Super Saturday Banner

We have put together the ultimate spring crafting event that offers crafting in whatever way you like it best. Starting with our beloved CROP format, we offer a full day in our spacious and bright hall for you to craft as you like.  Bring along whatever crafting or creating supplies and projects you want to work on for the day - paper crafting - card making - sewing - knitting, etc.  Everyone welcome.

Full Day Crop Cost is just $25



For those that want some easy self-directed crafting projects, choose our Add-on Card Buffet. Choose to make 6 or 12 cards with all prepared supplies and samples - 'make and take' style.  We will have multiple baskets of card kits to choose from on a first come basis.

Add on   6-Card Buffet for an additional $10
Add on 12-Card Buffet for an additional $15



If you are like group crafting or larger more complex projects, choose to add on one or both of our Project Classes. Christine will teach one, Kevin the other. These classes will take about an hour each - one taught in the morning, one in the afternoon.  All supplies and materials will be provided, and some extra product will be included.

Project Class 1: Mini Keepsake Album $20
In this class you will use the provided supplies to make a mini album with ten 6"x4" pages with pockets to keep cards, photos and other keepsakes. Your kit will include loads of affirmational message cards and sticker sheets to decorate. 




Project Class 2: Sampler Board $20
In this class you will make a colourful 10"x10" sampler board using product from the Zinnia Suite. You will receive loads of product for lots of choices to customize your board. Most of the decorative pieces will be precut and prepared for a quick class, and there will be some basic stamping included. We do have 8 white shadowbox frames available for purchase ($12) on a first come basis for those that want to mount their boards.

Registration for the two project classes is now CLOSED so we could order supplies to arrive in time.





Doors open at 9AM at the church hall. This bright, open space is wheelchair accessible, and there is plenty of parking.  Snack station with hot beverages, cold water and treats available all day.  Microwave and fridge in kitchen for lunches.

  • Tables can/will be grouped together in blocks for group crafting with friends.

  • dress in layers in case you get too cool/hot as the temperature in the room could vary throughout the day as the sun comes in the windows.

  • If you want to bring your tablet or laptop to watch crafting videos online, please also bring your headphones so the sound doesn't disturb other crafters.

  • Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate and Water will be provided all day. 
  • Registrations are non-refundable, but you are free to transfer your registration to another crafter for the same event, so long as you get in touch with us to let us know in advance.

The hall is centrally located at 1839 Hammonds Plains Road right across from Hatfield Farms, just a short distance from Vernon's Diner, Acadian Fish & Chips and only a short drive either direction to numerous other food outlets and restaurants.

We always have a 50/50 Giveaway - both halves given away.  Buy as many tickets as you like for the draw. Two winners will each receive half the proceeds towards a Stampin' Up! product order (before shipping and hst, which is the winners responsibility).  Tickets are $1 each and will be available at the event, but you can pre-purchase them at a discount with your registration below if you like.

This will be a really fun day - if you've been to one of our events before, you know we spoil you in every way possible. We will have some fantastic Door Prizes throughout the day, and we will play some games as well.
