Events & Crops!

For those who love to scrapbook, a crop party is a fun event to take part in.  It is a great time to gather with friends and other scrapbooking enthusiasts, to share creative ideas, learn new techniques and get refocused on your projects.  You don’t have to be a scrapbooker to enjoy this crop, we have many guests who are card makers and stampers as well!

Whether it be scrapbooking, card making, stamping or paper crafting in general you won’t want to miss this crop. You will enjoy gathering with your friends or making new friends who are as crazy over the craft as you are.

Each cropper who attends will have an approximate 4’ x 24” space to create. Each table is set for a max seating of four people. This will give everyone the added space they need to complete their projects. Seating is first come first serve!

The crop area is quiet during the day. Many guests are shopping the showroom floor and attending workshops, so you can come and go as you please and create as you wish. During the evening hours we will be hosting a fun filled “Themed” party with prizes, contests and giveaways to keep you energized throughout the evening. Vendors will also join in the fun as they advertise their products and run exciting specials. Each location varies in crop themes, so be sure to check out the appropriate show location so you can create your table centerpiece or dress for the occasion!

Admission to shop the show room floor is sold separately.
