We will be running a Scrapbooking Class on Saturday starting at 11.30 and finishing around 1pm.

Join us for a fun morning creating this beautiful page:

1970714_10152642282168426_6631911849436599575_n-1

We will be using the very popular Webster’s Pages, flowers, brads and alphabet stickers.

Please bring a good pair of scissors with you as well as a close up photo. I used a 5×7″ one, but you can use a 4×6: one as you can just make the hole a bit smaller. Everything else is included.

This layout suits both Beginner’s and more experienced Scrapbookers.

Costs $10 (includes tuition and kit)

Prima Weekend

Leave a reply

Good Morning!

There have been a few changes to our Prima Weekend…

Due to the majority of people who were booked in for Jamie’s Bloom Girl class were travelling down from Geraldton, she is now coming up here earlier and will be teaching her wonderful 6 hour workshop here in Geraldton. There are still a couple of spots left if you would like to book in!

As Janine is teaching in Perth and I can’t be in 2 places at once – I have asked Suzanne from the Scrapbook Store to host Janine which she has 🙂

So that brings us to another small issue – location. The hall was already booked on the Saturday so both days will now be held at the Master Builders Training Centre.

Thanks!
