Festival of the Dead

Each month, ScrapStreet travels to a new street, taking inspiration from that particular location. We learn a bit about our stop and try to infuse that knowledge and attitude in our creations. The monthly challenges encourage us to shake up our scrapping, trying new techniques, themes, and altered items as well as cards and color combinations. Travel along with us as we spend October enjoying The Festival of the Dead.

Known for the witch trials of centuries past, Salem takes their Halloween holidays seriously. They celebrate everything from Halloween to El Dia de los Muertos, an Latin American holiday focused on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. This month long celebration includes three distinct balls for Zombies, Witches, and Vampires. Workshops are offered for witchcraft and ghost hunting while expos offering a variety of paranormal creations line the streets. Colorful costumes and face paint can be seen most days. Join us as we scrap with a bit of a spooky flavor.
