Scrapbooking Halloween pages can always be fun and scary of course. You can also use different stuff to do these pages with. You can go buy spray that you spray stuff with to get all the acid out of paper and spray their wrappers from their candy and do a couple of pages with just the candy wrappers on them. That would be cute.

You could also use that spider webbing that they sell and use that for your background on a page. I love Halloween stamps and Halloween paper because it is so much more different than the normal everyday scrapbooking stuff.

I also like the idea of taking pictures of the kids with their candy. You can also take the candy and lay it out. Lay it out and make it look like a cat or a spider and take pictures of that and use that on your Halloween page. You can also cut out the picture of the costume that your children wore off the package that it came in and use that on a page too. Of course, you would have to use the spray that takes out all the acid and makes it safe to use for a scrapbook but it would be something neat to put in your scrapbook.

You could also use your paper and cut out your own little Halloween scene and put it on your page and then cut around the pictures of your children in their Halloween outfits and include them in your own little Halloween scene. Some of my favorite things are to take pictures of a bale of hay, a black cat, bats and spiders and then cut them all out and put them on your pages. Realistic pictures can be great.

You can also cut out your own skeletons and put one of those on a page. You could color each bone a different color and have a colorful skeleton or use white for all of it. I love to use glitter on Halloween pages also. I usually take my stamps and use my glue pad instead of stamp pad and do a cat with black glitter and a purple spider. It really makes the pages pop put when you use glitter on pages.

We also do a couple of pumpkins for Halloween and carve them and make them look really neat. We take pictures of them and put those in the scrapbook. Then the kids can look back and see what kind of pumpkins they had. You can set aside a scrapbook just for all the Halloween pages and do just a scrapbook through the years of each year that they dressed up. Instead of putting them in the same scrapbook. Then they can look at themselves year after year and see how they changed and how they have grown. They can also see all the different outfits that they got to wear. Just a thought there on something I wanted to share.
