A bonus to challenges being on the blog is that when you subscribe you\u2019ll get an email with each new challenge. Enter your email on the blog to subscribe: https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/<\/a><\/p>\n All of the ideas and inspiration will help you get projects completed – and it\u2019s a ton of fun to connect with fellow scrappers across North America.<\/p>\n This Virtual Crop will focus on the Holidays: gift giving, home decor, cards, layouts and more. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n You won\u2019t want to miss it!<\/p>\n Stop in for one challenge or stay for all of them.
