July Completed Album Challenge PLUS Berry Harvest Layout Made With Love

Finished an album this month? Now’s the perfect time to head over to the Virtual Crop Group and show it off during the July Completed Album Challenge! If you need inspiration to get those last few pages done, check out this sweet layout to preserve your favorite memories!

Once you have completed your album (it 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 to share. Then, post your video in the Virtual Crop Group with the hashtag #CompletedJuly2025 for the chance to win!

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

Layout by Krislyn Mattei — CM Design Team

To create this layout, you will need:

Step 1: Use a sheet of Bright White Cardstock as the base for this layout. Using the 12-inch Trimmer, cut a 1-1/2? L shape from a sheet of the red gingham designer paper. Adhere along the left and bottom edges of the base. Adhere two yellow scalloped border stickers on the edges as shown, trimming with Micro-Tip Scissors as needed.

Step 2: Cut several 1-1/2? squares and 1-1/2? x 2-1/2? pieces with a variety of designer papers (strawberries, jars, yellow stripes, light blue dots, ribbon stripes and red dots). Adhere your piece next to the L shape as shown, leaving 1/8? space around and between the pieces.

Step 3: Cut two 4-3/16? x 5-11/16? pieces of Red Solid Cardstock and adhere on the layout. Top with two 3-7/8? x 5-3/8? pieces of beige gingham designer paper and two photos cropped to 3-5/8? x 5-1/8?. Cut two 2-11/16? squares with the light blue dots paper and one with the Canary Solid Cardstock. Top with two photos and one square of the beige gingham designer paper cut to 2-3/8? x 2-3/8?. Adhere on the top of the layout as shown.

Step 4: Adhere stickers on the paper pieces and journal box, popping some up with foam squares for dimension.

Step 5: Journal on the journal box as desired.
