What is cropping? There are so many people learning how to do Scrapbooking, perhaps you aren't even sure what "cropping" means. Cropping is when you gather with friends or by yourself to work on your scrapbooking. This can be in your home, here at Your Scrapping Café, at a retail scrapbooking store or wherever you can take some time out of your busy schedule to start preserving your memories/pictures. Crops are designed to allow you to meet new friends in a group setting while working on your scrapbooks. Many women go to crops dragging along several rolling totes. Others carry in boxes and bags!  It doesn’t matter how they arrive or how much stuff they bring with them…the crop is sure to provide several hours of scrapbooking and socialization! A crop will also give you a great place to share scrapbook tools and idea books! Not to mention the inspiration of fellow scrapbookers.

The underlying reason that most people attend crops is to get out of the house and gather with friends. Crops have been compared to the quilting bees of the past. Quilting bees were a social outing for women to gather and work on their quilts. Scrapbookers may not be quilting with fabric but they are weaving their families’ memories into storybooks that will share their life with future generations.

Some people attend crops merely for the socialization while others go to complete as many scrapbook pages as possible. No matter what your intent is, you will surely benefit from a fun gathering with like-minded scrapbookers! Crop at Your Scrapping Cafe! You will love the friendships and inspiration that you will find at these fun social gatherings! If you still aren't sure what cropping is all about, stop in and check it out.
