Projects introduce scrapbookers to a variety of new techniques and ideas. A schedule of projects and necessary materials will be provided the first night. WARNING!!! These projects are a lot of fun and addictive!  The last group is for those who are simply looking for time to scrapbook with lots of light, plenty of space and no children!
