Calling all scrappers!!! Scrapbooking workshops, scrap retreats, scrapping weekends, it all sounds like so much fun and fellowship with others that have a common interest.
I had been contemplating organizing and hosting a crop event in my area. There seems to be a number of people in the area interested in scrapbooking. There doesn’t, to my knowledge seem to be any of these such events to gather together scrappers. We do have on
e business that has an assortment of scrap booking supplies that holds a four hour workshop/class once a month. This is a smaller community and we are some distance from the larger cities where larger selections of products are available. After spending the previous five years with access to the varieties of stores and products, it is an adjustment not having the availability around the corner any more. I had come used to access to 13 hour scraps, Midnight Madness crops and National Scrapbook Day events. It would be great to get something of this nature started in the area.
Through my research for organizing and hosting a crop event, I have compiled some ideas that will help make the event fun and successful:
1. Location….need plenty of room. Scrappers have a lot of products and need room to spread out to do our work. There are a couple of location ideas in the area that would have ample room and there own tables and chairs.
2. Theme….having a fun theme would be a fun idea. Maybe a casino night, beach parties, slumber party, holiday theme, such as a Christmas or a Fall crop.
3. Food…..people always like food. Of course it would have to be non-messy, non- sticky finger foods. We also get thirsty and need to stay hydrated.
4. Demonstrations…..we scrappers are always looking for new layout ideas or make and take items that may be nothing more that a border or corner embellishment. It may be nothing more than a fellow scrapper showing a technique they have learned and would like to share.
I invite you to submit any of your ideas and suggestions that you or your fellow croppers have encountered at Crops that you enjoyed.
