I have to admit, Halloween is *not* my favorite
holiday: not to do, not to scrap, not to even
think about. I do admit, though, that I love the
whole costume thing. And you know what? I have
had an absolute blast this month getting ready
for Halloween: not only planning at home,
decorating, planning my own kids’ costumes,
getting ready for our own Halloween camping
weekend, but also being inspired by all of the
amazing submissions and ideas for Halloween.
There are some serious Halloween-crazed
scrappers out there. Are you one of them? Bring
it on! I also love how Halloween, itself, is
inspiring to people in so many ways.
Let’s start with the obvious Halloween stuff –
the frightful! Into the darkness we go: dark in
color scheme, a little dark and spooky, but
maybe not so dark in content. Stacey starts us
off with an incredibly cute moment captured in
the blink of an eye. Whose child hasn’t at one
time or another, ripped the costume they’ve been
talking about for weeks right off? Did you get
that with the camera? Scrap it, too? Look at
Libby’s cutie – all dressed up from head to toe
and shown to us in muted greens and orange and
black. Linda impresses with a great, clear shot
of two, obviously having fun, placed perfectly
on a black palette with just the right amount of
color to remind us it’s Halloween.

Design note: I
used corrugated cardstock to match the theme
of the layout, which is about my son's
aversion to certain textures. I wanted the
layout to have motion so I staggered the
letters, outlined them, and used a large
circle in the background.

Design note:
I created this layout on a 12 x 12 sheet of
corrugated cardboard. After I adhered the
paper that I ripped a corner back off and
distressed. The pumpkins were cut out of
patterned paper and one of them was lifted
off the page with double-sided foam tape.
The chipboard letters were painted with
acrylic paint, and then sanded and
distressed with ink.
