Announcing Featured Instructors!!

Introducing our featured instructors for Crop Tropical in Cancun, Mexico in February 2010!!!


CHRISTY RIOPEL - Crop Tropical Featured Instructor
MSF (Married Scrapbooking Fanatic) seeks same to crop the week away at Crop Tropical in Cancun, Mexico. I like long lengths of ribbon, patterned paper and sunset photo shoots on the beach. Will teach you new and amazing techniques while keeping you entertained and amused. 


My past and current relationships include being repeatedly published in Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and being co-owner and head of the design team for  MondayNightClass.ca  (featured in Canadian Scrapbooker's Fall 2009 issue).  I also have experience instructing at BC Crop for Kids, Crop and Cruise, The Scrapbook Carnival, The Bloomin Inn and several LSS’s.  I have two amazing daughters and a very understanding husband. I look forward to sand between my toes and laughs across the crop table. Come join me in Mexico!  To get to know me better, please visit my BLOG!!
