Lake Geneva Weekend Retreat- SCRAPPIN SONGS!

Dancing Queen (Laurie, Pam, et al)
You can crop, you can tape
Having the time of your life
Watch her go
She is a scrapping queen
Friday night and the lights are bright
Need a table that is just right
Where we play the right music
We have more than we need
We're in the mood to scrap....

Row Row Row Your Boat (by Amy, Monica, Julie et al)
Load Load Load your bags, in the van we go.
Down the road to the crop.
Happily we go
Cut, Cut, Cut your paper,
Circles, Hearts & Squares,
Grab your markers, journal a box, only if you dare.
Roll, Roll, Roll your tape,
Gently down your page,
Stick a picture in your book,
Your memories are on stage!



BRADY BUNCH (by Kat, Shirley, Margie, Janet, Sue and Lori)
Here's a story of a scrapbooking lady
Who was teaching friends to make albums of their own All of them had fun making pages They now have memories to behold. (show a page)
Here's a story of a sister named Margi,
Who was busy teaching a sister of her own.
Later they met sister Shirley, and they were not alone.
Son then one day when the scrapbooking ladies met these sisters, They knew that it was much more than a hunch, That this cropping crew would get together that's the way we all became the cropping queens, the cropping queens, the cropping queens, that's the way we all became the cropping queens....
Curtsey at the end.



Sung to the tune of "Sexyback" (Jordan, Anna, Chelsee and Michelle (trimmer-girl)
I'm bringing memories back,
Gotta get another page done before I hit the sack.
Fill your pages front to back,
Don't forget your journal box, jot down all your funky thoughts!
Take em' to the Cricut
Picture Babe
See how these tools
help you make your page
Take em' to the Cricut
I'll let you scrap me when I misbehave

Flip Flops!


Do you have a pair of older flip flops. They need help, huh? Try this cute technique - add lots of pieces of ribbon onto them. The trick is double-knotting them to make them stay on! Send us some photos (blog@onestopcropshop.com) so that we can post them here!


Summer's almost here- where are your flip flops!?!


You can also get some flip-flops at One Stop Crop Shop to create your one of a kind style. Flip-Flops are available after April 4th in the shop.

Lake Geneva Scrapbooking Songs!

In lake Geneva, we all took some time to create new songs to old tunes. We changed the lyrics to contain scrapbooking words. Some songs were sung to the tunes of Row, Row, Row Your Boat; Jack & Diane; The Brady Bunch; Sexyback; Dancing Queen; Do Wop, and more! Here's a short video of Kelly and Candy's version of Jack & Diane! Enjoy! (Aren't these Lake Geneva Crop Retreats FUN!?!)
