2026 VVCAL Tips & Tricks Page

Published by

Hello, lovely crafter! With the 2026 VVCAL starting on Friday, April 3rd, I thought it would be nice to make a separate page with the frequently asked questions so that anyone new to the VVCAL can take a look at the concerns I have compiled over the past years. We’ll also take a walk down memory lane to give an intro to the VVCAL! I start with an introduction to the CAL so if you’re new to it, you can get a good sense of what it’s all about. I hope you enjoy this long and photo-driven post! I really brought out all of the good pics to show you the possibilities.
