Summer School ENROL now! Starts Monday.

One of the wonderful things about the Summer Holidays is the lovely bit of extra time we have. No racing to get the kids to school or sports practice. No deadlines or appraisals. Oooh and warm long evenings. PERFECT opportunity to invest a little creative time into yourself at New Zealand Scrapbook's Summer School papercraft program.

Ten of 2010's top scrapbooking and papercraft workshops for your education and enjoyment.


Come to one or all ten as you wish... Attend SIX or more of our workshops during the Summer School Period (10th - 22nd January) and receive a completion certificate along with a $40 NZ Scrapbook voucher for you to spend in store.

While each of the these projects are awesome repeats from during the year (in case you missed them first time around!) the emphasis is on the techniques and methods learned in each class. PLUS there is a tips and technique handout included with each workshop as a special Summer School EXCLUSIVE.
