What To Take To a SCRAPBOOK CROP

Hola! Hope all is well! Did you happen to get a chance to take a peek at episode 2 of TABLE SCRAPS on my Youtube Channel? Ruckus and I discuss the items needed at a scrapbook crop. We didn't get to mention everything...but here is a list of what I find helpful...hope you do too. BEFRORE YOU ATTEND &/OR PAY FOR A CROP.....

• How long is the crop you are attending...2, 4, 6, 12 hours? Overnight?


• How much work space will you have?


• Will snacks/beverages/meals be provided or available for purchase?


• Will there be a refrigerator to keep beverages/food cold?


• Will there be a microwave?


• Will machines such as photo printers, Cricit, Xyron, embossing, die cut, etc. be available?


• Will there be an inspiration station with books and magazines to get ideas from?


• Will items such as embellies, cardstock, stickers, etc. be available for purchase?


• Does the crop have a theme...Old West? 70s? Sock Hop? Disco? etc.


• Can your arrange ahead of time to sit with your scrappy sisters/brothers?


• Is Wi-Fi available?
