July Completed Album Challenge PLUS A Dog Scrapbook Layout

Ahhhhh! Adhering that final embellishment or putting the cap on your journal pen and placing that final layout into your scrapbook album — there’s nothing quite so satisfying when you finish an album and show it to friends or slide it perfectly into your bookshelf! And this satisfaction action is back for another month’s rendition of the Completed Album Challenge!

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 #CompletedJuly2023 for the chance to win!

Here’s an example of what your Completed Album Challenge video could look like!
