Happy Saturday! We are so glad that you are able to join us for the Virtual Crop!
The skies are gray here in Central Minnesota, and we are supposed to have a very cold winter-like day here! We have already had our first snowfall, and anticipating more. So crank up the heat and let’s do some scrapping.
Got your coffee? (….and M&M’s?) I can’t scrap without those 2 basics. What about you? What is your go-to scrapping snack?
Did you get a chance to join us last night to create a couple of projects?
Let’s not waste any time, and get things rolling right away.

Does this challenge have to match the colors or just the layout? It’s my first virtual!
The layout.
Just use the sketch as you guide, but you can use any papers.
Does it have to be exact or are we to just use it as a starting point?
Hi Denise–Just use the sketch as your guide, but can use any papers.
Good Morning ladies. I have just joined you but will be here for the rest of the day.
Welcome!
Can we have directions please to cut the triangles?
There seems to be a layout missing using the Glacier paper pack?? I see pictures of making triangles but no layout.
Thanks Michelle—I added it back in. Not sure what happened. :)
You know that for those of use just waking up on the West Coast that this challenge is super early! ;-) I won’t make this one. Enjoyed participating yesterday though. Wish it went longer today – am hosting a face-to-face crop and was thinking to have everyone participate, but since we start at 10 PST, it’s unlikely most will be able to do more than the last challenge.
This one was really hard since I don’t have the Gemstone patterns. Guess that will be next on my list!!
I really appreciate the effort CM puts into these virtual crops! I love the examples–all so thoughtfully and beautifully created. And I love seeing the participants’ layouts and tweeks on the sketches–so inspiring.
The best part of the crop is that there is NO PRESSURE! I have lots of CM collections(who can resist!) and CM tools. But if I want to use a “store bought” paper or even create my own background paper or even do a digital layout (and thank you CM for accommodating us with your products as well), I can freely do that!
If I don’t complete a layout in a specific amount of time (and I NEVER do–thank goodness I am not competitive), I can still share my accomplishments during the event.
I love being able to go back through the old virtual crops and glean ideas throughout the year–even though your very frequent posts give me plenty of inspiration!
What I am saying is THANK YOU for all you do for your customers! CREATIVE MEMORIES IS THE BEST! I truly feel like part of the CM family. :-)
Hello CM. I’m the winner of challenge #4. How do I claim the prize? I’m to message you with my info. Don’t want to throw it all out there on FB for all to see.

Hi Linda! If you go to our Facebook Page, and then click on message, it will start a private message to us! :)
I’m not seeing “message ” to click on
Do you mean our FB advisor group? Sorry I’m really having problems today.
I went into CM FB. Clicked on message. It failed. Said Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid. I’m getting frustrated.
Can’t I just send an email to customer service with my info? I did that half hour ago as I was getting no where on the virtual site. Please advise.
I sent email with info. Not very techy and find it difficult going from virtual crop to CM FB and then finding out it won’t work. Kept going in circles.
I did gave a fun time both yesterday and today. But now I need to make dinner for the oven.
Thank you all. Linda😊
