TUTORIAL: Take a look at how to create this sketch with CM Advisor Erina Kousaka.

Erina Kousaka is from Gunma Prefecture. She and her husband have three children — a sixth grader, second grader and preschooler. Erina works as an Album Advisor while running a ranch with her husband and this will be her ninth year as an Advisor to share the mission and to help and support her customers and their albums.


Collection Used: Our Moments

Mai Negishi and her husband have a daughter and son. She’s very happy to see the joy of album-making and the smiles on the faces of her family members.

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.

I love how this layout flows across the pages. Wonderful!
Beautiful! I very much appreciate economically cutting paper instead of multiple layers when much of the paper isn’t visible.
