Free Style Frenzy!
A NEW concept in Scraplifting
Come to one of our new Free Style Frenzies and enjoy the freedom to explore your
creativity (even if you don’t think you have any!) You will still have the
opportunity to work on your own pages, as usual, with an instructor on hand to
answer your questions, but the surprise comes in the evening’s project!
Unlike a traditional frenzy where everyone makes the same class project, at our
Free Style Frenzies, you will enjoy the freedom to develop your own page based
on a design from the experts. Enjoy the freedom to interpret what the experts
have already done, and make the headache of design disappear! This means having
more fun with your photos and less time trying to create the perfect layout….
What could be better?
So how does it work? At our Free Style Frenzy everyone will receive a copy of a
layout sketch and the instructor will display a finished two-page layout based
on that sketch. You then get to make the layout your own by choosing your own
colours of cardstock and patterned paper – at no charge – chosen to suit your
photos perfectly. The instructor for the evening will tell you how many
patterned papers and how many cardstocks you need to choose to make the layout,
and, if you need it, will help you select the perfect colours for your own
photos. It doesn’t get easier than that!
We will even provide a selection of fun embellishments for you to choose from to
add the finishing touches to your pages! You can also add any other techniques
and embellishments you wish from your own stash of supplies, or shop for some of
the great new products in the store. This makes creating expert pages a snap –
we provide the design and the ideas – you add the personal flair!
Free Style Frenzies are offered in addition to our regular Frenzies. So round up
your friends and come and be creative together! This is an excellent opportunity
for both new scrapbookers wanting to learn more about layout design and the
seasoned ones looking for a fresh approach to their scrapbooking!

CLASS POLICIES
After the seasonal sign-up event you may reserve a place in any class that
still has availability over the phone with a VISA, Mastercard of American
Express credit card, or in person. Classes may be cancelled due to a lack of
size, in which case a full refund will be given. Children under the age of 8 are
not allowed in the classroom. Children ages 8 – 14 may attend classes if
accompanied by an adult, and the class fees are paid. If the adult wishes to
complete the project as well, then a spot must be reserved for them as well.
