Tips

We have had a few emails asking us what to bring to a crop, so we thought we would give you some quick tips.

1. make yourself a few scrapbook kits

Example

4-6 photos of the same related theme
(i.e. 1st birthday party)

1-2 piece(s) of Cardstock paper that compliments your photos

1-2 piece(s) of Pattern paper that compliments your photos

1-4 Embellishments that match the paper/theme

Embellishments - stickers, button, ribbon, gems, stamps etc....

Then place in a bag and you are ready to go and create a masterpiece! Make a few of these kits and you can create a few layouts during the crop.
