Welcome to the first Virtual Crop of 2020! We hope you’re locked in and ready for two days of awesome creativity and the chance to win some cool prizes! Let’s get started!
If this is your first time participating in a VC and you’d like a quick walk-through of what to expect before you jump in, you can get the 411 on Virtual Crops in this blog post, including how to participate, supplies you’ll need, examples of challenges, the types of prizes and more.
Challenge #1
- Create a layout following the sketch below.
- Take a photo of your completed project.
- Post your photo on the March 20-21 Virtual Crop Facebook Event Page AND add #CMVirtualCrop1, #CMVirtualCrop2, #CMVirtualCrop3, etc., to the caption/comments. You will add the hashtag that matches the challenge you are submitting to qualify to win the prize for that challenge. Feel free to use other hashtags as well such as #CreativeMemories, but BE SURE to include #CMVirtualCrop1, #CMVirtualCrop2, etc. so we can find your post. For Instagram users, you will need to add #CMVirtualCrop1, #CMVirtualCrop2, #CMVirtualCrop3, etc., so your post can be found that way.
- You have the entire event to submit your projects to all six challenges but all submissions must be received by March 22 at 11:59pm CT. Keep refreshing the Facebook Event Page to see others’ masterpieces!

NOTE: The Prize Pack will be awarded to one participant in each challenge. We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident that you used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using your Creative Memories products. Prize winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 25, at noon CT.

I can’t see the finished picture using the Mellow Meadows. I’ve tried 2 different devices. What am I doing wrong? I’d love to see the picture just for inspiration.
