A tip for those with old self stick photo albums [View all]

My husband bought me a photo scanner and I'm in the process of scanning them all. What a chore.

Those ridiculous self stick photo albums from years ago are a pain in the ass. But I read a tip and it works great. Dental floss. If you can find a loose corner, sliding dental floss underneath the photo can help you remove them with ease. Occassional there are a few that put up a struggle, but I go slowly and patiently and I haven't ripped or destroyed any photos by doing it this way.
