Basics and Beyond!
Join us in this two-class series designed to lay the foundation for and elevate your skills in scrapbooking. Each class stands alone; take one or both. For each class you will need to bring a class kit (paper trimmer, scissors and adhesive) and 6-10 photos to use for your layout. The materials for your pages are included in your class fee of $20 and each class is 2 hours long. You will also have the opportunity to play with some of the cool tools we have in the store including Quickutz, Curvy Cutter, and the Crop-A-Dile.
