For my [tag]digital scrapbooking[/tag] friends, I want to bring to your attention again one of the great digital scrapbooking sites I have found, [tag]ScrapGirls.com[/tag]. I know earlier I told you about some programs that they sell called Scrapbooking Software Secrets Revealed! You can either buys these on a CD or just download them straight from the site. They have these programs for many of the digital imaging programs you may be using like Paint Shop Pro and PhotoShop Elements. I have not tried them, but they come highly recommended.

I also enjoy their site. It is vibrant and fun. They have wonderful insight and great stories to tell. They have beautiful layouts that their designers share with you.

They have a boutique where you can purchase more tutorials and kits. Or you can join two different monthly clubs that provide you with digital scrapbooking kits. One is called the Scrap Girls Club. The other is called Scrap Simple Club. I have provided you links to the info for both of these clubs. Their digital kits are definitely top rate. I love all of their items.

They have a message board, a gallery where members have posted their personal layouts, chat room, and so much more.

The last thing I would like to bring to your attention is their daily newsletter they send out. It is full of great information, but it also comes with freebies. So everyday you can receive a new digital scrapbooking element for free.

And right now, if you go to their site, they have a great freebie they are offering. It is an entire kit called Scrap Girls Refresh Collection Biggie. I have provided you with a link directly to the page that the freebie kit is on. It is beautiful. It is full of bright, vibrant colors and great embellishments for summer fun. All you have to do when you get to the page is scroll down and click on each of the download buttons. All you have to do after that is wait for the downloads to complete and you have a whole new set to create with.

If you have not noticed, this is definitely one of my most favorite sites. I love all that they put into for us. I hope you will take the time to check it out. www.scrapgirls.com

Freebie Friday – Vintage Halloween Candy Wrappers (Printable Ephemera)

If you grew up in the 70s, 80s or even 90s, you probably remember when Halloween candy looked different. The wrappers were bold. Slightly spooky. A little dramatic. Not overly glossy or cartoonish — just good old-fashioned Halloween charm.

That’s exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in this week’s Freebie Friday.

These Vintage Halloween Candy Wrappers printables are inspired by retro chocolate bar packaging, old-school sweet shop labels, and the kind of treats you’d imagine finding in a creaky corner store on October 31st. They’re colorful, slightly distressed, and full of nostalgic Halloween magic.

And yes… they look absolutely adorable in junk journals.

What’s Included in This Free Printable Set

This Halloween printable collection includes a mix of:

  • Vintage-style chocolate bar wrappers
     • Mini candy bar wrappers
     • Round candy stickers
     • Torn-edge candy labels
     • Crinkled wrapper designs
     • Classic Halloween color palettes (orange, black, purple, moss green, muted cream)
     • Full color, print-ready artwork
     • White background for ink-friendly home printing

The designs feature ghosts, pumpkins, witches, bats, black cats, and playful retro typography like “Trick or Treat,” “Spooky Chocolate,” “Boo Bites,” and “Witch’s Brew Caramels.”

They’re designed to feel collected — like a little stash of vintage Halloween candy ephemera tucked inside an old scrapbook.

Why Vintage Candy Wrappers Work So Well in Junk Journals

Candy wrappers are one of those unexpected pieces that add personality instantly. They’re playful, nostalgic, and slightly whimsical without feeling childish.

They add:

  • Seasonal storytelling
     • Pops of Halloween color
     • Fun focal points
     • Vintage market-style charm
     • Easy layering elements

If you’re building a Halloween junk journal, October daily, fall scrapbook, or even handmade treat packaging, these are such a fun detail.

Creative Ways to Use These Halloween Candy Wrapper Printables

This is where it gets fun.

Wrap Real Chocolate Bars

Print on lightweight paper, wrap around small chocolate bars, and secure with double-sided tape. It instantly turns a simple treat into something special.

Junk Journal Ephemera

Tuck the torn-edge versions into pockets. Layer the round stickers over tags. Use the crinkled designs as decorative accents.

Halloween Party Favors

Wrap mini chocolates for a vintage-style Halloween party. They look charming in little kraft paper bags.

Scrapbook Pages

Use the wrappers as journaling spots. Write a Halloween memory on the back before attaching to your page.

Handmade Gift Boxes

Glue a wrapper onto the top of a small box for themed packaging that feels intentional and creative.

Printing Tips for Best Results

To keep the colors vibrant but not overly saturated:

  • Print at 100% scale
     • Use high-quality print settings
     • Choose matte paper for a true vintage feel
     • Allow ink to fully dry before cutting

If you want a more distressed look, lightly sand the edges or ink around them with a soft brown ink.

Why I Love Vintage Halloween Aesthetic

There’s something about retro Halloween that feels less commercial and more magical. The ghosts aren’t scary — they’re charming. The pumpkins have personality. The witches are mischievous instead of frightening.

It feels like childhood memories mixed with craft room creativity. And honestly, that’s my favorite combination.

Build Your Vintage Halloween Collection

Pair these candy wrappers with:

  • Halloween tags
     • Vintage pumpkin labels
     • Black and orange journaling cards
     • Retro Halloween tickets
     • Faux apothecary labels

Layer them together to create a full Vintage Halloween Junk Journal series that feels cohesive and delightfully nostalgic.
