Okay, scrappers, it’s that time again — time for another challenge! This challenge features both a card and border sketch — but if you really want to spice things up, try integrating them into a layout or spread! Remember — you’re in control of what you create! Nevertheless, here’s Challenge #6!
Creative Memories Advisors and Home Office Staff from around the world have created layouts for YOU! Every four hours for the next two days you will receive a new sketch to create. Review all posting times here.
If it’s your first time participating in a Virtual Crop and you’d like a quick walk-through of what to expect before we get started, you can get the 411 on Virtual Crops here, including how to participate, what you’ll need, examples of challenges and more. Read this post in Japanese ⇒ 日本語はこちらです

The Prize for All 12 Challenges
The prize for all 12 challenges of the NSD Worldwide Virtual Crop will be the exclusive 12×12 Periwinkle Triflora 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 predominantly Creative Memories products. Prizes will be announced on Thursday, May 7, at 3pm CT.
Worldwide Virtual Crop Challenge #6:
- Create a layout following the sketch below.
- Take a photo of your completed project.
- Post the photo of your completed page, spread, border or card to the NSD 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 #NSDWWVC2020 or #CreativeMemories, but BE SURE to include #CM1, #CM2, etc., so we can find your post. For Instagram users, you will need to add #NSDWWVC2020 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.

Mandy Reedyk is a CM Advisor from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. She has been scrapbooking for 17 years. She started scrapbooking to document her firstborn’s first year of life and hasn’t stopped since. She’s been an Advisor for one year and was a Consultant years ago with the old CM. She joined as an Advisor because she has always loved CM albums and was overjoyed with the new Happy Album and its size — it’s more in line with the sizing she prefers these days and has created and taught multiple projects with the Happy Albums in the past year.

Do we have to post both a border and the card to qualify for the prizes?
Hi Caroline! You can post one or the other, or both! There will be prizes for both :)
Sneak Peek?!
Yes! Check out the video :) It features a new collection launching on Monday!
This is frustrating …. FaceBook will not let me post because apparently there has been a limit on how much you can post on FaceBook … How can I continue the Virtual Crop when I cannot even post? Guess I am out of this one too! : (
Carmen, you can post until the end of this event:
“You have the entire event to submit all 12 challenges (some will post while you are sleeping).

Hi Carmene – Sometimes it does that to us too! Just wait a bit and then try posting again. There is usually just a limit in a certain amount of time. Like Donna noted, you have the whole event so you still have time!
These cards are perfect for birthdays coming up in my family! I have several men who are train fanatics. So PERFECT! And what little girl wouldn’t love the hot-air balloon sailing through the card? Thank you for such inspiring cards. <3
Marja, your shaker cards are beautiful!
