Are you ready to scrapbook your photos from Halloween? Whether your little ones joined Witchapalooza or navigated the maze at Goblin Gardens' Pumpkin Patch, you probably have some wonderful memories to scrap.

Here are some Halloween Digital Scrapbooking ideas and resources to make the most of your Halloween photos:

For teen and tween vampires, check out this Twilight-themed free quick page, or make a spooky spider page overlay with this tutorial.

One of the best things about digital scrapbooking is that you can recolor everything in your graphics software program. Remember to work on a copy of your original file for non-destructive editing. And if you use Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, try using a color adjustment layer for a uniform tint on all of your papers and embellishments. Or to adjust a single layer, position your cursor between the adjustment layer and the layer just below it, hold your alt key (option key on a Mac), and click.

Scan items from your kids' trick-or-treat bags to use in your scrapbook backgrounds. Candy wrappers, spider rings and bracelets, even Halloween fabric, all make colorful scrapbook page backgrounds. Layer items for some interesting effects.

To make a free grungy scrapbook paper for Halloween, check out this Photoshop tutorial. Scan interestingly-textured items into your computer to combine with your favorite digital scrapbook background papers, or find free textures at sites like sxc.hu for your shabby Halloween scrapbook pages.
