What to pack???

What should I pack for the crop tomorrow????



I know my cutter, and I'm putting together little kits for a couple of pages out of stuff I have, but what else? Just anything I don't want to have to buy?



HELP me PLEASE!



LOL Hugs, Rach


Heh heh. This is why we seriously addicted folks have big, rolling Cropper Hoppers. We pack everything.

Not that we *use* everything ...

I'm not much help.

Adhesive, pen or pens to write with... your kit idea is a good one.

Rach, I usually choose the paper and cardstock to go with my photos, and then what embellishments or whatever I want to use and put them together. Then I try to take extra cardstock and papers in case I change my mind about what I want to work on..happens to me all the time..lol I have one of those rolling totes too, and always pack too much, but ya never know what you might need! Basically any eyelets ( and tools for setting them), brads,fibers, buttons, things like that you should consider, unless you want to choose to buy that at the store! Have fun!! Linda

I have a laptop bag that I don't use that might work, and my eyelets and setters are in a smaller shoulder bag. I'm sure that they don't want me to bring TOO much so I'll buy more.

Do you know what kinds of tools they have to offer? When I go to a crop at the LSS they have a Quickuts and lots of dies, eyelet setting tool kit, lots of other cutting tools (circle, ovals, etc), staplers, templates, and lots of the newer tools. That's how they get you to buy them - letting you use them first. I usually just take my own trimmer, pens and colored markers, page kits, and adhesives. One place I went even have a computer available and let me do computer journaling for my pages. Sandy

You are off to a good start. Page kits are great, I found that I get more done when I use them. Bring extra paper, adhesives, pens, embellishments you might use. I think it's like packing for a trip, I always take much more than I need. Have fun! Can't wait to hear all about it.

The only thing I know of is a Sizzix machine. They let us use that at a class I took, but this is my first crop so I'm not sure the same thing goes.

The thing I need to buy is something for cutting shapes. I can't handle scissors smoothly because of the nerve damage in my hands and I want to be able to cut frames and things.
