Crop on Sunday 1st April

Once again Chris has come up with a fantastic layout for us to do at the next crop.

The materials needed for the layout are:

2, 3 or 4 photos around 3"x3" or ones that can be cropped to that size.

1 sheet plain cardstock
4 pieces of co-ordinating patterned papers 6X6 "
or 1 sheet patterned 12 x 12 paper

Card/paper scraps for flowers plus ribbon etc for embellishments

Acrylic paint to co-ordinate with papers plus white or cream acrylic paint as basecoat

There will be some paint available at the crop but colours are limited and may not co-ordinate with your paper.
There will be chipboard and crackle medium available at the crop for a nominal charge.

Crop on Sunday 4 March

This weeks crop project is very simple but I hope you like it.

The photos needed for this are:

Photo 1 - 4 1/2" by 3 3/4"
Photo 2 - 6" by 2 3/4"
Photo 3 - 1 3/4" by 5 1/2"

Please note photo 2 and 3 will need the image in the middle with enough at each end to be able to cut and shape them to fit the box shape without eating into the image.

The materials needed are:

1 sheet 12x12 plus half a 12x12 sheet of a contrast or complementary paper

Some perfect pearls mist, a mask (I used sequin waste) and ink for edges.

Tools needed apart from the usual is a blade for cutting the photo template and photos.

Plus any other embellishments that you would like to add.

See you on sunday
