I have wanted to make a Halloween mini album for the longest time, but I kept putting it off. However, when Sharon, the owner of my fabulous LSS, asked me to make something Halloween related using the fabulous new products by Little Yellow Bicycle, I knew this would be my chance to finally make a Halloween mini album.
The photos I took are not too great as I took them on a very overcast day. When I uploaded them to my computer and realized that they were not the greatest, I couldn't take new photos as the album was already at the store. However, you get the idea. I saved everything in Photoshop, so each year, I can add another page to the album.
This spider web paper is flocked; it looks really cool in real life.
I also made a Halloween card.
Now, I need to get started on Sean's school album.
Beautiful album and card, Melissa! Love it! What cute photos (and costumes)! :) Happy Fall to you! Hugs!

Love the Halloween mini album and can't wait to see the beginning of the school album! Hope you're enjoying the same beautiful fall weather we are here in the Midwest.

Oh, I love this idea (and your cute pictures). You can count me in as someone who has always *thought* of making a Halloween album (but has just never gotten around to it). You're always an inspiration Mel! :)

Cute album, cute costumes, cute boys :)
I'm thinking of scraplifiting Rebecca Coopers Halloween album from the Mini Album idea mag, but DD is only 2, so I may wait a few more years until I have more pics. Or maybe I'll dig up pics of DH and I from our Halloween years. Hmmm...
