Has this ever happened to you?

Question

Have you ever finished a LO and then you come across even better pictures of the event? And you can't just make another page because you're out of the paper you used? What do you do? Try to peel up the mediocre pictures and replace them with the better ones?

The short answer is yes!  I'd peel off the mediocre ones and add the better  ones! M-C

Just did this tonight with a Christmas LO. I thought I had all of the photos  together and after I made the LO I found an envelope with a couple of more  prints in it my DD had given me that were much better. I peeled the first ones right off - much better LO. Sandy

Ok, that's what I did! I redid page 4 of my DragonCon book with some pics my friend sent me. He was actually there for the event, whereas my pics were from the day after. So it's much cooler now.

You can take some dental floss to get the pictures off with minimum damage,  just slide it under the picture.  Un Do is real good stuff to use too, you  can get it at Wal-Mart. Jacqui

Thanks!  I actually had no problem getting the pics off, I guess my glue  stick isn't super powerful.  They left a little residue but I was just  replacing the pics anyway so the new ones covered it up.

I'll either dismantle the page and do it again with the new pics... or more likely I'll just do a whole new page with different paper.

Yes, that's exactly what I do..."peel up the mediocre pictures and replace they with the better ones." It does sometime tear the paper underneath, but the picture is going right back on top, so hasn't been a factor. Only once did it affect the area outside of the picture and I creatively covered it up. Not sure anyone would know. I've used dental floss with great success. I've tried using a product called Undue and I'm not too sure I like it yet. It did so so.

I've found the sooner I peel something off the easier it is.  I think your  glue will stick better as it ages.  When it's fresh things seem to peel off  easier. Lynne

Luna · Answer

Yeah, when I printed the new photos I cropped them in Photoshop same as  the old ones, but I didn't measure exactly right, so when I glued the  new ones down there was still a little bit of dried glue gunk showing.   I had inked the edges of the photos with a silver gel pen (don't know  why exactly, just thought it looked neat) so before it was completely  dry I just smudged it a bit around the photos.  Covered the glue and  looked like I'd done it on purpose, so all's good.
