The Cybercrop Begins - Home is where the heart is

It all began last night, my first ever cybercrop, I haven't been to any workshops or classes recently and needed some creative inspiration. The theme for the UK Scrappers cybercrop is the Wizard of OZ and through out the weekend various challenges and online classes will be taking place. For a couple of weeks the supply list has been posted, I got the kits together for all the classes because I don't know what to expect. I can then decide which ones I want to take part in and be ready, rather than scrambling to find things. The only thing I didn't do in advance was print photos, I have plenty to choose from so I haven't worried about that.
A pre-crop challenge was set
Home is Where the Heart Is In the Wizard of Oz, all Dorothy wants to do is go Home. What is it that makes 'Home' for you? Is it a particular place? or a person/people? Create a layout to do with anything that makes you feel at home. Here is my layout.

There was also the mystery kit challenge, that I haven't done much with so far, I'm afraid after purchasing it I was left completely uninspired. I have until Sunday to do something with it so I may suddenly get a blinding idea.I haven't managed to complete any challenges so far but I did complete two classes last night. I'm very pleased with both of them, as soon as we get some decent light I'll take photos and post them.

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout. Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking. I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic. Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued
