SCRAPBOOK WORKSHOP & CROP TIME


SCRAPBOOK WORKSHOP & CROP
Tuesday January 18, 9:30 - 4:30
Complete one or both of these layouts in my home workshop.  In addition, you can stay and use the dies, stamps, and other tools to work on your own projects.  My workshop will be open at 9:30.   
Bring a lunch and you can stay all afternoon – up until 4:30.  
 I will provide drinks and snacks/goodies for you while you work.

Complete one 2-page layout for $18, or both for $25.  This fee includes EVERYTHING you need to complete the layouts, except your adhesive and photos, plus the extra time for your own scrapbooking with support from me and the others in the group.  I will have plain cardstock you can purchase for additional projects, but it will work best to bring your own patterned background paper for the project/s you are working on.   
If you are interested in this crop, but can’t make the date I have set aside, let me know and, depending on the response, I will add another time – an evening or Saturday possibly, depending on the interest.

Click here to see more photos of these layouts
on the Scrapbook Workshop page.
