We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident you used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using predominantly Creative Memories products.

Prize winners will be announced on Thursday, June 20, at noon CT (AU: Friday, 21 June).
Challenge #1
Collection Used: Summer Break (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
Brittany’s Tip: “Don’t be afraid to mix and match! For this layout, I used a Summer Break Fast2Fab page as the background, a coordinating Totally Tonal Baby Blue paper for the large circle, Summer Break for the circles and the new Summer Break Artsy Add-Ons for the two embellishment clusters. I also used Foam Squares to pop up the glass of lemonade in the top cluster and the pineapple/watermelon/cherries from the bottom cluster. And instead of using the last watermelon piece from the Artsy Add-Ons, I built my own watermelon using three enamel stickers from the full Summer Break Embellishments pack!”
Challenge #2
Collection Used: Passport to Adventure (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
Sonia’s Tip: “Sticking to a consistent color scheme was super easy with the Passport to Adventure collection; everything just goes together perfectly!”
Challenge #3
Collection Used: SNEAK PEEK (launching June 17) Coastal Shore collection
Nicole’s Tip: “A Variety Mat Pack can have exactly what you’re looking for to make your photos pop off the page! I knew immediately I had to use the sailboats and lighthouses paper from this paper pack (because HELLO, it’s so gorgeous) and the red mats were exactly what I felt I needed to bring out the red accents from the paper!
You are all going to LOVE the Coastal Shore collection and its coordinating tools — like the Curious Crabs Border Maker Cartridge featured on this spread!”
Challenge #4
Collection Used: Full Of Wonder (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
Nicole’s Tip: “Don’t underestimate the power of a great and versatile punch. I cut apart the single banners from the Garland Banner Border Punch for the flags on this sketch and love the effect the multi-colored flags have created to bring the whole spread together!”
As a fun bonus to the June Virtual Crop festivities, you can get a scrapbooking “fortune cookie” fortune, along with a link to an exclusive sketch (4 options total!) with the Mini Storage Box! Earn it FREE when you spend $20 USD | $22 CAD | $31.50 AUD or purchase it for just $2 USD | $2.50 CAD | $3.50 AUD — the choice is yours, but you’ll want to act fast because we anticipate to sell out by tomorrow morning (June 15)!
AND, 30 Mini Storage Boxes come with a Golden Ticket to get a FREE Cup Caddy! Plus, we’ve added 20 more chances to win a new prize, the Charming Village Border Punch!
But that’s not all — for a limited time, you can purchase the exclusive Sticker File Mate AND fill it with newly discounted stickers!
Last week we introduced the limited-edition My Life products, which were designed in collaboration with Alzheimer’s Association of Alabama Longest Day Manager Cecile Brown and Executive Director Jessica Miller of Alabama to help more people save their family memories. You can order the My Life Mini Buttons (3/pk) and Digital My Life Kit, for which all profits go to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Home Office’s Noreen Smith is currently in Alabama at Advisor Nicole Soh’s Longest Day fundraising crop to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. We encourage you to tune into the Virtual Crop Facebook Group tomorrow, June 15, as they stream into the group (catch the recording of the first live pop-in here) to share what’s happening at the fundraising event, find out more about this partnership, Alzheimer’s and dementia awareness and support that is available.
