Halloween Mini Book 2011

I finished this book at the scrapbooking retreat up in Nisswa a couple weeks ago and this post is going to contain pictures of the pages. I was pretty excited to get the book done in a day.

Here is the full ablum Halloween 2011

The cover.

inside page: I called it Halloween Weekend because the whole weekend was basically spent doing Halloween-type-things.

behind the inside cover. a picture of one of the pumpkins I carved this year.

Page 1 and 2. I started with our Halloween Pumpkin Carving party.

The journaling. I used a piece of lined paper that I used in last year's album that I just love because it's got orange, green and black lines.

Just some pictures of the pumpkins we used from Mom and Dad's Pasture. This year I figured why buy when we could use our own. One thing I'll have to remember though is to bring them inside for a night bccause they were ice cold and hard to cut and clean. LOL Live and Learn.

Guy decided to us an electric saw to cut off the tops. LOL

This is one of my favorite pages because Jack is carving his "Jack-O-Lantern". I liked the play on words.

The next section is costumes. Halloween was actually on a Monday so we went out on the town Saturday night after pumpkin carving. Here are some of the costumes from the night.

That's Kimmie in the marshmallow man costume...I added some marshmallow poop at the bottom because I kept teasing her that she should carry around mini marshmallow's and throw them behind her like stay puft poop. LOL

 

The next section is trick or treating. I start it off with some costumes of family and friends right before trick or treating and then I show the candy I gave out and the special bags I made for family and friends.

 

I loved making this journaling page. I tried to tell a story with it. The bats flying above, the house and the black fence along the bottom with the cat walking on top of the fence. (Reminds me of an old Halloween Disney cartoon with Donald Duck and Huey, Dewy and Louie.

Goober aka Tristan in his football costume. I gave him the trick or treat smell my feet line because he'd be the most likely kid to actually say it to somebody. LOL

Loved Korby's costume. It was the cutest. :)

Gracie in her Tangled costume. I love this picture because it looks like she is twirling.

Jack in his Woody costume. I believe Michelle got this on Etsy. Pretty cool isn't it?

Auntie Sheila and her Cruella de Ville costume with matching dog, naturally. :)

The bags of candy and gifts I made up for my family and friends.

Each bag I made had a specialized outside label with her kids name. This one is a picture of Jacob's.

Here's the candy that I handed out at Michelle's house. I try to get a good variety and let the kids who come up to the door grab whichever piece they like instead of just putting pieces in their bags. I figure why give away candy that they won't eat. Might as well let them grab it themselves.
