The second weekend of the month is here… do you know what that means? A Virtual Crop is underway! Yes, it’s time for the November Virtual Crop and we’re kicking it all off with Challenge #1!
If this is your first time participating in a Virtual Crop and you would like a quick step-by-step guide of what to expect before you jump in, you can get ALL the details on Virtual Crops in this blog post, including how to participate (in our Virtual Crop Facebook Group), supplies you’ll need, examples of challenges, the types of prizes and more.
Welcome to the Secret Box #4 Big Reveal!
Challenge #1
View the rules and how prizes are awarded here ➤

NOTE: The Prize Pack will be awarded to two (2) participants in each challenge — one (1) prize will be awarded randomly to anyone who completes the sketch using any products on-hand (provided they are predominantly Creative Memories products) and one (1) prize will be awarded to a participant who includes product(s) from the Secret Box #4 to complete their layout of the sketch. Valid only for products currently in stock (excludes products that are out of stock and expected to return).
We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident you used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using predominantly Creative Memories products. Prize winners will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 17, at noon CT.

And, here’s another idea on how to use this sketch with the Secret Box #4 products from CM Japan!


CM Japan also provided sketch measurements for your convenience.
Please note that measurements will not be provided consistently for future Virtual Crops.
Want to try out the Virtual Crop digitally? Check out our demo of how to use Custom Albums, Custom Album Covers or Custom Refill Pages. When you complete the sketch, instead of snapping a photo of your layout, take a screenshot and submit it to the Virtual Crop Facebook Group.

This is so confusing! The advisor in the video keeps referencing 2×2 squares but the square she cut is clearly larger than 2×2. Even her note says 2.5 x 2.5.
I agree. She must’ve used 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 for the four corners page and 2×2 for the frame page
