Online Classes
Do you enjoy making minibooks or are you a beginner wanting to learn? I can so help you with that! Come and join in the "Paper Scissors Story" group on FB to make papercrafts projects along with me - we get together every Wednesday at 7.30pm UK time to make minibooks and related accessories as well as have lots of fun and chat. Classes are streamed both on YouTube and Facebook.
Classes are totally free and will be saved in the group if you can't get along at the designated time, so don't worry if you miss class - you can easily catch up! Join here .
We started The Elaine Book and Box in mid June - a big 12x10 inch box from scratch filled with a mini with a new expandable binding and a puppet show...you can even add sound if you want! You can catch up or join us every Wednesday in my Paper Scissors Story Facebook group. Currently we are working on an accordion album using 49 and Market Moonlit Garden that is a base for making a minibook design of your own - lots of tips and tricks for interactive page elements and decorating.
