Scrapbooking 101
This is the perfect class for either those who have never seen an scrapbook album or for those more advanced scrapbookers who want a class that covers photo organization, photo preservation, essential supplies and product recommendations, layout design (class project), and resources for ideas. You won't need to remember or write a thing as we provide you with a 9pg handout filled with LOTS of information which you can refer to after the class. This is the best and invaluable scrapbooking foundation course I have come across! Credit to Creative Bug Designs. Duration: 2 hours. Cost is FREE
