This is a technique driven weekend.

The themes and photo choices for your projects are entirely up to you. I like to work with single photos, however I recognise that we all scrapbook in different ways for different reasons .If your style demands more that one photo that is fine ,the workshops will teach you new techniques which you can then develop to suit your own projects.
