WHAT IS A CROP?

I don’t want to assume everyone knows what a crop is, so here is a quick explanation: A crop is a gathering of scrapbookers, card-makers, or crafters. There are small and large crops, so it may be 5 people or 500 people.

The crop will take place in a location that has enough room for everyone to have a table to work at. Personally, I like crops whereone gets a whole table to themselves. Some crops will have you share a table with one other person.

The crop may last a few hours or a few days. I love going to crops because the time is very focused on crafting. No laundry, no making dinner, no household chores…just scrapbooking!! I can get a lot done when I am away from the house.

WHAT TO TAKE TO A CROP

The first question to ask yourself is: what do I want to accomplish at the crop. Do you plan to scrapbook? Do you plan to make cards? Maybe you want to complete a fancy mini-album. Knowing the answer to this question will help you know what to take to a crop.

You will need basic tools for almost any project. Things like scissors, paper trimmer, adhesive, etc., are staples of papercrafting.

But if I am working on only cards, then I won’t need to bring any albums or page kits with me. Visa versa if I am working on scrapbook layouts then I don’t need my card supplies.

The crop checklist has items for both card-making and scrapbooking on it. You can just cross off things that you know you won’t need to take.

CROP PACKING CHECKLIST PRINTABLE

I have created a printable crop packing checklist for you. It will help you bring what you need to accomplish the most work.

This is a list based on my experiences and what I take. Everyone is different and takes different items. So, I also made a blank checklist that you can write in the supplies you want to remember.

Click the button below to download both checklists. These are for your own personal use. If your friends want the checklists, please send them here to print them off.

You can save the PDF to your computer and print them off before every crop. Or you can print these off on cardstock and then laminate the checklists and reuse them.
