Yeah I have that too...I hadn't used that feature before and it looked like too much reading/work. I have a Creative Memories product that I used to create this "card". Memory Manager has a photo editor in it that is user-friendly and I was able to use the "eraser" to take out all the color that I did not want and basically leave intact what I wanted colored (yes, I found red duct tape). Then I imported it into Storybook Creator (another Creative Memories Digital product) and added the background, put the frame around it and added text/embellishments. Combine all the elements into one file, saved it all as a .jpg and uploaded to Walmart and ordered as prints. Sweet little program. Depending on what you're doing, it can be easier to understand than Adobe. Not as powerful, though.
I hope they will continue, also. The boys actually like how this one turned out, too. They did a good acting job with their expressions. Three "takes" and we were done. They were a bit skeptical when I told them what we were doing. They drew the line when I mentioned binding them together with Christmas lights. (I think they thought we were actually going to bind their hands also and leave them that way for a while...which we would have, of course)
Oh......if you try this with your own kids in the future....do as we did and please make sure you use "painter's tape" under the duct tape on their mouths. That way they will still have lips left. lol
