Frequently Asked Questions:

What should I bring to the crop?
Plan ahead, and bring your scrapbook project ready to assemble!  Pre-cropped and pre-planned pages will go together easily, and allow you to enjoy this HUGE crop!   Plan to be able to bring in your supplies in one trip, because you won't want to make several!  It will be a long walk!

Will I be able to shop during the crop?
Some exhibitors will have merchandise for sale at tables during the crop. They won't be bringing the whole booth! So, if there is something special you need, or you see during the day, don't wait until the crop to purchase it! More details on which exhibitors are sponsoring crop tables will be available closer to the show date.

Will there be any supplies available during the crop?
The DIE CUT FREE ZONE sponsored by Ellison Design/Sizzix and Scrapbooks Mega Meet, LLC, will have a wide variety of die cut equipment available during the crops!

Will there be electricity at the crop?
With so many people at each crop night - it's just impossible to provide power for your electronic tools!  Cut what you need ahead of time, and leave that bulky electronic cutter at home!

Can I sit with my friends at the crop?
When you register, you can reserve a table for four for you and your friends. If you have not made a table reservation, then, seating is first come, first serve, beginning at 6:00 pm.  There are 4 croppers to a table.

What if I get hungry?
The concession stand will remain open during the first part of the crop! 

What is your beverage policy?
Only beverages with lids will be permitted on the cropping tables, for the safety of your albums, and the safety of the albums of others working at your table!  Beverages without tight fitting lids should be kept on the floor.

Will there be prizes?
Will there be prizes?!?  Oh yes!  There will be prizes!  You won't want to miss any of the opportunities to win prizes, big and small!

Can I buy crop tickets at the door?
If there are crop tickets available after all of the pre-registrations are processed, they will be for sale beginning opening day of the convention, in the information booth!

What is the informal cropping area that I read about?
