SCRAPBOOK VACATION CLUB ~ WHAT TO EXPECT:

What to pack!
You can't bring it all unfortunately! Have a good idea about what you are going to work on. Theme related albums like Disney, cruises, or recitals are easier to plan for since all your layouts will relate to a particular theme.
1. Table cloths will be on all scrapping tables so if you want a smoother surface to scrap on, we suggest you purchase a cutting mat or a sheet of heavy art board (sold in craft stores). This will provide you with a smooth, flat surface and it will help delineate your scrap space from your neighbor's scrap space.

2. One of the newest trends is to bring the 12x12 stacking Sterilite drawers or table top shelves for the back of your table space. Not only will you gain more space, but you will have all your supplies readily accessible.

3. Bring your favorite snacks to share! SVC will be providing light snacks and beverages in the crop room but you may want to bring your favs because you never know when someone's going to take that last bag of peanut M&M's!

4. A Tag-along (or similar type of drink holder) is a must. There are NO open drinks permitted at the tables, so you need a place to put your drink. If you use a Tag-a-long, your trash bag, tools and drink can be hung off the table beside you and remain handy. NOTE: A Tag-along is a metal holder that attaches to the side of the table to hold your covered drink container.

5. Don't forget to use your under the table space to store things. Aisle space is at a premium and there is plenty of room under the table. Get used to the idea that you may not be able to have your XXL right next to you open during the event. Due to Fire Code, aisles MUST remain clear at ALL times. We have a no tolerance policy regarding borrowing tools or supplies from other croppers without permission. If that person is not in the room, please wait until they return and ask them personally.

6. Make sure you dress in layers. Crop room temps vary, and you could be chilly in the evening and warm during the day. Don't forget, The Plaza is located right on the beach so throw in beach attire but remember, nights can be a little cool on the water.
7. Run a tab with the vendors ~ please!!! It is easier on the vendors and more convenient for you if you run a tab. If you want to keep track of your purchases, ask the vendor for a copy of their tab sheet and track what you've picked up at your seat.

8. Come prepared to shop. There are always things you must have, as well as items you run short on. Don't worry, our vendors carry a wide variety of products.

9. Bring your basic toolkit, plus any extras you need for your PRE-PLANNED pages. You do NOT need to bring every piece of cardstock you own. You will forget something, don't worry, if our vendors don't have it, I'm sure another scrapper will. Be prepared to hear us over the microphone announcing a scrapper in need.

10. Take advantage of your "ME" time. You can scrap all you want but don't forget to learn some new techniques in one of the many classes being taught at SVC. And, don't forget to pamper yourself at the spa located in the hotel. REMEMBER ~ It's ALL about YOU!!!

11. Bring Ziploc bags in a variety of sizes. If you bring the 2 gallon size they will be big enough to accommodate 12x12 paper, and you can make one for each class you are planning to attend. You can accumulate completed pages in one also, for transfer to your album when you get home. Take a lot of these, cause you will use them a lot!!

12. We will have a journaling station available in the crop room. You must bring your own paper, cardstock, vellum or transparencies to print on. There will also be a 4x6 photo printer in the room. You will be able to print photos from your own media card at the event for a small fee.

13. To avoid music drama, we have a collection of popular music from the 80's, 90's and current artists. The music will be played throughout the event in the crop room. Please bring your own personal listening device with headphones if you prefer alternate music.

14. Other items that you might want to bring: Business cards or address labels, you are going to make lots of new friends, your camera (especially for photos of layouts you want to scraplift later), a small pack of baby wipes, lotion, Tylenol, Band-Aids, Sharpie permanent marker to put your name on all the new stuff you buy, (of course, you have already labeled your equipment that you already own!). After 66 hours of cropping, items can easily be misplaced. Be sure to label all of your scrapbook supplies so they do not get lost. SVC is not responsible for lost items.

15. When preparing for classes, be sure to print the Class Supply List (available on our website). We recommend using large Ziploc bags to sort out the supplies and label each with the class name, date, and time. Check the bulletin board in the crop room to find the location of the class. If you have any questions about the class prior to the event, please post a message on the discussion board.

15. Absolutely NO HAMMERS and NO SPRAY ADHESIVE. If you don't have a Crop-a-Dile or Silent Setter, someone will be glad to loan you theirs. Also, out of concern for our asthmatic attendees, please NO spray adhesives.

Let's have some FUN and get SCRAPPY!
