Custom Products and Digital Artwork Kits are back now for a limited time, May 1-30, and we’re challenging you to get creative and show off your skills by creating a Digital Artwork layout or Custom Theme project and sharing it in the Virtual Crop Group.

We have pre-loaded backgrounds and elements (from various Creative Memories collections for your free use) or upload your photos to make them the star of your album cover!

Custom Pages
Quick Info: Create 16 pages with your own designs, perfect for highlighting special events or adding unique flair to your album. These pages still have the protected edge and reinforced edging you know and love from Creative Memories to seamlessly fit in your albums. Use full-page photos, utilize the built-in layouts, type and design on your pages! You can keep them digitally designed or enhance with physical embellishments, journaling and Peekaboo Pockets!
