Hi my name is Michelle Wright. I have been a Creative Memories consultant for 17 years and I love helping people tell their stories. There are different techniques for doing that and the best technique is the technique that you love. So I'm going to show you several this morning and I'm going to use this to help me. There are different pathways that you can follow getting from your camera to your final product. One of them is a picfolio pathway. This is a Creative Memories album that allows you to just slip your photos in. It allows you to expand and move your pictures around so that you can choose what you would like to do and it's quick and easy and still allows for journaling which is actually the most important part of your album. Another pathway is to go with digital albums and again you're going from your camera to a final product. I have two final products right here. This is a retreat that some women went on. One of the reasons I absolutely love this new digital pathway is that when I made this album 15 of these women wanted this album. Normally with a traditional album that would have just overwhelmed me going back and making 15. What I did is I just came back and clicked send me 15 more. It was wonderful. It also works really well for family reunions or gifts. If you can think of different people at your wedding for instance who might want a copy of the wedding album. It just is a wonderful technique for scrapbooking. This is another digital album and what I'm doing here is I got my digital camera in 2005 and I'm starting from 2005 doing all of mine and with four children I just love the fact that I don't have four albums open any more. I just do the pictures of our family for that year and hit send me four. It's so exciting and the third way of doing a pathway, let me move this over, is the traditional path and you again start with your camera and you end up with the final product being an album that you can have a lot of fun with with cutting paper and doing all the fun things that we love in scrapbooking and you end up with pages that celebrate your family and tell your story. So there are different ways of doing albums and whatever way is your favorite way or a mixture of the three. Sometimes you'll want to do a specific album for a specific reason but whatever is your favorite way of doing it is the best way so enjoy whatever technique you use and have fun telling your story.
