Time: 7-9pm
Class fee: $20 which includes layout materials, dessert, tea & coffee and entry in to win Teresa Collins prizes.

Teresa Collins has an elegant classic style and her recent Notations range is no exception. In a combination of cream and black her timeless designs lend themselves to all range of layout themes. In this layout we have combined the cream and black with an accent of plum, a perfect compliment to black and white photos.
