Worldwide Virtual Crop Challenge 1:
- Create a layout following the sketch below.
- Take a photo of your completed project.
- Post the photo of your completed page, spread or card to the Worldwide Virtual Crop Facebook Event Page AND add #CM1, #CM2, #CM3, etc. to the caption/comments. You will add the hashtag that matches the challenge that you are submitting. No words needed, just stick to the hashtag CM with numbers as this is a bilingual event! Feel free to use other hashtags as well, such as #WWVC2019 or #CreativeMemories, but BE SURE to include #CM1, #CM2, etc. so we can find your post. OR on Instagram for the first time! For Instagram users, you will need to add #WWVC2019 AND #CM1, #CM2, etc. so your post can be found.
- You have the entire event to submit all 12 challenges (some will post while you are sleeping). To see your final deadline date and time, check when your Facebook event ends; this will show you the date and time in your time zone. View challenge times in your time zone here. Keep refreshing the Facebook Event Page to see others’ masterpieces!
NOTE: For the Worldwide Virtual Crop, the prize will be the 12×12 Sky Blue Camera Album Cover. Prizes will be awarded to two participants in each challenge. We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident that you have used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using your Creative Memories products. Prizes will be announced on Friday, April 19, at 9am CT.

Where is Autumn hay shimmer paper from? Sounds pretty but I dont recall it
It was part of a Cardstock Buffet promo that we held last August!
Are you still eligible if you use any products other than Creative Memories, if the bulk of the products are CM?
I like the way Karyn uses bright backgrounds along with squares and circles. Thx.
