I organize two weekend crops a year. A large cousin one in May and a smaller one in Sept. It was this past weekend. i competed 64 pages and had to leave for four hours for my daughter's homecoming! I uploaded some to the gallery. I must have been standing at a bad angle when taking the photos because a lot were crooked and after cropping them th layouts looks crooked. I promise I am not a crooked scrapper. Here are a few: the the trim on the first one needs to be fixed and the second is one of the crooked looking ones.    |

I know the feeling, I always feel like a crooked scrapper when I take my photos, that is why I can not wait to get my Shotbox. So neat to get the opportunity to go to a crop. I can not find anything in my State (New Mexico) and I have no scrappy friends to organize one of my own. I so miss the crop experience. Great Pages, thanks for sharing. |

64 layouts!!! I love the Believe layout -- those pale purples are perfect for the photo. Is that your daughter -- she's got a gorgeous smile.
I wish I had a crop to go to. I've just started back into scrapbooking and I feel like I'm way behind the times. I like working with a bunch of people to get ideas (in addition to the fun.)

maribeth- that Shotbox you linked is really neat! tduby1- 64 layouts- that's impressive! Did you make up kits to take with you? I saw your other post about the Michigan scrap and quilt retreats. How fun!

I am one of the organizers for a breast cancer fundraiser crop which we had on Saturday. It was a lot of work but we had about 7 vendors, 30 scrappers and raised just over $1000. I even got about 10 pages done and won the album contest, although I deferred the prize to the runner up since I provided the prizes, lol!
It was the type of crop I like to go to and just let someone else do the work, but other than the two who were upset because we didn't have coffee (everything was donated and coffee wasn't) people said it is their favorite crop of the year. so that's nice to know.
However putting up and taking down all those tables was backbreaking. Ugh! |

I know the feeling, I always feel like a crooked scrapper when I take my photos, that is why I can not wait to get my Shotbox. I bought something similar quite a few years ago, it looks like this: Photo studio in a box
It doesn't have the flat platform thing for a phone camera like the Shotbox, but it does have a camera stand like the one shown in the link. I'm sure you could use a Gorillapod though for a cell phone camera. It's great for smaller things like greeting cards, but not so great for the two page layouts I typically make. The one I linked is also way cheaper than what I paid 10+ years ago! I want to say I paid about $80-90 when I bought mine. |

64 layouts, I am mega impressed. I can usually get around 30 done at the four day crop I attend.
