October Scrapbook Challenge

Oct 01, 2008 9 Replies

Could the theme be anything other than Halloween?! Using the colors of green, purple and/or orange create a 1 or 2 page LO using Halloween pictures you already have from past years. If you're caught up (hardee har har) create a 1 or 2 page LO in anticipation of a Halloween picture you will take this month. Halloween pictures can be pictures of anything from costumes, a party or a really cool Jack-O-Lantern you carved.



I'm adding one more component to this challenge. It stems from me having to move all my punches to a larger drawer. I seldom use them and having to puzzle them into a small drawer was frustrating. As I moved them to a larger drawer it reminded me of all the cool punches I have. So, I'm challenging everyone to dust off and use a punch on the October challenge LO also. Any shape punch you have just tell us what you used.



I think the main reason for this challenge is to get us all back into creating scrapbook LO's. If you find the challenge stifling rather than encouraging feel free to do whatever you want. I want to see us all sharing our LO's each month.



If you're a digital scrapper everything goes except for the punch. Can you create a punch like shape with your digital programs?



Really looking forward to scraping more due to the monthly scrapbook challenges. Thanks so much to Crystal for organizing the challenge.



Hugs, Lynne

Hmm..... I think Halloween is the only holiday that I am actually up to date on. My younger sister (13) isn't big into halloween, she never was. A few years ago she had a halloween party but she really isn't into the dressing up and going out. Hmmm......what can I do. I'll have to think on this one. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything. Hmm...... I may have an idea not sure though.

Great challenge Lynne! I will have to wait until the weekend to play but I am so excited! I am going to do a page for this halloween since I don't have any previous Halloween pics.

Crystal

Hey Chrissy how about putting a costume of some sort on your little Buddy?

Lynne

I would so love to dress up my dog Buddy in a halloween outfit but he would have no part of it. LOL! I think I may have an idea though.

Chrissy

I know when I sent the email I knew my dog would have no part in it either. BUT what we do is put something on her like a Christmas bow and make her stay for the split second it takes to snap the picture. Then everyone thinks she ran around the house wearing a bow. Little do they know it was only for a split second... sort of like my daughter. :| "stay Allison staaaaayyyy... SNAP.... Ok you can take the bow off*

Lynne

Don't forget to play with Lynne's challenge! I am working on my layout right now. =D

Crystal

Oh my goodness Lynne. We don't celebrate Halloween in SA, BUT - in my early twenties I went thru this Goth phase where I loved to wear black - lol - the silly things we do when we're young. Anyway - I always wondered how I could scrap those pics and this is the ideal opportunity. Will try to get them done next weekend along with the CCC's. Just had a bit of a hectic two weeks - long story - but it should quiet down a bit this week. :)

Can't wait to see your LO's
