I came up with an idea for scrapping podcasts, movies, books, and TV series! I'm doing my best to use up my stash and I've had Stamp sheet protectors like these for many years!The size of the pockets are approximately 2x2. I found the best images for movies and books by searching for book covers and movie posters. Now skip this part if you have PhotoShop, because I don't. I used PhotoSheet. I chose grid 6, 6x4 photo size. Then I dropped and dragged photos into PhotoSheet (6 photos per 6x4 size). At the bottom, it says add space between images with a sliding bar. I slid it enough that I knew there would be enough space to cut out the images and leave a bit of a white border. If you like to be precise, don't use my method. There's an option of "output location will be saved here:". I chose to save to the Desktop and clicked start. Then I right clicked on the new photo, chose print, and chose the 4x6 option. I have windows. There will be a bit of white space in the 2x2 square. I plan on adding confetti, sequins, small stickers and die cuts to fill it up. I've been having fun decorating some of the 2x2 squares with Halloween stickers and die cuts. Kind of like a decorative journal cards spread randomly throughout. And I'm using up stash! THEN, if I want to do a page on one movie or book that stands out, I can just slip that out of a pocket and replace it with something else. BUT it's all there and documented.
ETA: I recommend the podcast Lore.  |

Here's a current page in progress. None of the photos have been glued down or arranged to how I want , it's just a general idea. I also threw in a small metal die I found worked perfectly, so I remember to use it.
ETA: I'm kind of doing a loose interpretation of Halloween. Which is why you see E.T. and Small Town Murder podcast.

Love this so much! Also, you have excellent taste in movies. Watcher in the Woods scared me so much when I was young. Didn’t stop us from renting it every weekend from the Video store, however! I was able to see it in our local theater a couple of years ago, so amazing. Can’t wait to watch it this October! I am totally borrowing your idea of the tiny movie posters, that will be a perfect way to document them |

I love it! I have some 2x2 pocket pages from OA's warehouse sale. I think I cried in my coffee a little when I read this...swoon.  I decided on some things (partially based on the fact that DD and DH bdays are in October, and DS is November) 1) I am using the Fall 7x7 CM album I was given as a gift a long time ago. 2) I am going to do a Fall Daily, so I want to do October and November, and I need 61 pages min. 3) The album holds 36 actual pages, so 36x2=72, so I have 11 "extra" pages to mess around with, for things like Thanksgiving, and birthdays. 4) I am going to number the days with my TH number stamps, so that will be a "constant" in the album. |

I was able to see it in our local theater a couple of years ago, so amazing. I'm eventually going to do a page about this one. My dad had seen it and it was showing on the Disney channel. He told me and my sister you're going to watch it and you are going to watch it right now. We KNEW he wanted to watch it with us so he could make us jump in the scariest parts, which he did and then he'd laugh his head off. I promise it wasn't traumatic. I was probably preteen and my sister was a teenager.  When I want to give my sister a hard time, I whisper NERAK.  |

I love it! I have some 2x2 pocket pages from OA's warehouse sale. I think they were like 10 for $1. It would be so easy to make some of them shaker pockets with the Fuse. I'm going to attempt to make a shaker pocket with ATG adhesive at the top. We'll see if it holds up. If not, it's just confetti and sequins. |

I've started slipping into the early Halloween spirit (although it's still full-on summer here). Currently rewatching the first season of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (oh, the dress colour-changing scene when she heads to the forest for her dark baptism *heart eyes*) and playing Spiritfarer (my emotions though). Still on the fence on which format I'm going to adopt for my October/autumn album...  |

Just wanted to share for our more October/Halloween loving Peas, this Halloween-centric event hosted by Scrapbook Expo. I already have too many things to add another to the list, but wanted to share. It looks like mostly card projects, but you do get a physical kit. Or I guess if you had similar supplies, you could just watch and create your own. ssbeshopathome.com/home-event-list/home-mega-make-take-september-26-2020/The projects are described in the a link under the Virtual Vendor Projects tab. |

I'm not much of a cardmaker, but I had to laugh at one of the items in the physical kit, "Collectible Mega Make & Take Button". $75.00 sound like a decent price for 10 kits and instructions.

I found this account on Instagram. A lady who lives in Salem Massachusetts and is super into Halloween.
She's posted 2 out of 4 lists to celebrate 100 days of Halloween. I thought these were good inspiration prompts for choosing to do whatever you want.
ETA: I love the idea of Summerween. I'm putting my decorations up early this year because I can and this entire year has been a horror show anyway.  |

Oh yes, the buttons is a big Scrapbook Expo thing. I've played along when I attended the events, but there's a whole trading subgroup, etc. |

Studio Calico's Spooky phrase stickers. Ugh, someone stop me from purchasing them. Am I really going to pay international shipping for just three sticker sheets?...  |

Now I have to shop at SC. Those are perfect. I use the hell out of these word sheets, even though most people hate them, I love them. These I might need two of! |

I ordered two sets a few minutes after posting them in this thread. They're perfection. Did you see how many of these can be used for Disney park projects? Parade, princess, good times, party time, "I'm not sharing", no escape (we've all been stuck in that neverending line for a ride, ha), make believe, magic, play, etc. Obviously, even better suited if you hop into the Wizarding World... |

Jade The Libra is hunting for Halloween décor again! I look forward to these videos every year. So jelly of everything you guys in the US get. There's nada here. Nothing, zilch. ETA: Skellinton Jade did a tombstone pizza pocket video if you're interested. |

I just ordered 2 sets too! I am hoping next year to get to DL since we had to cancel our trip this year. Thank you for sharing them, I seriously have not looked at their site for so long I didn’t even know these existed, they are by far the best thing they have put out in the past few years! Those videos are great, I have been haunting (ha, I crack myself up) the Target dollar spot to get my hands on some of their new stuff! It comes in so randomly it is hard to get. Fortunately it is all right up front, so easy to avoid people and get in and get out within 10 minutes! I can’t believe Halloween isn’t bigger in Europe. I know my mom was in Ireland in October many years ago and she called to tell me all about the Halloween stuff, she was so shocked that they celebrated there as no where else she had been did. She then had to listen to my lecture on the origins of Halloween! I think I am going to start taking pictures today and have a 2 month album, I have too much stuff I want to document! |

I can't believe I'm starting yet another MEGAAA thread (that Studio Calico sale reference is here to stay ) but here we are: welcome to the cosy nook by the fire for all things October Daily, autumn/fall album. The year is 2020 and everything's scary but let's take back control and make the creepy factor ours again! Let's get spooky & kooky... PSL, apple pies, horror movies, carving pumpkins, hearty soups and stews, physically distant + safe Halloween celebrations, seasonal décor, adapted family traditions, putting away all things summer, scary Snapchat filter selfies, etc. The change of season is but a month away. With the pandemic, many of us will be spending a lot of time at home which means bonus crafty hours! Come use up your Halloween and fall stash. Come make a pretty album or junk journal. Tell the small stories, the big stories, the non-stories. Keep your mind and hands busy as we wait this virus out. What are your plans? October Daily, autumn stories album, LOs? Will you be using your stash? Will you be buying new pretties? What are you adding to your October agenda this year? How are you adapting some of your favourite traditions to the pandemic?  I did an October Daily a few years ago and loved it—I need to finish mine from last year. |

I know my mom was in Ireland in October many years ago and she called to tell me all about the Halloween stuff, she was so shocked that they celebrated there as no where else she had been did. She then had to listen to my lecture on the origins of Halloween! Ha, I hope you gave her an earful! I think my love for Halloween stems from living in the UK for a while when I was a child. I remember being 12 (living elsewhere in Europe) and being told in English class we could pick *any* subject related to the UK + Ireland and my hand shot in the air like Hermione in Potions class to get All Hallows Eve. The spooky love never left me. I'm not from a Celtic or Celtic-adjacent part of France so Halloween is definitely not part of the local culture. From what I can tell, the real difference between the US and Europe is the extrapolation and hyper commercialisation of the celebration. Like St Paddy's and Christmas. It's just a very different approach to celebration. With some sort of "origin nostalgia" left over from the OG European settlers + far larger lands and living spaces (and a heavy penchant for capitalism - I say this objectively, not judging), these feasts become beasts and are transformed into something far more American. It's a form of appropriation (again, not judging). You won't find that in Europe, still very much a continent of (literally) small living and attached to the European roots/traditions (far less impressive and in your face than the American reworked version). Just two different approaches.  Still jealous of the Halloween décor you have in the US! I can appreciate a hybrid form, jussayin'... You'll notice this hybrid version in reversed manner when (ha, not if!) you visit Disneyland Paris. They had to sculpt it to fit that European mindset, smaller and more intricate, old style, a-Sunday-stroll-in-the-pretty-park-esque. I think I am going to start taking pictures today and have a 2 month album, I have too much stuff I want to document! STAHP. We're totally twinning between the SC stickers and kicking the album off today! I, too, plan on starting documenting the spooky season today. Fek eet, we had a major temperature drop over the weekend (34°C/93°F to 25°C/77°F, eep). I've got the duvet out, the socks on, a cold to nurse. Gimme soup and a horror movie, please! I even listened to some Bobby 'Boris' Pickett today.  |

I am probably going to put up my decorations inside this week because I can! I only decorate in my living room. It's been one sucktastic year. The way this year has been, shouldn't we be past Halloween at this point, so why not?!
Undecided on the outside decorations. It's usually first of October for everything. I hope I still have the tomato cages in our shed to make the ghosts.  Got to use them for something! I failed at gardening. 
Wanted to add I love how you call it the garden. I have images of a lush green, freshly manicured lawn with blooming perennials and annuals. You might be disappointed by my garden or as I call it the front yard; especially in October.  The ghosts will be placed in my rock garden that used to have potted flowers. |

I have two sets of sticker sheets like those for Halloween but they are black with gold lettering. I cannot think of where I purchased them from or the manufacturer. Nothing written on the back, but I love them!
Those videos are great, I have been haunting (ha, I crack myself up) the Target dollar spot to get my hands on some of their new stuff! I briefly went into my Dollar Tree yesterday (it's smaller) and they finally had boxes of Halloween stuff to stock. I may have been peeking at the pictures on the boxes. |

Aww, no shame in your front yard/garden game! I don't even have a courtyard so definitely no judgment from me. And I think rocks are the perfect background for a spooky décor anyway. We just call them gardens in Europe. It's just us being lazy buggers with terminology. Don't believe everyone here as a perfectly mantained lush green garden with secret gazebos and antique statues.  My dream home would have a basic Mediterranean garden filled with lavender, thyme, sage and rosemary. And olive trees! It's too dry here to bother with grass (not a single drop of rain from mid-June until just last weekend this summer). Maybe a eucalyptus tree... But definitely tomato cage ghosts! Priorities, refugeepea, priorities. |
