So ... what is an Online Crop?

1.) What is an online crop?
An online crop is an huge event hosted by our Design Team members and myself incorporating scrapbooking, games, challenges, PRIZES, chatting with other members and all around FUN! The point of an online crop is to get active and we encourage you to participate in the many games and challenges.
2) Online Crop Activities
The main attraction to the online crop are the challenges. You'll find layout challenges featuring many different themes and techniques, and Fast Scraps which are mini challenges intended to keep you thinking and scrapping on the ball! Most every challenge can be completed using basic supplies any scrapper should have in their supply. In the case that a particular product is required, an announcement will be made ahead of time in the Online Crop Forum, allowing plenty of time to gather necessary supplies beforehand. In the near future our online crops may feature scrapbooking classes. Make sure you check the class supply list in the Cyber Crop Forum or Crop informational page. Games are another big feature during the online crop. You can join in the fun playing bingo, guessing games, scavenger hunts and MORE! Remember... the more games and challenges you participate in the better your chances are of walking away with prizes and/or gift certificates!

3) How do Classes Work?
Stay Tuned!

4) How to get ready for the Online Crop This is simple!
Check out the Cyber Crop Forum (or the crop info page in the Events & News section) and jot down the schedule, sign up for classes and check for any other announcements regarding challenges or games. Also, don't forget to sign up for Bingo and send in your bingo cards early! We've got a number of different bingo games scheduled to keep the fun rocking all weekend long! Then gather all your favorite supplies and clear a scrapping space... preferably near your pc to optimize your crop enjoyment! Lastly, make sure you plan ahead and clear your busy schedule so you can spend as much time participating in the crop as you possibly can! You won't want to miss a bit of the action!

5) What to expect once the Online Crop begins?
Hold onto your hats for Fun! Fun! Fun! You'll suddenly begin to notice new threads popping up for games, challenges and friendly chit-chat in the Cyber Crop forum. Keep an eye on the Cyber Crop Forum, refreshing often to be sure you don't miss a new challenge or game. The rules for each challenge and game are posted clearly in each new thread. As always, if you have a question please feel welcome to shout it out. Our Design Team hostesses and myself are there to ensure you have fun and many members of our online community are seasoned veterans of online cropping!

6) How to find new challenges as they become available
The best way to stay in the know is to keep refreshing the Cyber Crop Forum! You'll see new threads with the challenge title and # and in case you get lost in a sea of new threads... there is always a master Crop thread highlighted and stuck to the top of the Crop Forum with an up to date listing of current and past challenges.

7) How are winners chosen
Our Design Team hostesses try their hardest to make sure everyone has the most fun they can have during an online crop. The only way to get awards is to participate, participate, participate! Most challenge and game winners are chosen by random drawing. Some games will state in the rules as they are posted, that the "first person with the correct answer" is called winner. It's important to read the rules in every new challenge or game. You also never know when you'll be randomly selected just for hanging around on the Message Board with us!
