"Hi this is Michele Wright and I am a Creative Memories consultant and I am passionate about helping people tell their stories. This is a fun and easy page to do for a baby album. I looked at this picture. My daughter is now 15 years old and I just love this picture. It is sort of blued out because it is old and so I decided to go ahead and not try to hide that but to enhance it by just putting a blue background on. So I put a blue background here on my page and I chose from our Creative Memories story box a quick little background for the photo so that we have a little bit of contrasting color and I'm going to put that right up here. I want to put a divider across the page so I am going to use one of the Creative Memories ribbons and we'll just snip that off and if it's a little too long then we will go ahead and snip it after we're done with the page but these new paper ribbons make it really fun and it looks like it's going to work, just about right there and I like using some of these papers that have a little bit of line on it because it helps you to get it roughly straight going across the page and our new paper flowers are really fun because you can build a quick little flower by just pressing like this and sticking it on right here and then we have a wonderful punch that allows you to choose two different designs, one with holes and one without and I'm going to put those down here with her name and spell it out and I am using the white letters so that it's easy to see and I have alternated using the two different designs, you just flip the little switch right there and it lets you choose which design you want and so I'm going to do her name and I'm going to punch the last one right here and that one is one with the holes so I've got it dialed to the hole and we will do it like this and we'll find her Y and take off her Y from our paper from our letters Emily for Emily and I really like the vellum sayings. Creative Memories has a whole list of they are called expressions and this is from the expressions of love and I'm going to just put a hole in that one and I have a little tiny piece of thing somewhere, right here, appearing, thank you very much. So we stick this in and this is actually the same ribbon only I have just cut it down so that it is smaller and we will stick where it says I look into your eyes I see the greatest miracle given to me. You are the joy of every day. Your smile guides my way and we're done with our baby page."
