operation scrapbook

Are you ready for a jam packed weekend of scrapbooking? Cause I am! Croptoberfest starts tomorrow and I can't wait :) I am ready to kick some serious scrapbooking butt on my Israel album which I have been working on for what seems like forever! Look out scissors and scraps, I'm coming for you!

All packed and ready to go!

Packing for a weekend like this is a big deal to me. I like to have all my things organized and set out so I can best use them. 

When I'm not scrapping from home my must-have's to bring include:

- A good tape dispenser, I prefer the roll kind not the peel-and-stick adhesives

- A sharp pair of scissors, I like mine cause they have really pointy ends

- Black and brown scrapbook markers

- A pencil and eraser

- Box of assorted embellishments

- Assorted ribbons

- Paper box separated into different categories such as polka dots, flowers, misc. stripes, etc. 

- Cardstock of several different colors and shades (My favorites are green and kraft)

- Other paper packs I may have

- Paper trimmer (full-size) and personal size

- Letter stickers and rub-on's

For a 'retreat' or all day affair my must-have's include:

- Slippers

- Water bottle

- Granola bars

- Chocolate!

- Coffee

- Inspirational magazines

- My album that the pages will go into so I can review what I've already done and see different color combo's, etc. 

- Cell phone
