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!
