Challenge -- Scrap a Messy Photo

We've all got pictures that are less than stellar -- I've got some that are *really* bad, in fact. But I love the sentiment behind the photo to much to toss it out. So what do you do with these kinds of photos? Scrap them anyway! There are lots of ways to disguise a messy photo: try an extraction, experiment with some creative cropping, add embellishments to cover it up, play with colors and filters...the list goes on!

We want to see how you scrap a messy photo! Here are three layouts from our Design Team to help get those ideas moving.

ETA:  We would love to see the before photos, too - post them along with your layout in the Challenge Gallery , too if you would like to share them.
