I found this cute scrapbook idea on the Creative Home Atrs website. Now if I could only find the time to get it done!
Capture A Monster—on a Scrapbook Page!
A child is rarely cuter than at Halloween, so why not make a tradition of recording the fun, as well as that great costume you probably made!
The first thing is to get the right photos. Take several pictures, with different views and expressions. Kids get right into character when they put on their costume so, depending on the outfit, ask them to roar, dance, fly, or whatever. Capture their personalities.
Then include a few words or, even better, a quote. (As we all know, kids say the darnedest things, right?) If you want, you can even add sound to your page so you can play back that oh-so-terrifying growl.
Finally, add a pocket or envelope for journaling. It can be as simple as a photo or square of paper glued down on three sides. You can even turn the whole page into a pocket by cutting 1/4" off the top edge of the page and gluing the sides and bottom to another sheet of the same size paper. Glue a tab to the top edge of your journaling page so it's easy to pull out.
Be sure you and your little monster remember this "let's pretend" holiday forever—and pass on the page idea to other monster lovers!
