The best way to get people excited about your scrapbooking crop or retreat is to choose a theme for the event and carry it through with themed party decorations, a clever invitation, coordinating party invitations, music to get the party started. Follow up with a photo op, a make and take project or a unique crop game.

Susan and Meredith at Key Lime Crops have come up with complete party theme packages that take all the work out of planning a scrapbook crop or retreat. When you are a store owner or retreat planner or even a convention planner you want to make sure that customers leave happy so they will come again and spend money. Try the Scrap Therapy crop or One Spa-tacular Day, or my favorite, Puttin’ on the Glitz! There’s also a free crop sampler to try before you buy.

Have fun!

Mine favorite way is to set up folding square tables to place them together to create one large square made up from all of the tables. This allows you to place two people per table, one on each corner, maximizing workspace but allowing individuals to see what others are working on, as well as keeping conversation active.

I just launched my crop on meetup group online and put some fliers around town and I already have 18 people coming after only a week. We are having it from 9-5 at a local church which is only asking for a small donation, food, drinks, vendors, demos, and prizes. I can’t believe how easy it was to start and how many people are wanting to come…take the leap and try it!

Sounds like a great idea but i live in a small village and the town is about 1 and half hours away. Maybe i might try to find one in my area but i doubt there will be one

I’ve tried some scrapbooking crops online, they offer nothing more than a scheduled chat between members. While others have scheduled demonstrations, talk about certain techniques, and so on. You need to make sure you are reading all the information available about this particular crop to know exactly what you are being offered and whether or not it is worth your visit.

Non-messy or greasy finger foods are the best for crops. (No one wants oily hands when working with paper.) Provide something sweet and something salty, such as pretzels and M&M’s, and ask each guest to bring a small snack as well. You can serve alcoholic beverages if you want a fun “girl’s night in,” but remember too much alcohol and scissors do not mix!

The underlying reason that most people attend crops is to get out of the house and gather with friends. Crops have been compared to the quilting bees of the past. Quilting bees were a social outing for women to gather and work on their quilts. Scrapbookers may not be quilting with fabric but they are weaving their families memories into storybooks that will share their life with future generations.

Many women go to crops dragging along several rolling totes. Others come pushing Iris carts while others carry in boxes and bags! It doesn’t matter how they arrive or how much stuff they take with them…the crop is sure to provide several hours of scrapbooking and socialization! A crop will also give you a great place to share scrapbook tools and idea books! Not to mention the inspiration of fellow scrapbookers.

I really like scrap books, with my kids it really helps to remember what has happened and keep a record of all the cool things my kids have got up to.

@james yes there are plenty of online tools for scrapbooking and it is true that thanks to the internet there are plenty of sites and ideas to find.
