"Halloween wouldn�t be Halloween without good ol� Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. For over half a century, the extremely round headed kid and his pet Beagle Snoopy, have become a staple of trick or treat themed festivities across the world, with their animated special It�s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown ..." Did you know this special enjoyed it's 50th Anniversary last year?! wow! This year it airs on October 19.
---- Here's How we Play ---- The most iconic scene in the movie is Lucy moving the football just before Charlie Brown can kick it. If you exercised less than 5 times in the last month, you missed the Treat Section, Scrap Tricks. If you exercised 6 or more times, good for you, Scrap Treats!
Should You Choose Trick --- Scrap Simple --- We might as well keep it simple. Not more than 1 DSP and 3 or less colors. Simple embellishments include Faux Stitching somewhere on your page
OR
Should You Choose Treat --- Scrap Fancy --- Feeling good from all the exercise, let's do it up a little. Add layers, 2 or more DSP and one cluster of embellishments!

I hope you've had fun playing along with our Scrappy Trick-or-Treat VSBN! Less calories and more pages done with this one than the real one! Trick-or-Treating though is always more FUN with Friends ... let's enjoy
---- Here's How we Play ---- If you've posted here in SCS more than 5 times in the last week (7 days) YOU Get to choose what challenge you want to do. If you've posted less than 5 times this week because life has been "tricky" ... better stay consistent, play the Trick Challenge.
Should You Choose Trick --- Scrap Tricks --- It's Tricks all over again! Choose one of the TRICK Challenges you didn't do and use that to scrap a page! If you scrapped all TRICKS ... well you have at least 6 pages done so by all means, choose a TREAT Challenge But first ... head to last month's Goal Gallery HERE and comment on 3 pages ...
OR
Should You Choose Treat --- Scrap Treat --- Thanks for posting! Treats are better shared with Friends so this Scrappy Challenge is better shared! You have 2 Treat Choices. The first Challenge Choice is to PM or message another scrappy gal and ask them what their favorite VSBN Challenge is/was, scrap that (it doesn't have to be from October, it can be ANY). OR Better yet, agree to scraplift the same page/inspiration! Let's see what you both come up with. If you choose a friend not on SCS, just post their page and yours in your gallery (or link to where they posted their page)

LOL...love your sense of humour and ideas for challenges. Where do you find this stuff LOL? There's surely something in here even for those of us who don't traditionally celebrate Halloween, although it is becoming more popular here. I'm also a big kid at heart
Thanks Lela...awesome stuff. Happy weekend jx

I'm so glad you liked it! Just trying to keep it fresh, that's sometimes the tough part. Your question about where this stuff comes from is a good one....sometimes I panic that I won't be able to think of something then "wham" I get an idea. Personally I never like challenges that are so tough, one person can play, kwim? The more the merrier, it should just be for fun and flexible to launch anyone.
This one and the Nov/Dec VSBN I'm super excited for just because of the variety. I like when a plan comes together.
Me too Sharon, and your monthly scraplift. Just not sure it will still be October for me. Happy day everyone

I'm afraid I failed this month to do a LO and feel annoyed with myself as such great challenges. I am still going to try and do these. Hope you all had a great Halloween.
Happy day.
