Scrapbook Expo at the Convention Center
If you’ve never been to a Scrapbook Expo, it’s a much bigger event than you probably would imagine.
There are dozens of vendors selling thousands of scrapbooking and card-making products, sell-out 1-2 hour workshops, all-day and evening cropping, and lots of make-and-take opportunities.
Crops
Cropping events are scrapbooking parties where people scrapbook next to each other while contests or raffles are held, games may be played, and my favorite part is checking out everyone else’s artwork. Crops will be held throughout the expo:
1. Friday All Day Crop & Shop (8:00am - 11:30pm)
$40 per person (Reserve a Table for an additional $20 if you order 6) Includes a Crop kit worth at least $30 and Friday Admission to the Show Floor.
2. Friday Crop Night (6:00pm - 11:30pm)
$20 per person (Reserve a Table for an additional $15 if you order 6) Includes a Crop kit worth at least $20
3. Saturday Crop Night (5:00pm - 11:30pm)
$20 per person (Reserve a Table for an additional $15 if you order 6) Includes a Crop kit worth at least $20
Make-and-Takes
Make-and-Takes are one of the biggest bargains that you’ll find at a Scrapbook Expo. They’re inexpensive mini-workshops where you can try out new products, learn how to make some sort of embellishment or a scrapbooking technique, and take an example home with you. The make-and-takes for this Scrapbook Expo include:
