I have decided this year that I will make a concertina junk journal and share a page a day.

To start, this shows you the front and idea of the journal:

It is made with black paper and the first few pages are matted with papers from DCWV Happy Haunts.

This was yesterday's page - today I have added more cats...

I started off with a messy thready page:

I then added Wicked (Tim Holtz) and a cat and an opening flap.

The hand is  Leigh's Wicked Witch Robed Hand - Once Upon a Nightmare

The sentiments are from Leigh's Halloween Sentiments

The cats are from Leigh's cat svgs. This is a similar set.

This is my extra make - a tag using a Gecko Galz image and placed in one of my folders which can be placed in a junk journal. This is the Tag Challenge.

This postcard is from Vintage Image Craft.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!

This is today's page:

 I used a background paper from the DCWV Happy Haunts paper pad. I then added the freebie hat image from  Conjuror of Dreams on a cream mat.

I then added Leigh's Tangled hat printed on the cream paper, coloured with various markers and cut out.

Finally I added the pumpkin plus hat button.

I have been looking through my Halloween boxes - and found various items I can upcycle.

In particular I made these  Artist Trading Tags using some Graphic 45 tags and images from Gecko Galz.

I have added these on to my front cover:
