The fortnightly classes are run by Kylie Poulton and you will complete your pages using mainly papers & paper embellishments. The pages are usually quite flat and require you to bring your paper trimmer, scissors, adhesives, & foam tape. Additional tools are used in class and Kylie will let you know what is needed prior to the classes.
