Prizes will be awarded to two (2) participants in each challenge — one (1) prize to anyone who completes the sketch using any products on-hand and one (1) prize will be awarded to a participant who includes product(s) from the Essential or Premium Secret Box #3. We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident that you have used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using predominantly Creative Memories products. Prize winners will be announced on Thursday, Sept. 15, at 3pm CT.


Worldwide Virtual Crop Challenge #3:

TUTORIAL: Create your own sunshine by watching how CM Advisor Bec Franke made the sun embellishment below.

Bec Franke has been loving Creative Memories products since seeing them at a Perth craft fair in 2003. At first, it was a great way to showcase her travel photos from around the world. Now she is married and has two girls — three years and 20 months — and her albums have changed focus to the life of her kids so they will remember how loved they are. As an Advisor, Bec has a wonderful group of ladies who she meets with monthly and calls her friends.





Collection Used: Sunrays for Days

Early in 2000, Rae Dowie attended a craft show where she booked into her first workshop, signed up as an Advisor two days later and quickly became addicted. Now her passion is working on family albums and holding monthly workshops with her team. She also attends five to six expos/shows each year to share her love for preserving photos and memories with others.

Collection Used: Serene Waters
Here’s another idea on how to use this sketch with the 2022 Secret Box #3 products from CM Japan!


CM Japan also provided sketch measurements for your convenience.
Please note that measurements will not be provided consistently for future Virtual Crops.

Same here. Bec, your layout is fabulous!
The page from Japan for Sketch #3 is very elegant and just what I need for my Family Heritage pages ~ thank you!
Exciting layout. I made mine Christmas themed. Turned out beautiful. I would post if I could figure out how.
