It’s almost here. The night of witches, ghosts and goblins, or perhaps princesses, cowboys and wizards.  We will soon be answering our doors to the sounds of “trick or treat.”  As a scrapbooker, I want to be sure to capture the memories of my children in their costumes.  Have you ever looked back at the Halloween costumes from years passed?  It’s so fun to see what was popular at the time.  Of course, there are the standard characters, but remember all the Buzz Lightyears, Harry Potters, Barneys, and Strawberry Shortcakes?  Those are memories you don’t want to forget.

Once you’ve got your photos ready, scrapbooking Halloween layouts can be as simple or as complex as you like.  All you really need is some paper in orange, black and white.  I also like to use color combinations like black with lime green or gray and black.  Anything that reminds you of Halloween will work.  As for embellishments, there is no end to the Halloween stickers, die cuts, brads and ribbons available.

You can be creative and save money too by using what you have to make your Halloween layouts.  Again, stick to the Halloween colors, an orange flower, a black journaling block, a gray ribbon.  Don’t forget to include mementos like invitations to Halloween parties and your child’s Halloween art work from school.  How about some candy wrappers, especially your children’s favorite flavors?

Here’s wishing you a safe and happy Halloween!
