Book Description

October 22, 2008
Honor your sweetest memories - even with sour photos!

We all find ourselves with a lemon or two - you know, those photos you get when the lighting is bad or your child runs out of the frame. And when they happen to be your only images of an important event or a special memory, that's when things get really sour.

It may be impossible to perfectly capture every moment, but that doesn't mean you can't turn flawed photos into fabulous layouts. When Life Gives You Lemons shows you how to:

  • Use embellishments, transparencies and journaling to disguise photo flaws and minimize distracting backgrounds.
  • Work with blurry, cut-off or poorly framed photos to enhance the theme of a page.
  • Infuse page designs with energy to draw the eye away from imperfections.
  • Edit your images in Photoshop Elements to correct color, remove glare, convert photos to black and white and more.
Life doesn't have do-overs, but with When Life Gives You Lemons as your guide, you won't need them! Bring your most perfect memories to life on the page - less-than perfect photos and all.

By 
This review is from: When Life Gives You Lemons: Turning Sour Photos Into Sweet Scrapbook Layouts (Paperback)
I know, if you scrapbook you are supposed to love to take pictures. Well, I don't, and my pictures show it! This book gives lots of amazing ideas about what to do with all those lousy photos!!!!!!!! Ways to fix them, ways to camouflage them, ways to make them shine! This book is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, March 13, 2009
This review is from: When Life Gives You Lemons: Turning Sour Photos Into Sweet Scrapbook Layouts (Paperback)
This book has great ideas for using "sour" photos! Everything from how to cover up the problem to how to photoshop the problem out. They are easy fixes that you never would have thought of without this book. I recommend this book to anyone (like me) who takes tons of photos that never seem perfect, but still need to be scrapbooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be afraid...to use flawed photos!, September 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: When Life Gives You Lemons: Turning Sour Photos Into Sweet Scrapbook Layouts (Paperback)
Isn't it frustrating to see page after page of beautiful scapbook layouts with perfect photos in books and magazines? Now how many of us in the real world have such pristine pictures? Exactly--not very many! Even when we try our best we can end up with photos that don't capture what we were going for. This book shows you that it's ok to go ahead and use those photos anyway in your scrapbook layouts. Don't be afraid! There are lots of beautiful layouts and techniques to help you hide, disguise, or minimize the flaws in those photos.
