I love my Crop In Style XXL ... you should know that the pretty one in red, cream and black does NOT hold as much as the original because it doesn't open up on the sides.

The only downside to the tote is that you can put a TON of stuff in it and it can get very heavy when full.

I love my creative memories old style rolling tote; it holds more larger things (entire 12x12 albums, Cropper Hopper organizers, etc.) than alot of other carts do. Since it was discontinued, I found someone willing to ship on craigslist.com when ebay didn't turn up anything!

I like the Crop In Style Navigator rolling tote.

I had the Creative Memories tote, but when I loaded it into and out of the car, it was too heavy and sometimes hurt my back. So now I use smaller totes and boxes, etc. I have to make more trips to and from the car, but it's worth it. It cost over $100 and I sold it for $20 to a friend whose rolling crate just broke.

I use the MiMi large rolling tote and LOVE it. Room for everything, very sturdy.

I have the rolling tote from HL by Paper Studios (similar to the Crop In Style s). It's ok. I REALLY like my rolling cart I picked up at Staples (similar to the BoBunny one but it has a lid)! It's so easy to stack boxes on top of it! My papers are already in Crop Hoppers anyway and those fit wonderfully in the cart! Plus, it's only $30

One thing to note. The Crop In Style XXL is VERY big! Which means, when it is loaded, it is HEAVY! Something to keep in mind if you have to pick it up in to your car, or up/down stairs.

I don't have it. I have the Crop In Style LX (which is smaller than the Navigator, and discontinued now I believe).

I have the Crop In Style XXL and couldn't live without it! It does get heavy, especially when I have to lug it up and down the stairs to get to my scrapping area (but that's what DH is for!) Before I had my dedicated cropping area in my basement it was nice to have because I could pack things away in it.

I try not to take it to some smaller crops at people's houses, but I had to this past weekend because it was raining and if I had used the bags I packed things in everything would have gotten wet...so I repacked in my XXL and it stayed dry!

I have the Crop In Style XXL as well. It does get heavy if you aren't careful. I have had it for about 8 years now, and it is in great shape!

This is what I started with in the beginning; I used it until it broke from being put in and out of a car without care by a non-thinking family member. It cracked and still worked, but I wanted something that was completely protective (mine didn't have a lid and when my husband spilled kool-aid while my cart was in the kitchen on the way out the door...well, you get the idea).

It's a very durable and economical choice!!

I have my trusty, beat-up, old CIS XXL wheeled tote. I don't even use the side pockets anymore and the interior isn't always full to the top. It has held up and not broken in 9 years.

I have this pink tote at well with all the accessories and I love it. People at crops envy all my "pink" when I wheel everything in!! My husband got if for me from Joanne Fabric for my birthday (of course, I ordered it and he paid for it) and he just rolls his eyes when he sees me leaving for a crop with all my pink "stuff".

I use Cropper Hopper vertical organizers to hold paper, an art bin box to hold layouts-in-progress (CM power-sort style, or in 2 gallon plastic bags...they fit if I fold down the longer end), a plastic envelope to hold my journaling stencil, my cutter mat, and other larger flat things, my fiskers cutter, and my album/pages for the layouts I'm working on. In pockets I stash other odds and ends (embellies, cutter stencils, inks and pens, etc.)

Have fun finding what works for you!

I love the Ek Success Scutto or Tutto bag!!! I think it's the best to all any heavy scrapbook items neatly. I got mines at acm but they no longer carry it. I don't know anyone else who cares it! But I did see it on evil bay!! Good Luck! lol

I took out all of the dividers and don't use the side pockets. I find it easier to pack that way.

I stand my things up on end and fill in the leftover space with other-size things. My scrapping buddies have told me that I am the fastest cleaner-upper they have every known at crops.
