Girl's Night Out!

Another layout created using the August Escape kit from SFTIO! I have an exclusive content post up on the Scrapbooking From the Inside Out board today with this layout (plus a few others). The focus of my article is scrapbooking with "imperfect photos". I love the photo on this layout because of our smiles. But it was taken with my phone camera. And if you look at it a little closer, it is blurry. Plus the colors and lighting are off. I just had to scrap it anyway though! :)

Do you scrap photos that aren't so perfect? :)

*ETA - I am linking this layout up over at Paper Issues for their current "Sew Cute, You Keep Me in Stitches" issue. :)

    I find that it's more the moment than the quality of the photo when scrapbooking. I love the colours on this layout, and it seems very 'clean' to me :)

    Too cute! Those doors are the best! (Oh, I am always scrapping imperfect photos. I wish I were the ultimate photographer, but I'm not.)

    I love the doors on the layout! They are so cool!

    I don't mind scrapping with imperfect photos. Especially now with project life, so many of my photos are on my phone, and they aren't all great. But it still captures the story, so I don't mind!

    I use a lot of imperfect photos in my scrapbooks. My kids just won't sit still for the perfect photo op. :)
    I love that you scrapbooked GNO. I always mean to take a photo at our GNOs but I never seem to remember to.
    I love those doors-so cool!

    Even though it may be hard, I do scrap imperfect photos. It might be the only one I have of a certain event! Those doors are so cute on your layout!

    Great layout, looks like a fun evening.
    I have to scrapbook my imperfect photos as most of mine are, lol.
    I get what I get and hope for the best as I just have a point and shoot and don't edit my photos.
