Halloween Picture Ideas!
Use props to make a great photo - pumpkin, straw, gourds, or fall leaves.

Make sure to take photos of the loot!  Let your kids sort by color, size,
 
type, etc.  Take photos of them arranging the candy from low, close angles.  

Try taking photos early in the day, before the kids are tired.  
 
(even if that means putting on the costume twice).

Applying facepaint?  have someone capture you applying the designs
 
to those earnest cheeks!

ABOUT YESTERDAY’S MEMORIES
 

 

Hi my name is Valerie Black and I am addicted to scrapbooking.  It started with my love of picture taking and wanting a way to share these wonderful pictures with others.  About 10 years ago I was introduced to scrapbooking and I become obsessed with it. :-)About 4 years ago I was introduced to Close To My Heart products.  I never thought I would be a stamper until I used CTMH clear stamps.  I started with the alphabets.  I quickly learned the benefits of the stamps vs. stickers.  I could buy the set once and I could make it any color I wanted and decorated it however I needed to match my layouts.  I was hooked!  I had to have it all.  A friend told me I could get free products by becoming a consultant and earn extra money too! 
 
More than I ever thought possible has come true since becoming a Close To My Heart Consultant.  I would love to share with you our complete line of quality scrapbooking and stamping products. We truly have something for everyone, from our faster, simpler, and easier My Reflections® scrapbooking kits to our revolutionary My Acrylix® stamp sets. I would love to show you and your friends how to create beautiful artwork to honor the special relationships in your lives.
 
Please contact me to see the latest exclusive products from Close To My Heart, to schedule or attend a Home Gathering, join one of my clubs, or to become a part of my growing team.   I can't wait to hear from you!
