It’s Time for the February Completed Album Challenge PLUS a Whimsical Two-Page Spread for Spring

Finished an album this month? Now’s the perfect time to head over to the Virtual Crop Group and show it off during the February 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 February, just completed in February), 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 #CompletedFebruary2026 by Mar. 1 at 11:59pm CT (AU: 2 Mar. at 4:59pm AEDT) for the chance to win!
