Blog Hop! October 23, 2010

 

Welcome to Lovebug Scrapbooking’s “INSPIRE US!” blog hop!! Our blog hops NORMALLY take place on the last Saturday of every month. This month we decided to go a week earlier, so you could get some Halloween inspiration before the holiday Thanks so much for joining us!

If you just happened by this blog and didn’t realize a blog hop was taking place, please go back to Lovebug Scrapbooking and start the Hop. You won’t want to miss all the ispiration from our members……. or the prizes

Our theme for October is HALLOWEEN!

I’ll be the first to admit that scrapping the ‘annual events’ (birthdays, easter, Christmas etc. ) are always the most difficult for me. When the same thing happens year after year, I find it hard to keep it fresh. My solution for Halloween is to maybe scrap a layout if I have something specific that I want to remember, but otherwise I have a 6×6 album for each of my boys where I plan to do a quick and simple mini layout showing each years costume. And that’s it! No pressure to come up with something exciting to say about carving pumpkins or trick-or-treating year after year, while still preserving the memory of Halloween for them.

Here are a few examples of layouts that I have done about Halloween (one that has yet to find a picture). Enjoy!

This blog hop will run from today, October 23rd until October 25th.
We will be drawing for winners on October 26th.
