Challenge #5

Out of Focus
How many of you have a stack of photos that you wish
were better?
Perhaps they are a bit out of focus.
Maybe someone has their eyes closed. Oops is that a
finger in front of the lens? Whatever the issue I am
sure we all have at least one. I know sometimes I am
so disappointed with these photos because either they
are the only pictures I have a certain event or I just
love the emotion in them even if it isn't the
"perfect" shot.

Well now is your chance to pull those bad photos
out...dust them off...& create something beautiful
with them.

The challenge this time is to scrap one or more bad
photos on a layout.

Remember scrapbooking is about telling the story &
preserving memories. It doesn't always have to be
fabulous photos.

Allow yourself to have some fun with them. Be creative
& make sure to share your link in the comments when
you are done.

Deadline for submissions is midnight EST on October
15th. Our Creative Team will choose a winner shortly
after that for a cool scrappy prize.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Here's what our creative team came up with:

ere is a page using a blurry photo of my daughter, Mary Beth. Her sister took it, I think, and was just way too close! The stuff painted on her face was inspired by my friend Rachel ...whose artistic creativity amazes me. Rusty Pickle Pirate Princess papers are Fun with a capital "F!"
