Themes, layouts and inspirations
I have another photo book app to share today! The Mosaic app is a photo book creating app for Apple devices running iOS 5 or later. The hardcover Mosaic books are sized 7″x7″, have linen covers and one flat price of $20 plus S&H. Books are made and shipped to you within 4 days.
And great news! One lucky reader will get to make a Mosaic book for free! Leave me a comment below by Friday April 5th, letting me know if you’ve ever made a photo book before. I’ll announce a winner next Monday.

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.

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.
I’ve never done a photo book, but this sounds wonderful opportunity!
fascinated by the use of technology and scrapbooking
I’ve never made a photo book before, but I’ve had the plans for one for years.
I have never, ever made a photo book but always say I’m going to do it. I love the window technique on the cover peeking at all those beautiful photos.
I have never seen this book before, but it looks really nice and great quality too!
I have never made one but was given a beautiful one as a gift. Would love to try my own
I have never made a photo book. I think they look great but daunting to make! Maybe the Mosaic app can prove me wrong! Thank you for the chance!
My sister has made many photo books and they make awesome souvenirs. I’m actually on a trip right now taking pictures for a montage, this would be perfect!!!
I made a photo book ten years ago for hubby’s grandmother…filled with black and white photos. This app and book look so chic
I have never made one but would love too! Thanks, [email protected]
I have made several books, but am always slightly disappointed when I receive them – I would love to try a new company, especially one offering linen covers at such a low price point. Thank you for the chance to win one!!
I have not made a photo book. I keep looking at all these apps that are popping up and trying to decide which one I would like. Would love the opportunity to try this.
I have made a couple of photo books before but never using this company. Going to go check out the app now 🙂
This looks like the coolest app ever!
I have never made a photo book. Would be fun to learn all about it.
