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

Once you have completed your album (it does not need to be from start to finish in April, just completed in April), 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 #CompletedApril2026 by May 3 at 11:59pm CT (AU: 4 May at 2:59pm AET) for the chance to win!

Layout by **Brenda Rose**, Creative Memories Design Team Contributor

To create this layout, you will need:

Step 1: Use the blue plaid Fast2Fab™ Inspired Paper as the base of your layout, with the cloud and moon design in the top left corner.

Step 2: Punch one 12″ Bear Chain Border from Orange Shimmer Paper. Set the heart punch scraps aside to use later, then adhere the border along the bottom of the page within the light wood section.

Step 3: Adhere one 4″ x 6″ photo along the left edge, approximately 2-1/2″ from the bottom edge of the base page. Add two 4″ x 4″ photos directly to the right, positioning them 2″ from the bottom edge. Finish by placing one 4″ x 6″ photo along the right edge, aligning it with the left photo, 2-1/2″ from the bottom edge.

Step 4: Trim the journaling embellishment to 1″ and place it above the photo on the right.

Step 5: Finish by adding embellishments to the the top left and below the photos. Scatter the heart punch scraps around the embellishment clusters.

Step 6: Journal as desired.
