Trick or Treat
Michelle McClung
|
 |
Halloween is such a fun holiday. When I was a kid, I loved dressing up, wearing makeup, and pretending to be something that I wasn’t. The trick or treating, the Halloween parties, and all of the scary movies and shows were all part of the family’s yearly festivities. It was also great fun giving out candy at my house and seeing all of the clever costumes that the neighborhood children were wearing. Now, being a mom, I am enjoying the fun and excitement once again through my children. Enjoy some of the adorable trick-or-treaters from our submissions! What are you going to be this year?

Design
notes:
For this layout I created an outer
frame with the patterned paper. I then cut
out several different sizes and widths of
circles using a circle cutter, and then laid
them onto this "frame" until I got the
desired effect that I wanted.

Design notes:
I enlarged/reduced and printed the photos in such a way that the background in the photos lines up. I made a pink "wand" out of bling. I also scattered some bling around the page like fairy dust.
I drew a line outside of the rub-on letters to make them stand out more against the cardstock back. I tore the corner of the photo to show the design on the background (and just for fun). I printed the journaling directly onto the patterned paper. |

Dinger Bell by Janneke Smit. Supplies:
Paper: Scenic Route, Cardstock: Basics, Bling Borders and Accents: Heidi Swapp, Rub-ons: KI Memories, Font: Tahoma, Pen: ZIG Millennium, Ink: Rubber Stampede.
Journaling:
It was love at first sight for Larissa when she saw the beautiful Tinker Bell costume on the cover of the Halloween catalogue. It was pretty expensive so I showed her some other costumes, but no, she wanted that one! When I said she could have it she ran away to tell her brother Darren, I am gonna be Dinger Bell for Trick or Treat!" Unfortunately the matching wand was sold out, but I bought her a pink garden fairy wand with flowers instead. Of course when the costume arrived she wanted to put it on right away and admire herself in the mirror. I gave her the wand and she waved it around. She stood still for a second and said very disappointedly "It doesn't work." Trying not to laugh I explained to her it was only a pretend play wand. "Oh, okay". She was happy again and took off to show everybody her "Dinger Bell" costume. 2006, almost 3 years old.

Notes: I took a picture of my daughter's
dress and brought it up in Photoshop. I then
cropped it for a closer view and printed the
picture out to use as background paper.

Raggedy Ann by Becky Heisler. Supplies:
Paper: Making Memories, Letters: Lil Davis chipboard and Doodlebug, Ribbon: Offray,
Other: Yarn.
Journaling:
An oldie but
goodie … I love the old Raggedy Ann dolls, I
remember them from my childhood. I think I
used to have a few, although Strawberry
Shortcake was my favorite. I was struggling
for weeks with what to do for Chloe’s
costume. I knew I wanted to make her
something more original than just another
“fairy princess” or Barbie, had this dress
hanging in her closet for almost a year and
never really gave it much thought. It was a
hand me down from a family member and it was
home made from her aunt. As I looked at it,
it just hit me. Yes that’s it!! Chloe has to
be a Raggedy Ann doll. She has the perfect
round chubby little cheeks with those big
bright eyes, my mom had the awesome idea to
take a red hat and stitch pieces of yarn to
it and made it look just like Raggedy Ann’s
hair. She looked adorable and everyone
fussed over her and she beamed the entire
day! Chloe 2005
