Adobe Photoshop has many useful tools, including the selection tool.  With this tool you can remove any area of a photo or graphic from it's original file, expand it, or enhance it in many ways.  You many want to take a photo of both of your children and separate them into two photos with each individual child.  Now you can use these two new photos on your scrapbooking layouts.
