Find Leigh's main post here

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
Whimsical Halloween postcard illustration circa 1910.


 
First I have my skeletons Mark 2



I then have another journal page to share using a Conjurer of Dreams image from the progressive challenge.



The page is matted with black then a page coloured with brushos. I then added the image also on black. I decoupaged the gravestone and pumpkins. Finally I added the stamped spiders and penwork. I will add this to the linky

I also have a tag to share which is for the October Conjurer of Dreams tag challenge
This has a freebie image.


And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!!

I am sharing something a little different today. I often trawl the charity shops is search of treasures.
I found this frame some while ago. I used a Conjurer of Dreams image in the frame and then Vibrant Fall trees and some Halloween tags on the outside.

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
I love the black, Jack-o'-lantern luminaries on this illustration on this postcard circa 1910. Really spooky!!!


So yesterday I had a procedure plus anaesthetic so I have been totally washed out and my Day 16 was not linked until late. I am beginning to feel better...

I am sharing another page from my junk journal. Yesterday I mentioned my 2018 31DOH comprised many ATCs and this page does too.



Some of my pages have become so heavy my book has needed some altering and reinforcing to help the pages stay in place! This half page is particularly heavy. As I said yesterday I have a variety of page sizes to add interest. I have used a variety of scraps from my desk to make the start page with an ATC to the left. This uses a cat from Conjurer of Dreams Cool Cats

 
The right hand side has a belt fastening over a little booklet.



This uses one of Leigh's papers



On the front is a n ATC using stamped embossed images using stamps from Visible Image.
Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge using rubber stamps so I will post this ATC there.


In the booklet I placed a number of ATCs again using images from the Cool Cats and a decoupaged raven.





And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!!

Just a very simple card using a white card blank followed by a mat pink.
I then addeda layer of ombre using a Vick Boutin stencil and distress oxides in colours matching the challenge.
I then added the black die cuts - Tonic sentiment and Spellbinder blooms.


Hope you will join the challenge
