What to bring

What to bring to a day scrapbooking/crafting event.

Have you ever wondered what you should bring to a crafting event? Or have you gone to an event and found that half of the stuff that you brought you didn’t even take out of the bag? I think at one time or another we have all been there. To make your experience better and less stressful I have put together a list. You should keep in mind that everyone is different and there may be some items that you don’t use or some items that you never thought to bring.

What to pack, the essentials:

  • Photos… this means you need to develop them before the crop! I don’t usually add my photo’s until I get home, but that is just part of my own planning.
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Spare blade for the trimmer
  • Adhesive: tape runner, glue dots, foam tape, Sookwang tape, liquid adhesive, Xyron
  • Scissors
  • Journaling pen(s)
  • Cardstock
  • Pencil and eraser
  • Scrap paper for sketching ideas/journaling
  • Sanding/distressing tool
  • Distressing Ink
  • Paper piercer
  • Craft blade and mat
  • Ruler (0r just use the one on your trimmer)
  • Memorabilia
  • Your journal or notes you use for journaling
  • Embellishments you PLAN to use: brads, buttons, glitter gel, ribbon
  • Stamping supplies: stamps you PLAN to use, inks, cleaner
  • Patterned paper you PLAN to use
  • Stickers/Stamps for creating titles
  • Cricut mat? Or other personal items to use on machines
  • Cup holder? Not an essential but very handy!
  • Water Bottle
  • A light jacket or sweater. Dress in layers.
  • Chair pillow
  • Headphones
  • Lighting – Our lighting is good at this location, but it’s always a good idea to have extra light in case you need it.

NOTE: If you forgot something, and we all do!  There are vendors that have items to purchase or you can ask other neighboring scrappers.

We hope that this helps you prepare for our exciting event!
