I'm more likely to take the time to do big edits on a photo that's special in some way and will be used in more than just 1 scrapbook layout.
My best (worst?) examples aren't in the gallery, but here are a few I found. This photo was taken during a year when all the photos of the 3 kids together looked horribly awkward. This was the best of the bunch, and I wanted to hang it on the wall so I took the time to edit out the bench in the background.
The screen door DD is holding open in the middle photo looked terrible! It was old and dingy. I could have fixed it up digitally, but it wasn't worth the time. I just covered it with the top photo and the cluster and moved on.

First of all what bench?
Second, I never thought of covering it with another photo.

Like I was telling Rachel, never would have thought but it kind of makes 100% total sense.

I can only think of one occasion where I have covered something deliberately. My daughter broke up with her boyfriend soon after my 50th birthday party last year. When I scrapped the family photos I was so glad that he was on the end in the back row and a strategically placed flower was all that was needed to eliminate him. Now my other two kids have broken up with their long term partners too (and my son’s girlfriend had two kids) so my photos are pretty much obsolete a year later.

Oh my Kim, I totally get it! You should 100% do a page w/ that picture and flower on their faces or big NOT circles.
