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 or American
Express credit card, or in person. Classes may be cancelled due to lack of size,
in which case a full refund will be given. Children ages 8 – 14 may pay the fee
and attend classes if accompanied by an adult. If the accompanying adult wishes
to also complete the project the class fee will apply. PLEASE NOTE: Paid class
spaces are non-refundable, but may be transferred to another person should you
be unable to attend.
Classes are provided by Scrapbooker’s Paradise, your teachers and independent
teachers from the community. All supplies are included for all classes in the
material fee unless requested by the teacher. Please bring your own scissors,
adhesives and personal trimmers to the classes, except for the Basics classes.
All projects for classes are on display in the store. Please be sure to take
Scrapbooking Basics before signing up for the more detailed classes, as these
classes tend to run at a much faster pace then a basics or beginner class.
PLEASE NOTE: Some class projects
may vary in color, style and products used, as teachers always strive to
incorporate the newest products into their classes. Additional product may be
required to complete a project, but a list will be provided to you upon
enrolment. We ask that no babies or children under the age of 8 be in attendance
at classes. All cell phone users are to be considerate of the teacher and fellow
students, so please put your cell on vibrate and then step out of the room to
make or take a call.
Want to see how some of the
new scrapbooking tools work? Come into our store anytime and we will show
you how to use the Cricut, Cuttlebug, Quickutz Tools and the Crop-o-dile. If
you own a Cricut and want to see what some of the cartridges can do, we have
4 cartridges we can show you. (A really cool one is the Tags, Bags and Boxes
cartridge). If there are any other 'tools' for scrapbooking that you would
like us to show you, just pop by our store and we would be happy to help you
learn how all the latest and greatest tools can make your scrapbooking hobby
so much easier and faster.
