August's Scraplift Challenge

Hello, hello lovlies.

For August's scraplift challenge I have chosen this layout by Jane to scraplift.

Due to her very busy worklife Jane only occasionally adds projects to the gallery but every time she does I am in awe of her creativity.  This month we are so lucky to have a huge selection of her work in the August Gallery and I seriously recommend you pop over and have a look - you will be as amazed as I was, especially with the Sherlock Holmes board game!

I thought the punched and folded border was such a lovely idea, and of course my lovely Kiera had to be the star of the show.  I used my Silhouette to cut out some flowers and leaves to replicate the G45 die cut ones that Jane used, fussy cut some butterflies and my page was complete.

As always, I am really excited to see what you come up with this month.

The ATDML gallery can be found on the 'Information' section -  at the right-hand side of the ATDML shop site .

Happy Scraplifting x

February's virtual crop - Class 2 with Jane

Hello everyone - today I am bringing you a little aquatic themed project courtesy of Voyage Beneath the Sea papers from Graphic 45. I loved the mermaid on the papers and decided I wanted to feature her - but since she wasn't all there I have recreated her tail by making scales using punched circles.

I also loved the waves in this kit so they had to feature. These are the perfect papers to use for beach themed photos - though mine is a very old photo (yes,  that's me in the middle there in about 1988!)

Anyway I hope you like my LO and give it a go if you got the kit - or do your own spin on it.
It looks like this...

And the instructions are here.

Enjoy your day of crafting and pop by later for some fabulous layouts from Katherine!

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...

Our next station will be 'Bank' at Midday for a challenge, followed by 'High Barnet' with Karen at 1pm. Happy Travels!

Class 12 - COVENT GARDEN with Jane

Welcome to Covent Garden station on the Picadilly line and home to shops, restaurants, street performers and lots of other surprises!

 

When you think of Covent Garden, you think of flowers from when it used to be a flower market and you think of the bohemian environment it is today. Because of this, Bohemian Bazaar papers from Graphic 45 totally fit the bill for any class called ‘Covent Garden’. I also think Covent Garden is full of surprises so I wanted to create a class with a bit of a surprise. At first glance this project looks like an altered book but open it up to discover that this is not a real book but a hollow shell containing a mini-book! I love to layer things up and make them 3D but this is entirely a personal thing and if you're not as keen on 'fussy cutting' as I am then just leave that bit out!

 

Here are some pictures of my finished project...

 

 

 

 

 

Instructions for this class are available in both written form and video (2 of them!)...

The final station for today will be Edgeware Road at 10pm where you will meet yet another challenge!



Class 3 - OVAL with Jane

Welcome to my first class, and to Oval station on the Northern line, alight at this station to go to 'The Oval'.

The Oval is an international Cricket Ground and the home of the Surrey County Cricket  Club.  This class is called Oval because the basis for this project is a cardstock constructed Cricket Scoreboard – the kind with opening doors and topped with a clock. Apart from that the papers are very definitely sport based with a mixture of tennis, cricket, rugby as well as American sports.  This project could be used to showcase a sporty picture or as an elaborate way to present a gift of sports tickets to someone special.

 

I have used Graphic 45's Good Ol' Sport papers but if you are using your own stash you could use any co-ordinating papers and cut out any pictures to collage such as flowers etc.

 

Here is my finished project...

 

There are instructions for this class in both written and video form...
