You won’t want to miss the Celebration at our over the top Crop Parties! We’ll have games and contests, and you’ll compete for the ultimate prize each night of a FREE Scrapbook Mega Retreat!  The Table Decorating Contest will return, and we’ll have lots of crop night shopping deals! 

There will be great prizes and we’ll turn the  party music on, and have a Celebration!   All this for only $17/person—or reserve a table for four for $60, and be sure of sitting with your friends!

We can accommodate 350 croppers on Thursday and 650 on Friday! Be sure to pre-register to ensure your seat at these fantastic crop parties!

Vendor Crop Tables - When you run out of adhesive or need the perfect paper, you won't be left high and dry! Many exhibitors will have merchandise for sale at Crop tables throughout the crop!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What should I bring to the crop?
Plan ahead, and bring your scrapbook project ready to assemble!  Pre-cropped and pre-planned pages will go together easily, and allow you to enjoy this HUGE crop!   Plan to be able to bring in your supplies in one trip, because you won't want to make several!  It will be a long walk!

Will I be able to shop during the crop?
Some exhibitors will have merchandise for sale at tables during the crop. They won't be bringing the whole booth! So, if there is something special you need, or you see during the day, don't wait until the crop to purchase it! More details on which exhibitors are sponsoring crop tables will be available closer to the show date.

Can I sit with my friends at the crop?
When you register, you can reserve a table for four for you and your friends. If you have not made a table reservation, then, seating is first come, first serve, beginning at 6:00 pm.  There are 4 croppers to a table.

Are there any age restrictions?
All croppers must have a ticket to enter the cropping hall, and we ask that you leave infants and children under the age of 10 at home with Dad or a sitter!

What about my Cricut/Silhouette/Pazzles/eClips or other machine?
Three Power Stations will be set up around the crop room for evening croppers.  The space is first come first serve.  If you are coming with a group - you should try to just bring one machine for the group to share for the evening.

What if I get hungry?
The concession stand will remain open during the first part of the crop! 

What is your beverage policy?
Only beverages with lids will be permitted on the cropping tables, for the safety of your albums, and the safety of the albums of others working at your table!  Beverages without tight fitting lids should be kept on the floor.

Will there be prizes?
Will there be prizes?!?  Oh yes!  There will be prizes!  You won't want to miss any of the opportunities to win prizes, big and small!

Can I buy crop tickets at the door?
If there are crop tickets available after all of the pre-registrations are processed, they will be for sale beginning opening day of the convention, in the information booth!

A note about allergies:
We do not regulate what other croppers bring to decorate their tables, or as snacks, so if you have severe allergies, please use caution while attending our events.
