I was just curious what everyone uses to haul there stuff around when doing a day of stamping or whatever. I have seen the crop in styles, but they seem to be geared more towards scrapbooking. So, what is it that all of you use?

I have a crop in style xxl from my pre-stamping days. But I can't imagine going to a crop now that I have tons of stamping stuff. I'd really have to plan out pages before I pack. Part of the fun at a crop is deciding on design when I'm there...
Crop in Style XXL is exactly what I use to haul my stuff around. Doesn't really take all the room up, but I'm able to organize my materials so it is quick to set up.
are you able to fit many stamp sets in there? My thoughts were for this summer when all the ladies in my family go to our river house and have stamping weekends and i want to take stuff. How much stamping stuff can it hold?

I actually use my big "CM" roller but I have so many others that I can stack on top of that one!! I have the Mimi one that opens and holds 12x12 paper and tools, I have the new one (not sure who its by) I got it from Memories its small and has a drawer on the botton and diffrent pockets all around for tools. I got these two for Christmas. I have so many plastic containers that I need to buy more stuff to fill them up with !! I have a fetish for all these kind of things.
If I'm stamping I take my Crop in Style Storehouse (the one with the drawers). If I'm scrapping I take the Crop in Style XXL. If I need to take an extra bag I can attach it to the handle of either wheeled bag.

I bought a Stanley mobile work center. It's in the tool section at Walmart, and I noticed the other day they are on clearance for about $20. They have two big compartments that stack and lock together. The top section has a removable tray and little plastic boxes on the top with lids. The bottom secion has an outside fabric pocket, and a plastic tray that spins out. I can take a ton of cardstock and stamp sets, pads, whatever I need and it all rolls.
I bought mine at a flea market for $20 last summer--it's been the best money I've spent as far as storage/transporting stuff.

I use a big roller bag I got from JoAnne's. It's around $60 but I bought it with a 50% off coupon. It holds a ton of stuff. My co-workers think it's funny when I roll it in for some stamping on my lunch break.
I just use my Fiskars shoulder bag. I choose a color scheme or two, and pack cardstock, inkpads and embellishments. I always carry the essentials - scissors, adhesive, paper cutter, stamp cleaner & pad. There's usually enough room in the bag to fit 2-3 stamp sets, but if I'm going to a friend's house to stamp, I usually take that as an opportunity to use their stuff!

Big canvas bags. They're tough and hold a lot of stamps. Plus the bag is super light weight. I tried the cropper bags and found it was heavy and extremely heavy once I put all my stuff it in. And, I had to beg my husband to carry it up and down the stairs. With the canvas bags, I can do it my self.
I'm totally lame and unstylish. I use a laundry basket if I'm taking a lot of stuff or this heavy duty cardboard box (that once held oranges/grapefruit from a fundraiser) if I'm not taking too much.
transporting?
