A trip to a crop or scrapbook gives you the opportunity to learn about scrapbooking and paper backlogs or try some tips that you don't have the chance to try out at home with other paper craftsmen.

Step 1: About 6 weeks from the crop date: Create a cropped To Do list

This list is a list of drafts of projects, scrapbook layouts, cards, etc. that you want to perform according to the following criteria:

• Trying skills


• The product or gadget to use


• Clip layout complete and / or catch up


• Gifts and / or cards you need

This list is very fluid, which means you will be added to this list in the next few weeks. When you think about the items you want to work with, just add them to the list. Please note that there is no special order for the list. When you think about things, just write them down. Don't worry about how long or how short the list is.

Step 2: About 4 weeks from the crop date: Reduce the scope of the project list
It's very likely that the list of "to do" you've been doing for the past two weeks is very long, and probably you can't from

 Do all the work when your scrapbook retreats. Therefore, you need to narrow down the list and make it easier to manage. When narrowing the list, you need to consider some of the following criteria:

• How many hours do you plan to make when you retreat?


• How long does it usually take to complete the project?


• Upcoming events [birthday party, graduation ceremony, holidays, etc.]


• The new product you really want to use


• Tips you want to try


• Image you want to discard


• Projects you have started and want to complete

Step 3: About 3-4 weeks from the crop date: Start planning your project

This step is probably the most difficult part because it requires you not to do the actual work, but now by planning your project, you will be able to scrapbook and from

 And in the scrapbook crop activity. Spend more than a week in the second step to consider the items in the To Do list. Draft your project. Think about the papers, photos and decorations you want to use. Consider whether you want to type or hand in a journal. Once your project has a rough game plan, then:

• Order any reprints or enlargements you may need


• Order/purchase any consumables you need, such as paper, decorations, extra adhesives, etc.

Step 4: About 10 days from the crop date: Create a project kit
After planning all the items in the To Do list and purchasing any supplies you need, the next step is to create a project kit for each item in the To Do list. Collect all the items [paper, photos, and decorations] needed for a given project and combine them. The 13x13 project folder is available for the scrapbook layout. The advantages of creating a project kit are:

• Everything you need in a given project is concentrated in one place


• Everything is coordinated, so you are not searching for that one to complete the project


• You won't end up packing everything in the scrap area to take you to the scrapbook. You just take what you need. By taking only what you need, you will end up doing more work on the crop. That being said, you can carry extra supplies with you, but follow these steps and you won't end up taking them. from

Step 5: The day before the crop date: the final touch
Your 10-day game plan before the crop date includes all the final touches. These steps are like icing on the cake, which will help you increase your crop productivity.

• Continue to work hard to create a project kit


• For layouts that contain a type journal, type and print the journal and include it in the project kit


• Coordinate with your friends so that everyone doesn't use the same tools - if possible, such as die-cutting machines sharing large items


• Confirm which items are on the service desk. In many scrapbook crops, the tool station includes a variety of tools that can be used, such as punches and ink pads.


• Make sure you have enough adhesive. Beyond the estimate and bring more than what you think you need

Step 6: The day before the crop: packaging
Use the To Do list as a packing slip. However, in addition to your project kit, paper, trim and adhesive, you also need to bring the following items to the crop:

• Lights and extension cords [usually the illumination is not the best for crops]


• Cutting mat


• Paper cutting and scissors


• Mini trash can fold flat for easy storage and transportation


• The cup holder is attached to the table, so your cup is not on the work surface


• Your "go" tools and supplies

By following the checklist in this article and planning ahead, you will be sure to get a full, fun time in the upcoming scrapbook crop retreat!
