June Scrapbooking Tip
Memorabilia OrganizationBrochures, maps, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, school papers and artwork, historical documents, small mementos...all of these items are examples of collected memorabilia that you might want to include on a layout. Scrapbooking memorabilia is a fun and important part of preserving your memories. But just how are you going to add it to your layout if you can't find it? :) Here are a couple of great articles with tips for organizing memorabilia. http://www.creatingkeepsakesblog.com/blog/2011/01/organization-week-organizing-memorabilia/

Summer Contests!
How to get through the long summer until our next crop!
For every month this summer (June {see sketch above}, July and August) we will be holding contests on Facebook and here in the newsletter to win fabulous prizes. This is all just to hold you over until the September crop! We will hold a monthly sketch layout contest (details below) as well as one other contest (will vary) sometime during the month.
Every month in the newsletter, on Facebook and Instagram, we will publish a sketch. Any scrapper who feels inspired by the sketch should create a layout based on the sketch and post it on our Facebook page or Instagram. You can also email it to us and we can post it for you if you do not have access to Facebook or Instagram at cropsplus@ourcropsplus.com. Layouts should be posted by the 21st of every month and voting will start via poll on the 22nd until the end of the month. The monthly winner will receive $15 in brand spanking new product! Good luck! Get creating!

September & November Crops - Sold Out!
Thank you for your support!
We're really happy to announce that BOTH our September AND November dates are SOLD OUT! And all before the dates opened to the public!
This is because we allow our croppers to sign up for future crops while at a crop, as a 'thank you' for their attendance. It just goes to show you what a great crop and group of ladies we have when they immediately sign up for more crops!
If you weren't able to sign up, we are taking names for a wait list for both events right now. You can do that here: http://ourcropsplus.com/registration.html#register
Thank you for your support!

2014 Dates
January booked; the rest coming in September.
We were hoping to have our 2014 dates all settled by now, but the hotel has changed it's policy and we have to wait to announce most of our 2014 dates in September. Boo! :( We are sorry for the delay, but I can say we are aiming to have them in the usual April, September and November time frames.
We can, however, announce our January 2014 date! It will be Jan 24-26, 2014 at the Hyatt Dulles. Registration for this date will open on September 2nd, so keep your eyes trained here on the newsletter, on Facebook and on Twitter. This event WILL sell out. So be ready!
