Exciting news! I have one spot to giveaway to a lucky reader for the Picture the Holidays Class with Tracey Clark at Big Picture Classes. This is a $36 value! You’ll get some great photos to record the Holidays and use in your Christmas albums or scrapbook pages. Here’s some more about the class:

Picture the Holidays with Tracey Clark

Another 31 Days of Festive Photography with Tracey Clark

About the Class

Spend this December taking inspired, artful photographs of the world around you, during the most wonderful time of the year. Picture the Holidays has been reframed and refreshed for 2013, with new prompts and new pictures to help you creatively and mindfully celebrate this season of joy!

This 31-day workshop, from photographer and author Tracey Clark, is the perfect remedy for the holiday hustle.

Every morning, you’ll receive a seasonal photo prompt that will not only inspire your inner photographer, but will also encourage you to take a few moments to yourself to get creatively centered before the day’s festivities begin. Inside the classroom, you’ll also find a class creed, holiday photography tip sheet, live blog, active student gallery, and supportive classroom message board.

Learn more and register here

The class starts December 1st, so this is a quick one! Leave a comment below telling me if you take part in Black Friday shopping and why (or why not!). I’ll draw a winner tomorrow November 30th, and get the lucky person all set up with the class.

Thanks Big Picture Classes!

    Yes, I participate in Black Friday sales…..from home:) When I had littles, before it was crazy, I did go out into the masses for the great deals. Now nope. And not on Thanksgiving!:) Hope your Thanksgiving was blessed!
    Thank you.

    The only black Friday I have taken part in over the past few years was to go to the fabric store. Not a crazy crowd and the shoppers are all calm.

    Waow! This class sounds fun and inspiring.
    I took a chance at shopping some scrapbooking stuff on black friday. As the shipping fee is not really free, I had a good bargain at the end thanks to the sale.

    Thanks for the chance to win! Since I live in Sweden there isn´t really a Black Friday, but I do buy some digital products during the sales!

    I typically do not do Black Friday…usually Saturday, but mostly by Internet! I just hate crowds and since we have never been after a door buster, I don’t see the point. However, last night we were lured into Kohls on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner with 2 $10 coupons….however did not spend on gifts, we let the kids pick out new pillows and snugglie soft blankets…made for a fun family adventure.

    I am afraid that I do NOT hit the physical stores on Black Friday! I do shop on-line! Thanks for the chance to win.

    I was not planning on it but…my 4 year old just asked if I could take her to the store to buy a t shirts that she could decorate. Matching shirts 1 for her and 1 for her Dad : ) I am not sure I can resist even on Black Friday.

    I don’t even leave the house on Black Friday. Honestly, it’s the parking that drives me crazy! But this class sounds awesome and would really help me with my first December Daily.

    I don’t usually go out on Black Friday although I might wander into one of the crafts stores later on today. thanks for the chance.

    I have a kid who is very active. Shopping in general is a task, but shopping on a crowded day is even harder. So, I do not do physical shopping on Black Fridays. Only online.
    Thank you

    Each year I head out to the fabric and art store starting at 6am before I am due at work at 9am! I always manage to replenish my supplies and pick up a few gifts at unbelievable prices! Thank you for a chance in the giveaway! Happy Holidays!

    I love Black Friday )) I do online shopping – caft goodies (of course!) and some stuff for my little daughter)
    Would be great to win, thank you for the chance!

    I normally don’t do shopping on Black Fridays because in Poland where I live we don’t have this tradition – there are no special offers on this day. That said, I went shopping today and bought myself a new dress 😉
    Thanks for this giveaway – I love Tracey’s classes!
    Have a great holiday season!

    No shopping but Christmas decorations go up! Happy holidays!

    I don’t need anything that badly to stand in line for hours. I do my shopping during the year and keep everything in a special box until Christmas time.

    No, I don’t shop on Black Friday, unless there is a very specific item (one year we bought our tv, but I sent my husband out for it, and that was all we got). Sometimes I’ll go later in the day, but I just don’t want to get up early and deal with crazy people that take stuff out of your cart!

  17. Elina says

    We don’t have Black Friday here in Finland, but I wouldn’t go shopping when everywhere is full of people.

  18. Lee says

    November 30, 2013 at 5:51 am

    I support small business shopping on Sat and do some cyber Monday,… no black Friday shopping for me! thanks!

  19. Em Kay says

    November 30, 2013 at 8:46 am

    I don’t participate in Black Friday shopping. I try to get most of my shopping done earlier taking advantage of sales all year long!

10 Halloween Scrapbook Layout Templates with Fun Shape-Based Designs

Halloween scrapbooking is honestly one of my favourite seasonal projects. There’s just something playful about mixing pumpkins, ghosts, stars, bats, spiderwebs, and all the spooky-but-cute shapes that come out this time of year. Even if your Halloween looks more like a quiet night in with chocolate and a movie (mine often does!), the photos we take around October always seem to have a little extra sparkle.

To help you turn those snapshots into magical, memory-filled pages, I’ve designed a brand-new set of 10 Halloween scrapbook layout templates, all based on bold shape elements. These are single-page sketches featuring fun, layered Halloween shapes — pumpkins, moons, stars, webs, ghosts, spooky circles, doodled accents, and chunky graphic outlines.

These layouts work perfectly with:
• trick-or-treat photos
• kids in costume
• pets in costume (we see you, reluctant cats and overexcited pups)
• haunted house visits
• pumpkin carving nights
• classroom dress-up days
• Halloween parties
• October everyday moments
• goth, witchy, or “year-round Halloween” scrapbookers (a real category!)

Each sketch includes space for one or two photos, depending on the design, and lots of room for embellishing — because Halloween invites just the right amount of chaos on a page.

Here’s a closer look at the shape-focused layouts included:

––––––––––––––––––––––
Layout 1 – Spiderweb Circle + Ghost Accent
A striking centre design with a Halloween glow.

Layout 2 – Pumpkin Stack + Layered Title Banner
Cute, cosy, and perfect for family or kid-friendly photos.

Layout 3 – Witch Hat & Stars Cluster Behind Photo
A magical page that adds instant whimsy.

Layout 4 – Crescent Moon Frame + Bat Swirls
Ideal for moody night shots or black-and-white Halloween photos.

Layout 5 – Haunted House Silhouette + Layered Arches
A fun backdrop for spooky events or costume parades.

Layout 6 – Ghost Arch + Falling Stars
Works beautifully with soft pastels or classic Halloween colours.

Layout 7 – Pumpkin Patch Scene + Journaling Tag
A great “story heavy” layout for documenting your October traditions.

Layout 8 – Starburst Frame + Spooky Swirls
Energetic and modern, perfect for bold coloured papers.

Layout 9 – Candy Corn Cluster + Tilted Photo
Playful, graphic, and great for kids’ photos.

Layout 10 – Full Circle Web + Drippy Banner Title
A dramatic, high-impact layout that makes one photo pop instantly.

––––––––––––––––––––––
How to Use These Halloween Shape Layout Templates

  • Use black cardstock behind bright colours for instant contrast
    • Try glossy accents, glitter glue, enamel dots, or metallic pens for sparkle
    • Ink edges with orange, purple, or lime green for that Halloween pop
    • Add real thread for spiderwebs or “witchy” texture
    • Layer vellum ghosts or moons for translucent effects
    • Use leftover costume fabric scraps as embellishments (yes, really!)

Halloween pages are such a joyful mix of cute and spooky — and these shape-based sketches are designed to help you lean into both. Whether your scrapbook vibe is whimsical, gothic, modern, or kid-friendly, these layouts give you the bones (pun intended!) to create pages that feel full of personality.

If you create with these Halloween sketches, tag CraftGossip on Facebook or Instagram so I can peek at your spooky masterpieces.
