Gather up your Festive Fourth papers and Firecracker Punch, because blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu has a fantastic fireworks scrapbook layout for you to try out!

Due to COVID-19, 2020 is going to be remembered as a difficult and unusual year for so many. A lot of the year has been filled with a bit of gloom or unsteadiness, and many are looking for the silver lining. As scrapbookers, it’s up to us to find the bright sides in these situations and bring them to life in our albums and projects. Take a look at this DIY quarantine card and quarantine scrapbook border ideas and start thinking about how you can use the Love Each Other Theme Pack to promote positivity!
It’s been an inspiring weekend for scrapbookers everywhere — we held a Virtual Crop on our Facebook page and it was truly a blast! But if you missed it and want to try out some sketches, or even if you did participate and are still looking for more projects to try out, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the Weekly Sketch Round-Up!
Where did the time go? Can you believe we’ve come to the last challenge for this Virtual Crop? It’s been so wonderful getting to scrapbook with you over the past two days and we hope you were just as inspired as we were when checking out the layouts that were created!
This Virtual Crop has been a total smash hit! No matter what the challenge is, you continue to produce incredible layouts that we’re in awe of! We hope your second (or third) wind is kicking in because there are still two challenges remaining!
Welcome back! We hope you’re ready for another jam-packed day of scrapbooking. We have three challenges scheduled today, plus three prizes to go along with them. (Woohoo!) Ready, set, let’s go into Challenge #4!
