Happy Monday! I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend. Here in PA the weather was beautiful, & we rode bikes & played outside for several hours yesterday. It felt so good to be outside, & get some fresh air!
Now, I’m sure that we all have taken some “not so great” photos. I know that I have!! But what do you do when it is the only photo that captures the moment that you wanted to get? That very thing happened to me at my parents 40th anniversary wedding/vow renewals. My parents were doing their dance, & you could just see the love on their faces! Unfortunately the movement & lighting & where I was standing, well, let’s just say that the picture did not turn out so hot. See for yourself:

I told you! It came out a bit blurry, & not so useable for anything, right? ….. or so I thought!
I really wanted to use this picture. Their smiling, & being close, it just captured the moment. So, what I did, I got some patterened paper, some rub ons, ribbon, eyelets, & a nice piece of velum. I centered the picture onto the patterned paper, cut my velum to the desired measurements, popped in some eyelets, thread the ribbon, added a few rub-ons, & viola! It has now become a sneak peak into a private moment at my parents renewal reception. The velum covered up my less than perfect picture, & I got a pretty good page to add to my parents scrapbook.

Have you ever used a “Not So Good Photo” on a layout? If so, please share with us, in the forum, what you did & how you made your picture workable.
Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful week!
