During the Hollywood Crop, we failed to announce a winning crop team. As tradition has it, one winning team will be chosen to receive the entire collection of exclusive Blueprints. For this event, we had 6 Hollywood Crop Exclusives. However, we have since added all of the Mountain Top Crop Exclusive Blueprints to the Prizes page. That being said, we are giving all winning team members who had a ticket to the Hollywood Crop the opportunity to choose 6 Exclusive Blueprints of their choice.
CONGRATULATIONS to NeeNee Cherry and #p2PGroovyGrannies on having the winning team page for the Hollywood Crop. Everyone on team #p2PGroovyGrannies that had a ticket to the Hollywood Crop are eligible to choose 6 Exclusive Blueprints of their choice from the Prizes form. Please add #HWCWinningTeam to each prize submission form.

The first draft of the Group Photo is available. Please note that only people who actually wore the Hollywood Crop Shirt were included. We did not include any t-shirt PNG flats, swapped heads, cloned logos, or super imposed images. Additionally, if you did not custom cut your photo, it was not included. Those who did not save their image as a png, but did custom cut it were included as it did not take a lot of effort to cut.
If you would like to be included, please add your image to Group Photo Collab album before Monday, April 18, 2022. Your image must be a full body image, custom cut and saved out as a PNG be added. The full body image is important as we are not sure where your image will be placed.
Put on your t-shirt, take a full body photo of yourself in front of a solid background. You can then use the Wand Tool or Custom Cutter to cut away the background and save a .PNG and upload to our Group Photo Collaborative Album.
These offerings are helpful in getting the best custom cut:
- Tool Tip: Clean Cuts featuring the Custom Cutter
- Tool Tip: Clean Cuts featuring the Erase Tool
- Video Tidbit: The Magic Wand
After you cut out your image, right click the cutout> Save selection> Export to image file. Name your image Last Name, First Name and save as a png file.
If you do not need your image in the group photo and it was submitted properly, please email same to Tameka Bond at tbond@forever.com on or before end of day on Monday, April 18, 2022.

T-shirts and Group Photos
We know you all are wondering when is the best time to wear your t-shirt. While we know there is only one t-shirt, we would love it if you would wear it as much as possible from Friday to Sunday. The pixels2Pages Team will be wearing their shirt all day Saturday and possibly during the Get2Gether sessions. Whenever you do put on your t-shirt we encourage you to get a full body photo of yourself in front of a solid background. You can then use the Wand Tool or Custom Cutter to cut away the background and save a .png and upload to our Group Photo Collaborative Album.
These offerings are helpful in getting the best custom cut:
- Tool Tip: Clean Cuts featuring the Custom Cutter

We know that many of you who did not order or have not received the Softbound copy of the Idea Book are anxious to see all of the wonderful training that is coming your way. We have worked fast to format the digital version and create the posts for the links inside of the issue. While this issue is linked, none of the posts will be live until April 3, 2022. We still have work to do on all 22 individual posts for this event, and that will take some time. Clicking on any of the links in the issue (other than the go to page links) will result in an error. We just didn't want you to wait any longer. Enjoy.

March 26, 2022
All of the Hollywood Crop Idea Books have been shipped. If you don't receive tracking information or your idea book by April 1, 2022, you can reach out to us at pixels2pages@forever.com.
Also, some people have received shipping notifications for Mountain Top Crop Idea Books (2021 Virtual Party). These notifications were automatically generated when we closed out orders that were left open from last year. Anyone who received this notification should not receive a book in connection with the Mountain Top Crop order. If you do, you can email us at pixels2pages@forever.com.

Do you love eating French fries out of a popcorn box in the movies? Well neither do we. The Hollywood Crop Kit had an embellishment that was mislabeled and just completely wrong. Would you believe it if we said we did it to test you and see if you were tagging? Well, that is our story and we are sticking to it. However, we decided that it is important that we give you the proper embellishment. The kit was updated today at 12:00 noon Eastern Time. If you have already downloaded this kit, please visit your FOREVER account downloads, redownload and replace the kit. Any tagging you have done will need to be redone. Hey! It's good practice. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and as our gift to all the French fry lovers out there, we have left the French fries in a popcorn box image in the kit for a bit of fun.
It also has been brought to our attention that some of you have been having a hard time activating the Butterfly Lane Kit from Designs by Mandy King which we gave out as part of our Week 2 distributions. If you have this kit and it will not activate, we have created a unique fixed activation code for this kit. Please use this code to activate the kit: 4R6BT-KJQX8-KK26P-8BQXM
March 22, 2022 - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello Ticket-Holders,
I am here writing an announcement that I did not want to have to make. I am going to keep it as short and to the point as possible, so this may seem a little curt. That is not my intent. My intent is to be factual, specific, and to the point.
Please note that:
- The pixels2Pages Team is fully and completely owned by FOREVER. We are a fully integrated part of the FOREVER Team. We are not a separate company, though we were prior to 2016.
- I have access to a variety of reports as the Manager of pixels2Pages and an employee of FOREVER.
- All of our downloads and site visits get recorded and made a part of a variety of reports (events, sales, products, subscriptions, etc.).
- Webinars require registration so that we can obtain necessary reports.
- A part of my job is to assess these reports to create the best user experience.
- As a ticket-holder to this event, everyone was asked not to share or post links to this event.
I run a variety of checks to make sure that those who should have access to content do have access to content, and those who shouldn't have access, don't have access. After reviewing reports over the past two weeks, I have noticed that quite a few people are accessing this event, downloading freebies, and attending webinars without having paid for a ticket to this event. Because none of the links are publicly shared, this can only mean that a valid ticket-holder is sharing links.
The FOREVER pixels2Pages Team prefers to work on the honor system. While we wait for important functionality, we want to continue to make your experience simple, easy, and fun. This means that certain items are not as restricted as they should/could be. That being said, at all of our events we notice that some things are accessed by people who should not have access. That does not mean we don't know who has accessed this content.
Sharing content with those who should not have access is hurtful to the teams that worked so hard to pull off this event, hurtful to the people who paid for the event, and hurtful to future events. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE LINKS. Even if you think someone has a ticket, we ask that you direct the customer to pixels2pages@forever.com or support@forever.com for assistance. You have no way of knowing if someone has purchased a ticket and then gotten a refund or if there are some other issues that should restrict access.
While reviewing the reports is very time-consuming, we will be reviewing them more thoroughly and have been reaching out to those who have been accessing the event without a ticket. While our time could be better used focusing on the event, we feel this is important. Those who are accessing this event without a paid ticket may be asked to pay for this event and may be banned from future events.
-Tameka Bond, Manager of pixels2Pages

We are so excited. After reviewing our sales report, we realized that we had more books sold than we originally thought (942). We actually had 1,002 Idea books that were ordered. Our FOREVER Team in Green Bay is packing the books and getting them ready to ship as we speak. It is time to stalk your mailboxes.

Hollywood Crop T-Shirt
Tomorrow, March 18, 2022, is the last day for Canadian ticket holders to purchase their Hollywood Crop T-shirt and be guaranteed to receive it in time for the event. Ticket holders in the U.S. must purchase their t-shirt no later than March 25th in order to get guaranteed delivery before the event. While the time for guaranteed delivery to Australia/New Zealand has expired, you can still order this keepsake t-shirt with a possibility of delivery before the event, but delivery is not guaranteed. CLICK HERE to order your t-shirt and make sure you will be part of our Hollywood Crop Group photo (details to come soon). This may be our best looking t-shirt ever.
(Remember to order 1 size larger than you normally wear. Order 2 sizes up if you like a little extra room. Sizes go up to a size 4x.)
Noni Shugg and Sue Thoenes are looking fabulous in their t-shirts. We want you to look fabulous too!
Hollywood Crop Idea Book
We are so excited to say that the bulk order of the Hollywood Crop Idea Book was placed and we expect to begin shipping 942 copies of the Hollywood Crop Special Edition of Pages Magazine sometime next week.
March 1, 2022
We are in the final process of creating the idea book and will be printing a test copy before sending all of the bulk orders to print. Since it will be a few more days before we actually place the bulk order, we will leave sales open until that time comes. We will close out book sales without further notice at any time between March 5, 2022 and March 11, 2022.
If you would like a keepsake printed copy of the Hollywood Crop Idea Book, please order as soon as possible.CLICK HERE to pre-order your copy.

At 7:30 PM on February 27, 2022 the Hollywood Crop Profile and Badge Page kit was replaced so that you could read the instruction of the profile page while in dark mode. If you have already downloaded the kit, and you are in dark mode, you can add a white rectangle on each side of the workspace and make it the full height of the page and position it at the bottom of the elements panel. The white rectangle will make it easy to read the instructions.
The Spring Chicken Hen Party Kit from Distribution 1 had a typo in one of the elements. An embellishment card says "girl's night our" instead of "girl's night out." If you downloaded this kit prior to 2:00 PM Eastern on February 27, 2022, please remove the kit from your content library and redownload it. If you already tagged and categorized this kit, you will need to download and retag/categorize the updated kit.
