REVIEWS
“When my eldest son was getting married, I wanted my future daughter in law to have a bridal shower that was unlike anything I’d ever seen. When I found Tori, she orchestrated the idea of gathering everyone together and teaching us step by step how to make a scrapbook page using her multimedia art techniques. The end result was a beautiful story book made with love by her friends and family that she was able to take home and display afterwards. It was evident throughout the process that Tori was well prepared, patient, and passionate about combining her love for art with our love for my new daughter in law. Her vibrancy and creativity showed throughout the entire process, and she was excellent teacher throughout the entire scrapbooking process.” –Tammy
I met Tori when I was invited by a friend to attend her scrapbooking class at the art league shop in Clermont. It was such a fun experience! Tori is a fun, bubbly, encouraging teacher. Her art is fun and inspiring! I recently bought some incredibly cute items from her shop for my home. She seemed surprised that I was going to frame her notecards, but I couldn’t “use” them as they were far too whimsically cute! So, that’s just what I did, and I am enjoying them immensely! Thanks Tori! If you get a chance to take one of her classes you’ll have a blast! -Karen
