapped this great shot of Jamie 'enjoying' his espresso and teamed it with the coffee coloured paper in the range.


This is the last class of the day but pop back at 9am tomorrow for Jane's fabulous Graphic 45 class.



Challenge 4 - Pretty in Pink (1986)


Cannot believe I was just 15 when this film came out! I bet you can guess what the challenge is for this evening? Yep, you guessed it, dig out your pink supplies and get as pink as you like with this one.

Jane has illustrated our Pretty in Pink inspired challenge beautifully below.


Save your completed layout in the challenge 4 gallery on Facebook once you have completed it, we'd love to see your pages.  As with the previous challenges this will remain open until midnight on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August to give you plenty of time to join in. 

Class 11 with Ann - Beaches (1988)


One of my favourite all time films that makes me cry almost by just thinking about it. What doesn't make me cry though is the gorgeous beach themed Kaisercraft Coastal Escape papers that came in the kit for this class. These went perfectly with my sandy Fuertaventura photos for my holiday earlier this month.


I created 3 pages from the kit, the instructions for which can be downloaded HERE.




Do share your pages from this class in our Cybercrop classes gallery on Facebook.

Next class is at 8pm with Tricia but another challenge will be posted at 6pm with a chance for you to grab some food before scrapping on in to the evening. Enjoy!!

Class 10 - A Grand Day Out with Katherine


For this class we are making a really quick and easy mini-book, I've adapted it a little bit so all the measurements are in inches, but it is a fab book for documenting a particular event, and a great one for a gift too.  All you need is some paper, a scoreboard and trimmer.

Here are a couple of photos of the inside of the book, but there are more in the class instructions.



I hope you are all enjoying the crop and getting involved in the challenges, I look forward to seeing what everyone creates.

Class 9 with Karen - My Fair Lady


As soon as I saw this Luxe Design Classic Black papers I thought they looked like fabric and I knew exactly what it reminded me of - the Ascot Race scene, from My Fair Lady, which featured gorgeous costumes designed by Cecil Beaton.



I wanted to try to recreate these fabulous designs on a scrapbook page so looked on Pinterest for paper folding ideas and found the one featured on my first page.  I then decided to add a bow, in keeping with the fabric and fashion feel I wanted to give to my page.



My second page utalises the remaining pretty papers from this range.  I used them to create a simple but bold page and added pops of pink.



Katherine is up at 4pm so we had better get our rubber gloves and aprons out ready it might be a messy one!


Challenge 3 - Beauty & The Beast (1991)

Another challenge for this afternoon, this time inspired by Beauty and the Beast we want you to pair two contrasting colours together on a page, after all opposites attract!

This challenge has been illustrated below by Karen. Think it was the colours of the yellow and blue which also caught Karen's eye for this challenge!




Save your completed layout in the challenge 3 gallery on Facebook once you have completed it and who knows, we may select a prize at random for a lucky participant. 

Challenges will remain open until midnight on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August to give you plenty of time to join in. 

Class 8 with Mel - The Color Purple

Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying the cybercrop so far, I am sure you will agree there have been some great classes so far and we are not even half way there yet!


My second class featured papers from the Beautiful Dreamer collection and in a wild departure for me there was a lot of purple, a colour I do not dislike but I rarely use. So the class is named for the colour palette although eagle eyed participants will notice that the third layout in this class has virtually no purple on it.


You can download the instructions for this class here on the ATDML website.

Be sure to visit the ATDML # Create Facebook page to join in the cybercrop chat and to share your creations with us, we all enjoy seeing the different interpretations of our classes.

Join us here again at 2pm for your next challenge and then again at 3pm for an elegant class by Karen.

Happy Scrapping!
