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


Worldwide Virtual Crop project created by Bec Franke from Australia.

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.

Here's some inspiration

Worldwide Virtual Crop project created by Rae Dowie from Australia.

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.
