May Completed Album Challenge PLUS A Lake Life Layout

Yay! Today is the day we kick off the May Completed Album Challenge in the Virtual Crop Facebook Group! Whether you’ve finished a traditional 12×12 or 8×8 album, a Paper Album or Fast2Fab™ (like Diane from CM Home Office completed!), share it with us and you may end up being a prize winner!

Close to completing an album? We’re pitching the lake life scrapbook layout below to you to try out!

If you completed an album this month (does not need to be from start to finish in May, just completed in May), 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 #CompletedMay2024 for the chance to win!

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

For ALL the details on the Completed Album Challenge, check out this blog post.


Layout by Krislyn Mattei — CM Independent Advisor

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of Blue Solid Cardstock as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut an 11-1/2? x 2-7/8? strip with buffalo check paper. Round the corners using the 2-Way Corner Rounder. Repeat with stars, reeds and cabin papers. Adhere to the layout as shown.

Step 3: Cut a 3? x 12? strip with Cranberry Solid Cardstock. Adhere to the layout, about 1-1/2? from the left edge. Adhere embellishments on top, popping the title up with Foam Squares for dimension.

Step 4: Crop three photos to 5-1/2? x 3-1/2? and mount on the layout.

Step 5: Cut two 1/8? strips with Cranberry Solid cardstock. Fold accordion-style every 3? and adhere on the two middle rounded strips as shown. Trim off the excess.

Step 6: Adhere sections of Write-On! Stickers (or White Solid Cardstock strips) on the layout and journal as desired.

Will you be finishing up an album this month? Remember to share a short video of you flipping through your completed album in the Virtual Crop Facebook Group (with the hashtag #CompletedMay2024) for a chance to be a lucky winner!
