Halloween Scrapbook Pages
This is a 2-page, 12x 12, Halloween spread I designed for a class next week. Oh, talk about fun to make!!! I hope the girls like it!!! A ton of punches were used to make these pages, and I must thank memory_lane for the fabulousPunchDisplay Sheetsshe has loaded into her gallery at SCS. Several of the punched characters I used were taken from her sheets. If you haven’t seen them, you really MUST — just click here.
The triple frames at the top of each page are for photos. Wouldn’t close-ups ofprecious little dressed up children be adorable in there? I was totally inspired to make these triple frames by Sharon Harnist (StamperSharon). She did an adorable page using a similar idea, but making the frames into film strip using the Spiral Punch. That was my original intent for these pages, but as I worked on them, the film strip idea just didn’t seem to mesh with Halloween, so I’ll save that idea for another page!!! You can check out Sharon’s fabulous film strip page here.My frame is cut10 x 3.5 and then punched with a 2 1/8″ Marvy square punch.
The bottom border of Fall Flowers DP is 2″‘ high. Photos to go on the pages will be matted. The little ghosts are not glued down — they can float around and be on photo corners, or wherever, once photos are added.

Oh gee, now that I see this photo here, I guess you can’t really tell very well what I did. I always like to photo the 2 pages together because that is how they belong, but I can never getvery good photos. Sorry! Please check back on Sunday (later in the day) for closeups of all the little features.
Thanks so much for looking! And please remember, there is still time (1 more day) to sign up for Blog Candy!!!
Totally adorable Sharon! I love the black photo strips going across the top of the page for photos. The floating ghosts are just too cute!
What an absolutely adorable layout Sharon!! I love all the details; the black cat, the tombstones, the bats, the pumpkins, anyhoo, you get the idea! Love it:)
Oh my, this is a true masterpiece. You might actually get me to scrap.
Very, very cute. Love how you used all of your punches and the pumpkin design on the bottom of the pages. TFS

Would you like to come and do my pages?
These are just darling.
Wow! I really love this, makes me want to blow the dust off all the punches I have.
Great pages, Sharon, sorry I have to miss it, but have to work a game. That’ll be 2 I missed now. Hope you don’t mind if I steal some of the detail ideas.
Holy cow! What great work with the punches! Incredible! Totally fun pages! Your girls are going to have a great time! Thanks for all the fabulous detail photos, too.
I just found your blog this morning. Wonder where I was last week?! Today’s precise and clear instructions on creating the Halloween pumpkin scene made me feel like I had been at your class. Thank you.

I love the punch art on these pages! I’ve also done the spider legs using the square punch it turns out cute too. I’m going to have to try a version of these for my next scrapbook class…I just have to figure out when to have it.
