I had planned to be creative today, but my viscious cold has decided to revisit me, so my head feels like a football.
I DO have plans to spend the afternoon tomorrow at the LSS. I need to be there in the morning to register Jac and me for the spring crop. Then I will take my vehicle in for service, and return to the LSS for the afternoon before meeting Jac for supper.
My original plan was to simply pack my cutter, a basic tool kit, a cutting mat, glue gun, and my photos and then to purchase just what I needed for the pages I worked on. This is a good plan, as I also have some preorders that are in at the store, ready for pick up tomorrow.
But then I started thinking about the photos I am packing, and what I want to use to scrap them, and... so I have now added a couple of premade kits plus a couple of kits I put together myself.
Also threw in copies of the 2 peas March challenges, and the GIS Calvinball rules which outline special points for particular themes, colors, designs, elements.
My shoulder bag is full. PLEASE STOP ME from packing any more!!! |

I'm a "I might need that" packer for crops. I always take too much.
That's why I loved going to crops at Archiver's. I wouldn't pack any cardstock, I'd just buy it there. I knew if I forgot something, I could find something in the store.

I have never been good at packing. Just put it out of your mind now. You are set. I am excited to see you tomorrow, Dee. Thanks for registering me.

I have a friend coming over to scrap and I'm trying to put together things so I don't spend the whole time she is here digging through my stash... I remember trying to pack to scrap outside the house and always forgot something, once it was my photos! Good luck!

I take very little with me, especially compared to my friends who bring in carts and wagons and bins. I have an XXL that has cardstock, trimmers, and 3 zipper bags inside. One zipper bag has adhesive, one has inks, a few punches, misc stuff. The third one is the most important and I take this one with me when I don't take anything else. It has my scissors, pens, adhesive rollers, my trimmer, etc. Sometimes I take just that bag and a plastic tote with some misc cardstock, pictures and other stuff I'm going to use thrown in.
I can get in and out of a crop in one trip, even a weekend retreat, as long as I can pile a tote or two on top of my XXL.

I spent Sunday with friends, card making. I took every thing. LOL. Two rolling totes, my cutter and an art bin 12x12 with paper and kits. I didn't use even half of out. But I'm in the camp of "if you've got it, bring it"

I got nothing. I always bring too much, and then I still end up missing stuff that I should have brought!

I keep Post-It notes in my scrap bag. If I want to use something I left home, I'll place a note on my layout and do it later.

Well, I finished 5 pages, except one needs a title, and I know I have the sticker sheet here at home with those words on it. If I can't find that sheet--a distinct possibility in THIS scraproom-- I can always use individual letter stickers or cut a title on my Cricut.
So, I prob used the equivalent of 10 pages, maybe pieces of about 15 pages total, and I took about 50 pages in all. Plus I had a huge stack there waiting for me that I had preordered (and which I didn't use at all) Ended up purchasing 3 sheets of cs and some Glossy Accents I needed to glue the wood pieces from one of my kits, plus some red glitter as well.
All in all, a pretty successful day. Over packed as usual, but that is normal for me.
I will post my pages tomorrow after I have a chance to take some pic's.
