October Passporter Scrapbook challange *Featured Layout Picked* About This Page:

[LilMarcieMouse]

How about a Fall page. Orange, Reds,Yellows, Browns,Leaves the whole fall thing. Yes Halloween stuff is good too. Pumkins anything to do with Fall and October. Sorry I am late, I forgot it was a new month.

OK! Wedding is over, brother's medicine is working, our dog Joey is safe and sound at home, and I am back to scrapping! And since Julie's wedding theme was Fall, I will have tons of pages to share. Well, if I can get them on here. BUT son Matt knows how to do this so I am going to tie him to this chair when he gets back from Louisville and torture him with a feather until he shows me what to do. Trust me, I have been reading and reading how to do this and you would think with a 150 IQ I could figure this out but it loses me after the third or fourth "now go to and click on and upload and download and you will see". It all starts to swim in front of my eyes. But I digress. Thanks for the notes of encouragement. I am ready to try my computer wings. Bigred

Fall and Halloween are my favorite times to scrap!!! I think half of my stickers, etc. are fall and halloween.

I hope I didn't make this too easy or not challanging enough. Did I do too many of the same tpye thing?

Marcie,

I think this will be a great challenge for this month. When I get done with all the laundry and catching up on everything else from being away for ten days, I will be all over this one.

I'm looking forward to using this challenge and finishing up my MNSSHP book from last year. I have beautiful pictures of Hallowishes that Marv shared with me that I haven't got around to scrapping yet.

Hey, I was going to tease you that you should finish up that book but then I realized I'm still working on that book so I better not tease!

Marcie, I think it'll be a great thing to scrap. For me the challenge is scrapping ANYTHING (where does the time go?). Since May, the only pages I've scrapped are for the monthly challenges, so I'm just tickled that you keep on posting the challenges! People are obviously busy being there aren't many layouts posted, so it'll be good to scrap something slightly less challenging, I know it will be for me, anyway!

I don't know that I'll have anything new to post because I already did my MNSSHP pages from last year and I have posted some of them for other things. Maybe I'll just post them again together on this thread and hope that I'll have a chance to do something new too! I'm trying to finish up a beach vacation book for my DBIL's family from our mini-trip this summer. I feel so far behind!!

Ya hoo, I get to be the first to post a layout. I did this really quick this afternoon. It's from last year. I had all my Halloween stuff out from working on MNSSHP 2006 trip, so thought I'd get my Halloween pics done too. (Now I just need to go do the rest of them. )

It's very dreary outside today, so picture isn't the best with showing the real colors. I took it with no flash to avoid glare. The photos look washed out, but they aren't really. Also, in real life the background is really pretty, yet eerie! It's muted green, cranberry, and shades of gray. The black square letters are epoxy, so it adds some dimension. The word chilling is made on my wishblade and double matted (black and gray). (I made a Halloween set to sell on ebay and made a mistake. This is my mistake. I'm obsessive about not throwing away mistakes as Mall of America scrappers know!) I thought it'd be a perfect title. It was DS2's first year to be something gross and scary. He'd wanted to be the grim reaper for quite a few years now, but I guess I wasn't ready for my baby to grow into scary costumes until then! (This story is included in my journaling, as is DS1's fascination with large creepy weapons, ha!)

I enjoyed making the page. It was kind of fun colors to use, something I never would have done, all inspired by a mistake! And, I'm glad you made this month's challenge that we could scrap Halloween, Marcie, or I never would be getting my pics done!

Great layout, Marv.

I love the background paper and the epoxy letters.

You just love to torture me by showing all the cool stuff your Wishblade can do, don't you? JK, I love the title!!!

[Shell_of_the_South]

I like it Michelle - keep saving those mistakes! (although I can't see any mistakes on it!)

Marcie - I'm going to look for some fall pictures to scrap - don't worry!

Actually the title IS the mistake. I was suppose to cut it in 3/4 inch height letters and cut it out an inch tall instead. I caught my error before sending it to her, so I got to use the mistake on my page. It was nice to have a pre-made title vs. having to stop and cut a title, so on the WB, I guess mistakes aren't all that bad!

[~*~Michelle~*~]

great job!

[Mouseketeer]

Michelle, your page looks great - I love that background paper.

I think you are having a lot of fun with your Wishblade!

[LilMarcieMouse]

I love your layout Michelle. The color is so prefect. That paper is awsome.

[Cam22]

Great layout, Michelle! I may actually get around to posting a layout this month as I've been gathering everything to make my Halloween album, a history of Stefanie through costumes. Now to get a page or two done, photographed and posted here.
