What is a Virtual Crop–and Bonus Sketch Challenge

Join us right on our Facebook Event Page!  If you have not RSVP’d saying that you will join us — you can do so now!

However, before then, here are some tips to best prepare for the event:

Gather some photos and scrappy supplies, stay comfy in your jammies, and crop the day away with us from the comfort of your home.

We will host several challenges throughout the day from our Facebook Event Page to inspire you at (all Central Time): 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.

After you complete each challenge, we encourage you to take a photo and post it to the Facebook Event Page.  By doing that, you will qualify for the prizes that will be given away every 2 hours-at the end of each challenge.

The link to each challenge will be posted on the event page (the challenges will remain on our blog for easy access later). A bonus to challenges being on the blog is that when you subscribe you’ll get an email with each new challenge. Enter your email on the blog to subscribe: https://blog.creativememories.com/

All of the ideas and inspiration will help you get projects completed – and it’s a ton of fun to connect with fellow scrappers across North America..

You won’t want to miss it!

Stop in for one challenge or stay for all of them. We look forward to spending time with you!

We decided to give you a bonus sketch to get your creative juices flowing before tomorrow morning. Post an image to the event page before the event starts tomorrow morning at 9am CST, and your name will be entered to win this prize:
