Scrapbookers... Need Advice on What to Put in My Storage Tote!?

Question

I just received as a gift a Mimi tote... not the rolling kind, the over-the-shoulder one... anyways... I'm going to a scrapbooking convention and wanted to know what everyone else carried in their totes... Adhesives, scissors, the "basics" I'm covered on, but how much patterned papers do you bring and what about embellishments?? I seem to want to add too much stuff! Please let me know what you put in your totes! Thanks!

Answer 1

Paper trimmer - lightweight plastic kind
Small scissors
Mono adhesive (or similar roller type) & one acid free glue stick
7 small brads in different colors (coordinating)
7 eyelets, also different colors (coordinating)
Eyelot hole maker (just bare minimum essentials)
One small spool of wire
One medium size fiber
Small container chalks
2 sheets of white cardstock, off-white cardstock and 4 other colors
2 sheets of vellum (2 colors)
Digital Camera

Also it sounds like you are going to a class - can you pull up the class supply list on the convention website? Knowing what you are going to learn may help with the supplies.

I loved going to these - haven't in a while, I let my quilting take over. Don't forget you will spend $$ adding to your stash of supplies, so be prepared to unload some of your things in your car.
Have Fun!

Answer 2

see if you can already have an idea for your pics and layouts ready then you can just put the products you need in a page organizer.. or.. use a school folder or page protector even.. other than than bring a rolling suitcase for everything and keep a little extra money in your tote! :) that seems to be what I do.. I'm so unorganized.. have fun!

Probably good to have some projects in mind before heading off. If your really unsure then maybe its time to invest in a trolley so you CAN take everything you want :)
