    Wine-Reeds challenged the participants to create table centerpieces at the crop she hosted. This award-winning example features clever use of cropper's tools.

    Supply stations are a great way to centralize materials, as well as improve traffic flow.

    If your crop budget allows, consider creating a scrapbook kit as favors for the participants.

    Jeanne Wines-Reed has hosted several of the largest crops in the country -- more than 1200 people attended a single crop she hosted at the Great American Scrapbook Convention! Wines-Reed says management techniques culled from large conventions can easily be adapted for home crop parties.

    • Organize supply stations to manage traffic flow for a larger groups. Have participants label any supplies brought to the crop.

    • Create an "Information Station" where croppers can peruse magazines and books for new page ideas.

    • A swap basket facilitates easy supply trading. Croppers simply put in items they no longer need, then search for new items to take home.

    • Consider providing a kit to participants, or take a collection up to buy needed supplies for the crop.

    • Contests are a great way to stimulate creativity and add to the fun of any crop. Croppers can create clever centerpieces, quick pages or paper dolls.
