NSD 2020 Happy Hour Virtual Crop

Posted on by Creative Memories

Welcome to the first-ever National Scrapbook Day Happy Hour Virtual Crop! We’re so excited that you’ve decided to join us — we’ve got an extended afternoon full of cropping, crafting, creativity (and perhaps saying “cheers!”) and the chance to win an exclusive 12×12 album cover! Let’s get started!

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.

Reminder About Post Approvals & Security

IMPORTANT: THIS IS A FREE EVENT. If you see anything asking you to enter credit card information, it is NOT LEGITIMATE.

Due to spam posts because of the popularity of our virtual events, we have had to change our virtual events so that each post submitted must be approved by an admin.

  • The Home Office team will approve your post as quickly as possible. Please give the team 4 hours to approve your post.
  • All posts submitted from now through the 11:59pm CT deadline on Sunday will be reviewed and approved prior to the winner selection on Thursday, May 7.
  • Thank you! This is to ensure the safety and enjoyment of this event for everyone!

How It Works

We will host three (3) challenges on Saturday, May 2, at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm (all CT) (Australia Sunday, 3 May at 10am, 11am, 12pm all AET). When you post your version of a challenge, you’ll have a chance to win the exclusive album cover! 

Ways to Win: 

  • There will be one random winner selected for each challenge. 
  • There will be one winner for most creatively-themed NSD drink — post your photo and your recipe in this event! (Hint: You can post anytime!)
  • There will be one random winner selected from every attendee who posts a “hello” message, as well as where they are scrapbooking from. 
  • For Challenges #1 and #2, you can use any CM product for your projects for a chance to win!
  • For Challenge #3 you must use a National Scrapbook Day Kit to win.

The Prize

The prize for all 3 challenges of the NSD Happy Hour Virtual Crop will be the exclusive 12×12 Caribbean Strawberries Album Cover. Prizes will be awarded to three 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. We will also be awarding one album cover to the winner of the drink challenge and one album cover will be awarded at random to someone who says hello in the event page (Australia: Click here for your event) and tells us where they are scrapping from. Prizes will be announced on Thursday, May 7, at 3pm CT.

  1. To whom this may concern…… Can you please limit the number of emails you are sending out. I am getting several emails from you daily. It is getting tiresome…you are sending too many emails. Please cut back.

      1. It’s right above the comments here, using the NSD Project Recipe kit. Hope that helps.

  6. I had a lot of technical challenges with too many screens – NSD Virtiual + Blog + Happy Hour… Clicking links resulted in several times the previous crop came up and I was looking at challenge sketches from there. I finally saved a few to my fav browser and closed everything to start over…Its all a great deal of fun but I spent a lot of time managing the chaos in my computer today. I am so far behind I might have to stay up all night to complete all the challenges!
