Virtual Event Details

Date: Saturday, September 19, 2026

Time: To be announced

Location: CropTacular Virtual Scrapbooking Events Facebook Group

Join us for Create & Inspire, an uplifting and inspirational virtual event designed to spark creativity, encourage completion of pages for your albums, and provide connection with fellow scrapbookers.

Using the contents of your Grab Bag ("Bougie Bag")—along with your personal stash—you’ll work through creative challenges. The challenges will be listed in your Bougie Bag and are the same in every Bougie Bag. You may begin the challenges on your own at any time prior to the event. With this mini event, there will be three main challenges and several bonus challenges.

On Saturday, September 19, lead designer Andrea Deer will host segments for each of the main challenges. During each segment, she will:

• Share tips, ideas, and creative approaches
• Walk through the challenge concept
• Show sample completed project examples

Andrea will also host a virtual class themed to summer. The class project will be available on our website beginning August 5.

Participants are encouraged to upload photos of their projects and leave comments directly in the corresponding challenge video.
