Halloween is over and you’ve got dozens – maybe hundreds! – of pictures. You want to share them with friends and family, but you know they aren’t going to want to look through all those pictures. How do you choose which ones to share? Read on for some tips for making your Halloween scrapbook or slideshow the best it can be.
As a general rule of thumb, remember that diversity is key. This goes without saying for any scrapbooking projecte, but in particular for Halloween; we know you had great Halloween costumes this year, but do you also have great pictures of the family putting up decorations? Maybe you took a family trip to the pumpkin patch or visited a corn maze. These are the kinds of pictures that can help make a good Halloween scrapbook a GREAT one.

Another great hook that gets people every time is pictures of cute kids… It never hurts to milk the cuteness factor. If it comes down to another picture of your Halloween decor OR a picture of a child with pumpkin pie all over his or her face, well, you know what to do.

Last but not least, don’t forget to show the process. If you’re proud of your finished product, show off your hard work by showcasing all the behind-the-scenes stuff – the sewing, the carving, the baking, or whatever you did to make your Halloween special.
