Around the World in 80 Hours - Challenge 12 - IRELAND

 

IRELAND

Just before we return to London to conclude our Around thw World virtual trip we've just time to stop off in Ireland to feast our eyes on the amazing Giants Causeway.

Declared a world heritatge site in 1986 much of the Giant's Causeway is owned and managed by the National Trust. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Northern Ireland  and the area is about  40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. Most of these columns are hexagonal but there are a number with 4,5, 7 and 8 sides as well.

We are going to stick with the 6 sides to inspire Challenge 12 and ask you to create a page featuring hexagons like the Causeway.

Katherine has a lovely example here for you and we can't wait to see yours.

That is the last challenge of the weekend after which we return to London later this evening to conclude our trip and stand back and admire our creations. Don't forget your passport too - did you track your weekend as you went along?

Going all the way with the Irish is our Jane

A huge thank you for being with us on our Trip Around the World and we will see you soon!

Around the World in 80 Hours - Challenge 10 - GREENLAND

 

GREENLAND

We leave the lovely Vicki Boutin and Onatario, Canada behind as we head via the Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean onto Greenland for challenge number 10 this cybercrop weekend.

After a little research turns out theres not much in Greenland though it is the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.

So for Challenge 10 we want to see your white space layouts with not much there! Harder than it sounds if you ask me but our DT have once again come up trumps sharing some inspiration with you.

AROUND THE WORLD CYBERCROP CLASS 11 - NEW YORK WITH TRICIA

 

Good afternoon Campers

New York is one of my favourite cities in the world, it's the place I keep returning to time and time again.  

More than anything, I love being out on the streets and could walk all day round the city just people watching.  The added bonus to this is the street art which is everywhere, large building sized pieces to the tiny pasteups typical of the city.  

In this class I'll be using Simple stories 'Reset girl' to replicate the elements of New York that I love - the gritty street art, the urban colours, the skyline and the city studded with little urban parks to chill out (a bit like Edinburgh) 

In the second layout I wanted to replicated the reflectiveness of the skyscrapers that bounce the light and reflections back and forward against each other like mirrors.

In the third layout I was inspired by the Highline, a long rail track space saved by the people of New York to create a park.  All along the space is ever changing art work, hidden spaces to hang out and some beautiful gardens.  It's one of my favourite places in the city and I have lost a day just hanging out there before.  

So grab your kit and click here to join me for a wander through the city, don't forget that you can add all your layouts from this class to our facebook album so we can see what you have been up to.

Stick around for the next class with Debs where she'll be taking us to Canada with Vicki Boutin.

enjoy your flight!!

Well now we arrive at our penultimate stop in USA, the Sunshine State of Florida for Challenge 9.

Home of Disney Theme Parks you can chose to scrap your theme parks or adventure parks or Disney photos for this challenge - or be inspired by the Sunshine state to have rays of sun on your layout.

Around the World in 80 Days - Class 10 - Texas with Karen

 

Hello again everyone. We are travelling at quite a pace around the world this weekend and now we have already reached Texas. It is no secret that the USA is close to my heart and Texas is such a great state, known for s many things from the soap opera Dallas to its oil, its steaks, the Alamo, and for its lone star standing. And of course, everything in Texas is BIG. And I mean HUGE. Texans pride themselves on it. Texas has the largest drum, Big Bertha, The largest working fire hydrant in the world (donated by the Walt Disney company) the world's largest Road Runner statue, the largest pair of cowboy boots in the world and, on Route 66, the Big Texan steakhouse serving the biggest steaks. 

So, I am sure you have spotted the theme for this class - it's BIG. 

There are three class pages, using the gorgeous Paige Evans Wonder papers and featuring something BIG on each one. This is just one of the pages you will find in the instructions. 

 

You can find all the class instructions here and I hope that you will share your comments and pages over on our facebook group. 

Enjoy 'going large' in this unique state before we move on to Florida for another challenge.
