Halloween Scrapbooking Ideas: 3 Spooky Mini Challenges

Halloween Scrapbooking Ideas: 3 Spooky Mini Challenges

Halloween is one of the most playful, creative seasons for crafting. Between the pumpkins, costumes and cosy autumn nights, it’s the perfect excuse to pull out your supplies and create something a little magical. If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve put together three fun scrapbooking mini challenges to spark your creativity this October.

🎃 Challenge 1: Pumpkin Patch Pages

Nothing says Halloween quite like a pumpkin patch. For this theme, focus on rich oranges, deep greens and rustic browns. Think gingham patterns, leaf die-cuts or stencilled pumpkin motifs.

  • Photos/images: Pumpkin picking, carving, pumpkin piles, scray pumpkins.
  • Journaling Prompt: What’s your favourite pumpkin tradition?
  • Tip: Layer paper scraps and torn edges for a cosy, rustic effect.

👻 Challenge 2: Ghostly Memories

Go monochrome with a black, white and grey colour scheme to create a spooky, haunted vibe. You can soften the look with vellum overlays or add a playful touch with cartoon-style ghosts.

  • Photos/images: Trick-or-treating, haunted houses, ghosts, skeletons, dark aesthetics.
  • Journaling Prompt: Add a funny or spooky Halloween memory or photo from childhood.
  • Tip: Use white gel pens on black cardstock to make any writing look like chalkboard scrawl.

🤡 Challenge 3: Creepy Clown Chaos

For those who love the scarier side of Halloween, why not go full carnival horror? Play with bold reds, dark purples and sharp black-and-white stripes for a chilling circus vibe. Add torn paper edges, dripping paint effects or harlequin diamond patterns to ramp up the creep factor.

  • Photos/images: Circus-themed creatures, creepy clowns, dark colours, carnival rides.
  • Journaling Prompt: What gives you the creeps on Halloween night?
  • Tip: Try layering red ink splatters or stitching details to mimic the unsettling feel of a haunted big top.

These challenges are meant to be fun, light-hearted prompts that you can use to fill a page in your scrapbook, a spread in your journal or even a few handmade cards. Pick one theme or try all three—there’s no wrong way to create.
