Halloween Mini Album {Costumes Through the Years}

I've shown you how I altered the cover of my mini, and how I laid out the pages.  Today I want to show you the pages that are done.

For the title page I used some more of the black lace paper.  This time I layered it on orange.  So much fun!  And I don't even mind that the letter stickers aren't perfectly straight.  Which is a big step for this slightly OCD girl!  :)

The first spread shows my oldest's first two Halloweens 2005 and 2006 (before his brother came along).  But from here on out I did one year per spread.

I pick my favorite costume pic of each child and add a tab with their name and the year.  Pooh and Tigger strutted their stuff in 2007.  Well pooh didn't strut cause he couldn't walk.  But he rode in that stroller like nobodies business!  :)

The shipping tags make perfect spots for journaling.  So that I can tell stories like how in 2008 my oldest decided he should be Parker Police "Ossifer" and his brother should be Keaton Kitty.

By 2009 both boys had gotten into TV and movies.  So Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear they became.

And last year, 2010, they both wanted to be able to fly.  Super Why and Buzz were the costumes of choice.

Here are the rest of the spreads in order.  2011

I just know this album will become a much loved holiday tradition!















My 5th grade year I dressed as a rock star (fishnets, black mini, gold shirt, and microphone) and the boys teased me that I looked like a hooker.  Many tears over that one!  I even remember yelling at one point, "I'm a ROCK STAR!  Don't you see the mic!"  :)  What's your most memorable Halloween costume?  Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear all about it!
