31 Days of Halloween - LeighSBDesigns Halloween Hop 2025 Day 2

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog as I am joining in with

LeighSBDesigns 15th Annual 31 days of Halloween Blog Hop

and 2025 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

Find Leigh's main post here

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

As I am in Australia my day is a lot earlier than Leigh's!!

I usually share a postcard from Vintage Image Craft. This one from Oct 1st is an October Birthday Greeting. Tomorrow they will start on Halloween.

I actually started making Halloween and Autumn (it is Spring here) items in September and have already shared this frame (see Gecko Galz post)

and these cards - (see my Conjurer of Dreams post)

My main project this October will be a junk journal - this is the cover: Haunt is from Conjurer of Dreams, the pumpkin paper and washi is from my stash.

What I am going to share today though is a shaker card that I made for a swap. I designed this myself using an image from the September Conjurer of Dreams Progressive Challenge

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

12 Months of Christmas link up

This is my DT make for the August Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Sleigh"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a card using this paper:

And a paper from this:

I made a simple gate fold from a 4in strip from a 12 by 12.

To this I added the papers, a doily and sequins. I stamped the sleigh on the inside - a stamp I had in my stash.

Happy Crafting!
