A crop is a day to get together with other scrap-bookers and card-makers to catch up on various projects, learn new techniques, observe demonstrations involving material and machines that others might be unfamiliar with and to enjoy reconnecting with friends and possibly make new ones.

There will be room to spread out and be creative, event officials say.
