My friend Carolyn over at CropChic posted a great article about Preparing for a Crop. Her first of four terrific suggestions is:

Pick one album, project or up to three layouts to complete. Before you set off for the crop, know what you want to do. If you’re going to a 4-hour crop, it may make more sense to do a few layouts. If you’re going to a weekend/marathon event, try working on an album. Either way, set a scrapbooking course and follow it.

I also suggest having a secondary project and bring it along. In one instance I actually finished up the project I had brought, leaving me hours to organize my supplies and gaze at idea books wishing I had something else to work on. Another time, the creativity just wouldn’t flow for my chosen project. So now I always bring a couple different projects.

Be sure to check out Carolyn’s other three suggestions here. And have fun cropping!
