March Scrapbooking Workshop...

Introducing some of the brilliant work that was produced on Saturday 24th March 2012...
These creative ladies spent their Saturday learning new layout styles, designs and techniques and finding new ways to preserve memories in the form of... You guessed it! Scrapbooking. :o)
