    Got a photo that's less than glam? Try a fun, tongue-in-cheek approach: like this "Remember when we were young and beautiful" card.

    Guest Melody Ross shares a technique that salvages less-than-spectacular photos.

    Materials:

    Double-sided cardstock
    Scissors
    Adhesive
    Scrapbook windows
    Scrapbook nails
    Embellishments

    1. Begin by using tiny photos cropped from unwanted group photos. Crop what's useable from a photo rather than letting the entire image go unused. Attach the cropped photo directly to front of card, or mat on a small square of coordinating paper.

    2. Place window over the photo and mat, then use Scrapbook nails to hold in place.

    3. Write greeting by hand, or print on computer.
