Description
Scrapbooking with a group of people is inspiring and a lot of fun. The group encourages one another to try something new, to go outside of their comfort zone. We share ideas, supplies, tools, and lots of laughter.
Each month we will learn about one of the basics of page design which will give you the groundwork from which you can develop your own style. These page designs work with whatever page size you’re working with – even cards. :)
By setting aside a day a month we push ourselves to get some scrapping done. It may be the only day we scrapbook or it could start us on a roll. :)
Come join us. Meet some new scrappers; learn some new scrapbooking tips and techniques and have some fun preserving your photos and memories.

Testimonials
“Scrapbooking with Catherine has opened my eyes to the importance of telling the story that belongs to a photograph. We are learning how to identify what needs to be expressed - beyond the photo itself - through the placement, the colours and tones of the background papers, or through additional embellishments. We are learning to use these techniques to make our personal stories and memories into beautiful pages, pages which become documents of a time and place for a future generation.” - Cathy Fretz
“Scrapbooking is helping me connect my genealogy charts, memoirs, history and photos in a lasting visual format. All the materials for the class are included making the getting started process easy. Catherine Mochrie has a lot of experience in scrapbooking and she offers many tips and ideas to help beginners and experienced "scrappers". The facilities at the museum are excellent and parking is a bonus." - RL
