Announcing Our First Sponsors!!

Besides getting to scrapbook in a hot tropical location, one of our favourite parts of Crop and Cruise vacations are the AMAZING SPONSORS that come on board with their yummy goodies we get to create and play with while on vacation!!  This means you don't have to worry about what supplies to pack as we provide what you need for the entire trip!!

So it is no surprise that Crop and Cruise HAWAII this November is starting to look FANTASTIC as several companies have already said "YES"... some are providing EPIC kits of goodness while others are sending highly anticipated door prizes and we have some familiar favourites mixed in with some oh so fun newbies!!!  Check them out...

And this is just the beginning!!!  Watch for more information on each of the above sponsors as well as new ones added to the list leading up to sail date!!!  This truly is turning into the ultimate crop and create vacation!!

Get to know Jill Hildebrand

JILL HILDEBRAND is back by popular demand for her 3^rd Crop and Cruise!!  This smalltown, farm-girl is not only profoundly creative, but comes with a contagious personality and high energy to boot!! 

She is a widely published scrapbook artist who has taught at numerous events throughout Canada and USA and is best known for her colourful and edgy layouts.  In Jill’s classes she encourages scrappers to get CRAZY and become excited about the products in front of them believing there are “No Mistakes – Only Unexpected Creations” in the Life Art we are creating. 

Jill is currently a design team member for myStampBOX and Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker.   Her work has been featured in Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and her keen eye in photography portrays a wildly fun passion for life and will most definitely rub off on you in Hawaii!!  

As the wife of a grain farmer in Manitoba, Jill stays busy being a SAHM to three children and working as a substitute teacher.  In any spare time she happens to find, she will get “lost” in home decorating, travelling and watching NBA games with her family… oh and folding laundry!!!!
