A REFRESHING Pop-up Challenge: #HydrationScrapNation

Posted on June 23, 2023June 23, 2023 by Creative Memories

National Hydration Day is June 23, and what better way to celebrate the awesomeness of aqua than to commit to staying hydrated! H₂O is an integral part of our lives that keeps us healthy and happy — of course it’s necessary to drink water on the daily, but also think of days spent on the lake, at the pool or waterpark, hunkered down on a rainy day, jumping into puddles and so much more! So, we challenge you to pay homage to the gift and element that is water by taking on the National Hydration Day Pop-up Challenge in the Virtual Crop Facebook Group by creating a layout featuring H₂O designs on your page… AND the prize package includes a supply of Serene Waters goodies! While you’re taking on this challenge, let’s all commit to staying HYDRATED!

Let’s Celebrate the Earth: #2023EarthDayBONUS Challenge

Posted on April 21, 2023April 21, 2023 by Creative Memories

As scrapbookers, we can spend a whole day away crafting, creating and concocting new and innovative projects, which means lots of papers, adhesives, stickers, embellishments and more. But before you throw away those little paper scraps and Tape Runner Refills, make the most out of your materials with an Earth Day scrapbook initiative — practice eco-friendly scrapping with ease by taking part in the latest-and-greatest (and perhaps greenest!) pop-up challenge!

You’ll want to join us in the Virtual Crop Facebook Group today to take on our #2023EarthDayBONUS challenge! It includes 3 sketch challenges (all of which will help you use up paper scraps!) OR you can choose to create a layout of your own that incorporates ladybugs or leaves as an homage to the current Spend/Get Promo (CA | AU)! Use your scraps or feel inspired by ladybugs and leaves — the choice is yours for the chance to win!

So without further ado, let’s get to it!
