Sign up now for my FAST, FUN, and DONE Scrapbooking Classes!!

Do you struggle to find the time to finish the scrapbooking pages you've started?
Let me help you get more of them "done" this year with my NEW

"FAST, FUN, and DONE"

Scrapbooking Classes 

starting this month!

Friday, January 25th (7pm-10pm) and/or

Saturday, January 26th (1pm-5pm)

You choose which date works best for you (or atttend both)!

 If you can stay the entire time, you should have a little extra time for socializing, snacking, and/or working on any other creative projects you might want to bring with you. You can also choose from my basket of pre-cut card designs that are left-over from my monthly card-making classes and make any of those as well (3 cards for $5).

All it will take is just 2-3 hours of your time once a month

to create two 12x12 layouts (four pages total) for just $20!

 For just $20 per month, I can help you complete 48 scrapbook pages this year!! Can you imagine how great it will feel to accomplish this so affordably and so quickly with just a few hours of your time each month?!  I will design the pages and have all of the materials pre-cut for you. Then you simply ink, assemble, add your photos/journaling, and embellish them as shown (or use your own creativity to change up the design as you'd like to fit your photos and your style). This will be the new format for most of the scrapbooking classes that I will be offering this next year because I know exactly how difficult it can be to find time for creating when you are just so busy living life and making all the memories!

 

This month's pages will feature your choice of either

the CLEMENTINE or the DAKOTA kit! 

Class attendees will get a full assortment of self-adhesive CLEMENTINE Complements Canvas Sheets (X7156C) or DAKOTA Complements Foil Images (X7157C) to use, as well as a variety of other coordinating embellishments.

I highly recommend that you bring photos with you to finish your pages during class time when possible, but you do also have the option to add your photos later at home if you need to. Our number one goal though is to help you get your pages DONE quickly and beautifully, so bringing your photos to get your layouts completely finished with my coaching during class time really is the best option to help you feel successful at this!

 

PLEASE contact me to RSVP and

Reserve your kit no later than Saturday night 1/19!!

The $20 kit option can be paid for when you attend the class!

You also still have the option to pre-order the full WOTG kit shown in the Idea Book that includes the coordinating stamp set for $35 or the WOTG kit with the stamp set and coordinating Complements for $40 (pre-payment is needed with these options).

all of this for just $25?!!

so if you had to miss that one or didn't finish and you want to
use this day to work on Avonlea pages instead, you definitely can!!
