New Year's Day all-day virtual crop
Mark your calendar for January 1st! We're hosting an all-day virtual crop event that's designed to help you kick off the new year with creativity and fun. This isn't just any crafting session – it's a full day dedicated to making memories, finishing projects, and connecting with crafters from around the globe. Whether you want to work on layouts from last year's memories, create cards for upcoming birthdays, or start fresh with new projects, this virtual crop is your chance to dedicate time to your craft. The beauty of a virtual crop is that you can join from the comfort of your own craft space. No need to pack up supplies or travel anywhere – just settle in with your favorite crafting goodies and connect with us online. Pop in and out throughout the day as your schedule allows, or settle in for the entire event. There's no pressure, just pure crafting enjoyment and the company of like-minded creative souls.What to expect during the virtual crop
During our New Year's Day virtual crop, you can expect plenty of interaction, inspiration, and fun activities. We'll have challenges throughout the day to spark your creativity, opportunities to share your work-in-progress projects, and lots of chatting about techniques, products, and ideas. It's a judgment-free zone where everyone's creativity is celebrated, whether you're making simple cards or elaborate scrapbook layouts. Many participants find that virtual crops help them actually finish projects that have been sitting on their craft desk for months. There's something motivating about crafting alongside others, even when we're all in different locations. You'll discover new ways to use products you already own, get inspired by what others are creating, and maybe even make a few new crafting friends along the way.How to join the fun
