How does an online crop work? It seems if you are keeping up with a chat stream, you won't have time to craft.

The ones from Scrap Addicts are done through FB. They post challenges and you post your creations into the proper album. It isnt a Zoom or Hangouts nonstop meeting. You can do as many challenges you wish and join in as much or as little as you want.
Im not sure how Scrapbook Generations run their crops. It will be my 1st online crop with them.

I'm hoping we'll have a virtual crop right here  Ditto! And this will be the first year that I won't have work on NSD. Never thought it would be due to pandemic. |

I'm so sad to not have a crop to attend in person on iNSD.  I'll get over it. But I'm sad right now. |

Oh, I'm looking forward to this. I hadn't been motivated since before "the lockdown" until last weekend, when I got the nerve to join the online crop we had here. I'd love to join in again, I have grand plans to finish my trip project and I better plan to order some photos. |

We need someone with a ZOOM account and a paid subscription to set up on on-line crop for us. It can run for 24 hours without stopping

We usually hold a Cinco de Mayo party the first Saturday in May so I always miss NSD. This will be my first year getting to participate in 20 years.
Scrapbook Generation online crops are really fun. Their crops span the whole weekend and are usually theme based. This year is "You're a Rockstar" with all of the games and challenges involing cute word plays on being a rockstar. They give away free sketches and post all kinds of challenges - layouts, cards, coloring, bible journaling, etc, games with prizes, and an online bingo game each night for store credit.

And they usually give you a month to post to the challenges, so you don't have to feel rushed or overwhelmed to get done! The games are usually due by Sunday night, but those are usually just answering questions, or maybe posting a picture. |

My LSS (still 1.5 hours away from me) is doing a Crop in a Box since they can't have it in person. You order a Crop in a Box-it comes with a door prize just like if you were there in person, a FB group will be set up, there will be a few challenges throughout the day, and chances to win more prizes! Sounds fun to me! I will also be here if I can and the crop at SG if I can!

I'm not sure how long you can keep a hangout open, but I don't think there is a time limit. I'll be at SG and video scrapping with my niece and mom one day that weekend. And if there is something going on here, I would totally be popping in. |

Thanks for the mentions of the SG Scrap Squad online crop -- this one runs Thursday through Sunday, and takes place on an event page that is linked to the Scrap Squad Facebook group page. Here is an overview of what to expect at the You Are a Rock Star online crop... • Challenges: Expect challenges for scrapbooking, cardmaking, coloring, and general papercrafting (planners, Bible art journaling, pocket pages, mini-albums, home decor, etc.). Some will be more detailed than others, but I always create them with the mission of making them inclusive, not exclusive. In other words, anyone should have the ability to create the project for a specific challenge. And we always have challenges that are non-specific, meaning that if you just want to scrapbook, or make cards, without a specific direction from me, there's a category for that! • Prizes: Challenge prizes will be shopping $$ at scrapbookgeneration.com, awarded randomly. Game prizes are SG Rewards points, except for Let's Rock Bingo, which has shopping $$ prizes. (We'll play bingo four times, with bingo hostess Karin) • Chatting: There will be an official chat thread on the event page so that you can get to know the people you are cropping with, and so that Karin and I can keep you updated on what to expect next. • Keeping up with challenges: There will be a post, pinned to the top of the event page, that has a list of each challenge and game, and a corresponding link. It's a quick way to get to where you want to be, without scrolling through the whole event. • Knowing what to expect: On Monday I'll share a crop schedule as a PDF page that you can download and print. The schedule will include times that all games and challenges will be posted, as well as challenge titles. Don't be misled by the challenge titles. While our theme this time is "You Are a Rock Star" and I'll try to name the challenges in keeping with that theme, the challenges will be broad and general...the themed titles are just for fun! • Planning your time: Even if you are busy during the days of the crop, please consider signing up for the event. You'll have until May 31 to post your challenge entries for the chance to win a prize. To participate, you must be a Scrap Squad member. We would love to have you join us...here's a link to the group: www.facebook.com/groups/sgscrapsquad/ |

How does an online crop work? It seems if you are keeping up with a chat stream, you won't have time to craft. That's why I prefer a virtual crop. It's just a camera and a microphone so you can keep your hands on your papercrafts while you chit chat and tell bad jokes. Bet you'd love it. Pop in and say hello! But a lot of crafters really like the games and contests and keeping up with the chat stream of an online crop. And it's something you can do while you take a break from your project or when you're waiting for your paint to dry. Just different ways to connect with other crafters and do something fun. |

I live in Colorado and am very excited to be able to ‘attend’ this event! |

But, I am so happy for you that you also get to do something like this! I am excited too and can't wait to see what goodies are in my box! |

Hi Tammy, thanks for linking up your site! I'd never heard of Cookin' Up Creations before so I went and took a peek at your blog and your gallery. You have a great group of talented crafters from all over. What's your group's history? How did you all meet up? Hope you keep posting with us! |

You have a great group of talented crafters from all over. What's your group's history? How did you all meet up? Hope you keep posting with us! Back in the Day when 2 Peas and Lifetime Moments were around . . . . they closed, and everything went towards Facebook Groups. I got a divorce and took a hiatus from scrapping. When I came back all the sites that I had frequented were gone . . .so my (now husband) learned html and created a message board for me. The original site was up for about 5+ years, but again I took another hiatus (work, life, family, etc) but missed my scrapping friends, so I brought it back....sent links to all my scrapbooking friends & previous members and we've been going strong now for over 3+ years. Monthly themed challenges every month. . . |
