So I am going to a three day crop this weekend, I know iNSD is NEXT Saturday but I won't be able to scrap. Anyone up for me putting up a chat and challenge or two for this weekend, for those that can't make next weekend and to extend the fun? I seriously need some motivation/chatting since I have yet to pack and the crop starts tomorrow at 10 (yeah I know!)!
ETA: We will chat chat here! YAY!

I'd be interested. I'm one who can't join in on the 'proper' weekend, and I need a bit of motivation to finally finish an album.

Sounds like a fun idea! I was going to get started posting challenges and such Monday, anyway, so this is only a few days early. I don't see myself having a whole lot of time for scrapping until next Friday, but I am always up for inspiration!
What if I get the challenge thread going now, and then anyone can chime in whenever? Maybe we can use this thread for chat?

Alright dso three day crop, local, will come home at night. I have two art bin containers (BMX and Spring/Easter) and about 10 premade by me kits that have pictures etc. think that will keep me. I get bored working on one thing too long so I could never do one album in a sitting. I need variety to keep going. Thoughts/

Sounds like you have enough to keep you going. And if the scrap gods cooperate and you actually finish all you have with you, or if you realize you really NEED something to complete a page, just pack up what you want when you are home!
I don't know how fast you can create at a crop, but supplies for 8-10 pages per day is more than enough for me.
You probably already have thought about this when you put your kits together, but it helps me to think about what my go-to supplies are for a "normal" page. For example, I need cs, pp, large letter stickers for titles, small letter or tiny word stickers for journaling, a journaling pen and something to write my journaling on, and some ink pads for edging. I also use my wafer dies a fair bit, so I pack some of them. (at our crops, the host has a Big Shot on location for us to use, but I have also thrown my Cuttlebug into a tub). Do you use ribbon or twine or washi tape a lot? Then take some. If not, leave it at home.
And on that topic, don't forget your go-to tools: cutter, cutting matt, xacto knife, paper piercer (if you use one), scissors.
If you think you will be stamping, then take your stamps and inks. If you think you might need to stop and just fussy cut or colour for awhile, take supplies for that.

I'm planning to go to a crop next month. I'm going to stamp some images that I can color later if I need something extra for a page, and I can choose the colors then.
I also want to make sure to have ink and paper with me so I can "borrow" images from anyone else who let's me use her stamps (and I'll bring a few of mine so I can pay them back in kind)

I lose my creativity after a while, working on the same topic.

I have to throw a birthday party for DD on Saturday. I'm taking a bunch of kids to the roller rink and then out for pizza. I'm hoping I'll be able to scrap on Sunday though. Next weekend I'll have to work it around a few errands and appointments, but I'll find some scrappy time too.

I will try to play along, but I have so many spring cleaning / house renovation projects on the go I'm not sure how much time I'll get for scrapping. But I will try!!

I have housework to do today, and a pretty busy weekend ahead. Then some appointments on Monday. The only thing remotely scrapwise I am doing is extricating pages about my oldest dgs from my albums to take in for printing so I can put them into a book for him for his grad.
Have fun, Ladies! If you complete any of the challenges, please post what you have done--with a pic if possible--in the challenges thread.

I made up kits for 11 pages, and decided to just pair 4 more with 6x6 paper packs and I can just figure it out when the time comes. I decided I'm really going to pare down what I bring to the crop I'm prepping for. With the kits, I'm making a lot of decisions now so I don't have to bring so much later. Playtime is just about over for me this morning, but I have one more page that's really bugging me before I clean up my table and do some actual work. seveerb , linda , and gigi333 , have fun scrapping! grammadee , have fun cleaning your house! carolynhasacat, I hope you can take a break and play for awhile! Chinagirl828 , sweet dreams!

Long weekend here in Spain so I plan to get some layouts done. I will also play along next weekend and even took a vacation day on Friday to make sure I can join in on the online fun. Look forward to chatting.

I probably won't get any time this weekend, but really appreciate that you all have already posted challenges and are chatting. I'll try to do something through the week. Having it through the week and encompassing 2 weekends is a fabulous idea.

Glad you gals are having fun! Looking forward to seeing what you accomplish, gigi333, catseatcheese and gmcwife1. Wow, crystalb, that's a lot done in your first crop day. Hope you have time to post some of them when you get home. Loving the takes on the challenges so far. I am trying to comment on Flickr this morning but either the internet or my computer (or the site itself) is being difficult right now. Hope to come back later.

Couldn't seem to move around in there at all. They might be working on the site? I have had this happen before, but then could go back later to do what I wanted to do. Hope to see your creations soon! ETA: maribeth, Flickr seems to be working now.

We'll see how that goes And every once in a while you can duck out and take some photos of Men At Work. Perfect for your next scrappy time! Dh is outside with dgs and dsil. Not sure how long that will last, but I did get a few pic's of dgs trying out his new bike with no training wheels.
