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 #12:
- 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. Keep refreshing the Facebook Event Page to see others’ masterpieces!

hello I’m scrapbooking
Welcome!
Is there somewhere that shows all 12 challenge sketches? It’s difficult to choose which will fit my photos when I have to look at each blog post. Thanks! Sue
Would you post all 12 challenge sketches in one blog post, please? Easier to match with my photos that way, so I can catch up!
Hi Sue! You can see them all together on the Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/events/645441692975194
What I do is copy and paste each layout diagram and print them out onto copy paper. That way I don’t have to keep looking for the blog posts. I’ve only had time to do layouts 1 and 2 but I will go back to these diagrams and finish up as I can. My goal is never to worry about completing pages just to try to win a prize – the prize is in getting layouts done!
Love these ideas Jenny! Very creative!!
Thanks for all the ideas on how to use the camera love punch.
They’re great.
