Before the popularity of scrapbooking, scraps were commonly handed to dogs under tables or street children hanging like bats from old timey lampposts. See how far the scrap has come with today’s Groupon: for $17, you get an introductory scrapbooking class (a $35 value) at Paper Vineyard in Chandler. The paper-craft practitioners at Paper Vineyard educate pupils in the arcane art of synthesizing memories with pulped pieces to create one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Supplies are provided as instructors guide classes in utilizing basic tools, such as scissors, adhesive, and imagination, to execute simple layout techniques, with each student leaving with four complete 12" x 12" layouts to start their own tome of remixed reminiscing. Participants also receive a handout of tips, resources, and 50 layout blueprints to continue their studies at home. Sign up for classes online.
