This is my 12th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH!

As I am in Australia I am 18 hours earlier than Leigh at the moment!! 

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

Here's an adorable HALLOWEEN postcard set circa 1914.

I am sharing a page from my whimsical junk journal. 

The pages were originally painted with blue acrylic with leaves stenciled on top with gold. I also drew round the edges in gold.

I then added images from Michelle Grants Reflective Prelude which I thought looked pretty spooky.

I then added stamped images in black archival from graphic 45.

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge.  I don't know is this is enough of a focal image but I will link this page there too.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

On my desk easels you can see a couple of recent journal pages:

this one in my whimsical journal using an image from Michelle Grant Designs.

This one using Conjurer of Dreams images - from the Halloween Haunt event on Facebook.

This included a digi image I put together and some paper dolls that I fussy cut from the given page.

At the front of the photo you can see a Conjurer of Dreams image ready to be put somewhere...

I recently won a prize from CoD so, although it is Spring here, I asked Kim to produce some Autumn leaves images. These are a couple of things I have made using them:

Although it is still rather early, today we bought another Halloween item:

And I hope you can see some progress in my impossible jigsaw...

Hopefully next week it will be finished!!

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW!

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

Illustrations by Frances Brundage never disappoint. And this one is charming. What a wonderful costume the little girl is wearing. Great postcard circa 1910.

I am sharing another part page in my junk journal. 

If you look on the Conjurer of Dreams Facebook group you will see they are having a Halloween Haunt with fun activities each day. The images I have used today come from here

 

My page starts with an image that I digitally put together, placed on a piece of paper from my stash.

I added a fabric snippet band as a belly band.

Using the same images and fussy cutting I made some paper dolls on lolly sticks.

I tucked these behind the belly band.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

For me, nothing screams "IT'S HALLOWEEN" more than fantastical, animated vegetable people!!! This wonderful postcard illustration is circa 1909.

I am sharing a half page in my junk journal - I just placed the raven ATCs above just to show the size of the normal page. (Conjurer of Dreams images).

This is the current page. To start I used a card I made last year placed on a page with some paper scraps as background. I added the tabs..

The top flap open to show some stamped images (Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Halloween) using black, orange and purple inks.

The second flap shows more stamped images using the same stamp set and inks. The bottom image is a pocket containing the ATC (Gecko Galz image).

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge. This involves using rubber stamps so I will link this page here too.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

As I am in Australia I am 18 hours earlier than Leigh at the moment!! 

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This was published by the postcard manufacturing company, Valentine & Sons, circa 1910.

Today I am sharing the items I have made for the Gecko Galz Design Team. Rather than making one post I am posting them twice.

I made a set of 13 ATCs and a set of cards using images from

 Witches Way and Haunted Witches - not sure this is still available.

I used the same images on two pages in my junk journal and sentiments from Happy Halloween Sentiments.

I will link this to Leigh's page:

Happy Hopping!!
