My silly daughter LOVES to be scary. Last year she was a werewolf for Halloween, this was her scariest costume yet.

I just had to put the werewolf photos on a layout, so I used my new Dream Street paper.

I struggled with this layout because of the red in her shirt.  Red isn’t usually a Halloween color but I let it go…this once.

A funny fact about Izabelle’s costume:  She loves to wear the werewolf costume but when she takes it off, she’s afraid of it. The costume can not be stored in her room, we store it in my husband’s office closet.

I really love working with the the Dream Street papers.  The Superstition collection has really fun matching chipboard and rub-on embellishments.

I purchased my Dream Street paper at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.

I’m hosting the Graphic 45 Blog Challenge this month.  It’s all about journaling.  This month I want to see some creative layout ideas where the story behind the photograph takes center stage.

For an example, I created the following layout of my son, Parker:

The journaling reads:

For those of you that scrapbook, don’t forget how important it is to journal on your pages.  As scrapbookers we put so much time into our layouts; it would be a shame not to know the story behind them.

The winner of this month’s challenge is chosen by the Graphic 45 Design Team and will win a package of Graphic 45 papers.

P.S. – I haven’t forgotten about my 300th Post Giveaway (this is post 298)!

My very sweet friend, Linda has been creating a scrapbook about her Mother-in-law, Elizabeth.  It has been so fun to watch Linda’s scrapbook come together.

After her Mother-in-law passed, Linda inherited some photos and memorabilia.  One of which was a little rocking chair.

Linda gave the little rocking chair to Karen at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.  Karen lovingly hung the rocking chair in a place of honor at PSB, right above her baby papers (perfect).

It’s sweet, right?

Last Saturday night Linda brought in a baby photo of her Mother-in-law.  In the photo you can see the little rocking chair behind baby Elizabeth.

Pretty neat!

I had forgotten to bring photos to the Saturday Crop but wanted to create a baby layout.  The photo of baby Elizabeth came in really handy.

I created the following layout for Linda and Karen (Paradise Scrapbook Boutique) using the new October Afternoon paper:

It’s been awhile since I’ve participated in Candid Carrie’s Friday Foto Fiesta!  Not that I haven’t wanted to…I most certianly have.  I just usually remember on Saturday when it’s too late.  My bad.

After you browse at my lovely photos be sure to check out some of the other participants on Candid Carrie’s Blog.

I had to share these fun photos of my new little niece, Addie.  She is only 10 weeks old and she’s all smiles.  You’ve got to love baby smiles.

Hope you’re smiling now!

I’m off to a weekend crop at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.  It’s National Scrapbook Day on Saturday.

What are your plans for the weekend?
