Scrap Booking
Unlike a plain photo album, a scrapbook tells a visual story and contains the
very best photographs you've taken of your Halloween festivities. The
scrap book album and the pictures it contains is
then embellished with other items such as Halloween memorabilia,
appropriate headlines,
written narratives, poetry, quotations, stories, or other
relative
content. Next, trinkets, confetti, glitter, stickers,
movie ticket stubs for a scary movie you may have gone to see,
etc. are glued or taped to the pages creating a montage. You can
make your own or buy all sorts of Halloween scrap booking products
available at arts and craft stores during the Halloween
season.
Check out our section
on Scrap Booking Your Halloween Photos at
Halloween
Online. It will show you some interesting ideas for making your
won Halloween scrap book. You'll find all the things you need to
make your own Halloween scrap book at most arts and crafts stores
and mass retailers in the craft section. Once you get started you
may want to start scrap booking all your family photos!
TIP: If you
can, always make a copy of your original photo to use in your scrap
book. That way you'll preserve the original for a later time. You
can scan it into your computer and print on high quality photo paper
or take it to a photo developer and have them make a copy. You can
also use the photo machine that most developers have for public use
to make copies yourself. It might be a bit more costly to reproduce
every photo that you are going to use but it might save you
heartache in the long run.
Web Pages
Some personal websites are virtual scrapbooks. If you have your own web site or blog, you can create your own online
photo album to display your Halloween pictures.
If you use a traditional camera, you'll need to scan your pictures using a scanner connected to
your computer. If you use digital, you can up-load the pictures
directly to your computer and using a graphics program, add titles,
names, funny quotes, etc. It's a nice way to let friends and family
across the country see what you did for Halloween!
The
selection of backgrounds and clipart for Halloween on the net is
almost as limitless as the things you'll find for scrap booking. If
you have a program like Photoshop to use you can also create a
multitude of special effects on your graphics, make titles for
pages, even make your own backgrounds for your pages! |
