Scrapbooking Class List and Samples

Welcome back to our AUTUMN season of classes, we have so many new and exciting projects planned for the next few months, we hope you can come to as many as possible because we have had so much fun creating them.

All classes will only go ahead with a minimum of 5 people and a maximum of 8. Upon booking a single class, payment is due in full, if booking multiple classes a 50% deposit is to be paid with the balance due no less than 5 days prior to the class. Cancellation on your behalf prior to class means your deposit is forfeited. If you do not show up for a class you will forfeit your full class fee. If a class does not meet the minimum of 5 a full refund or other class option will be offered. Sorry it sounds so tough but there will be people who would have liked to take your place if you don’t show up, and to keep costs down we need to have full classes. Thanks for understanding.

For Each Adult class it is essential that you MUST bring: Sharp scissors, pencil, ruler, rubber, paper trimmer with blade & scorer and double sided tape. These items are available to purchase on the night or in store. All our classes require a little knowledge on how to scrapbook, if you haven’t scrapped before let us know and we’ll organise a beginner’s class.

ALL CLASSES BEGIN AT 7.30PM AND USUALLY FINISH AT 10.30PM ISH UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. REFRESHMENTS ARE PROVIDED, PLEASE BE AT CLASS AT 7.15 FOR A QUICK START

We recommend that all evening classes are for persons 13 years or older. Kid’s classes are held for ages 9 and above. If you child is younger but you think they are capable they must be accompanied by an adult helper.
