Crop in Style XXL Rolling Organizer Tote for Scrapbooking, Art and Crafts

Organize Your Craft Supplies Either at Home or on the Go

Amy Solovay
The Crop In Style XXL is the "Rolls Royce" of rolling organizers for scrapbooking and paper crafts. My XXL is from the Crop In Style Core Collection; it is solid black in color, and it has the Crop In Style logo on the front. It is made of a durable Cordura Nylon fabric. (Note: Cordura Nylon is also used for manufacturing military tactical gear, which makes a convincing argument for this tote's durability.) There are other versions of the Crop In Style available as well, including a fashion-conscious red, black and cream version with floral fabric accents.

So far, the Crop In Style XXL is the largest scrapbooking tote I've seen available for sale. This rolling organizer measures 20" x 20" x 16". It has the capacity to hold multiple scrapbook albums and plenty more supplies, too.

The Crop In Style XXL is an easy way to organize scrapbooking supplies or art supplies. It has numerous pockets, loops and dividers, which are designed to hold a variety of craft supplies. The loops will hold scissors or tools; the pockets will hold punches, stamps, jars of paint, adhesives, embellishments, and other supplies.

Removable Dividers:

The interior of the XXL features removable dividers that attach with Velcro. It's easy to reconfigure the organizer's interior if you need to. This is a handy feature for teachers who teach several different classes and need different supplies for each class.

Pen Caddy:

The XXL includes its own pen and marker caddy with elastic holders. The elastic is a nice touch, because it will hold anything from thin pencils on up through big fat markers like Zig Zigns. I do have some skinny paintbrushes stored in mine too; I put 3 or 4 of them in the same elastic loop.

XXL Helps Dining Room Scrappers Stay Organized:

The Crop In Style XXL organizer is a fantastic solution for scrappers who use the dining room table as their work space. The XXL can be loaded full of supplies and then stashed in a closet when you're not working; when you're ready to scrap, just wheel it out to the dining room and get started on your layouts. You can pull out the pen caddy and set it up on the table next to you so that all your pens and markers are within easy reach.

Take the XXL Rolling Tote to Crops and Retreats:

If you attend scrapbooking retreats, cruises, crops, or trade shows like CHA, the Crop In Style XXL rolling organizer is an easy way to organize all the craft supplies that you want to take with you. You can load it full and wheel it out the door. The XXL has a telescoping handle that expands when you need it, and retracts when you don't.

Please note that the Crop In Style XXL is too large to be used as a carry-on bag when you fly with most airlines. Even if you find an airline that will accept it as a carry on bag, it's probably preferable to check your XXL rolling tote if you have scissors, paper piercing tools, or other sharp objects stored in it. After all, you wouldn't want to be mistaken for a terrorist. ;) Your entire collection of decorative-edged Fiskars scissors might scare the airline staff.

Conclusion:

The Crop In Style XXL Rolling Organizer is a fantastic way to get your art and craft supplies organized. I am delighted to recommend it to other artists, scrapbookers and crafters.
