12 Months of Christmas Link Up November 2026

    

This is my DT make for the October Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Go with the Flow"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple easel card using the paper from this: 

I started with a white card blank and a white card easel, matted with the papers.

 I added 49&Market ephemera. 

I added a ribbon to the tag shape.

Happy Crafting!

31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 31 - Halloween!!

              

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog.

 This is my 13th year in succession of participating in 31DOH! 

That must be an auspicious number!!

I am joining in with the 2026 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

This is my Day 31.   Happy Halloween!!

Here is the next and last page of my Halloween junk journal.  

This is today's page:

I made the house (one of two) after watching a workshop in a swap group I belong to: I used a paper from crafterschoice Spooky Background Paper Pack,  lace, embellishments and some printed images for the doors and windows.

The house opens to form a box: 

I  made journaling cards to go inside the houses - the houses may also have a couple of tags inside too.

The images I used on the page background and the cards are from Lost Coast Designs Cracked Critters - more of my favourite stamps. 

I will add these journaling cards to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge#214

Next I needed to add a tag in the back pocket - I have quite a few to choose from:

I decided to go with October 31...

These are today and yesterday's pages:

Here are my inside and outside decorations:

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft.  

AS we are getting lots of little trick or treaters knocking on the door at the moment, I thought I would go with this one...

This from a set of Whitney Publishing Co. postcards from 1920 featuring sweet illustrations of children ready for trick-or-treating, set against a jagged backdrop that adds a spooky touch.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
