It’s always a great accomplishment to put that last little touch of an embellishment on or scribble a closing journal caption to finish out a layout and place it into an album… and voilà! A completed masterpiece! (Talk about a mood booster, right?!) Well, if you are nearing the finish line of your latest album, then you should take on the July Completed Album Challenge!
And this family scrapbook layout might just be the extra push you need to end the month on a fabulous (and finished!) note!
(Here’s how it works: If you completed an album this month (does not need to be from start to finish in July, just completed in July), make a short video flipping through each of the pages in your newly completed album. Then, post your video in the Virtual Crop Facebook Group with the hashtag #JulyCropDontStop for the chance to win!
Here’s an example of what your Completed Album Challenge video could look like!
