31 Days of Halloween - Day 17

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







Find Leigh's main post here

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 is today's page:



I started with pages from DCWV Happy Haunts and a strip of skull ribbon.
I then added a belly band.


The witches I added are from Conjuror of Dreams The belly band opens like this:


The silhouette stamps are from Gecko Galz. This is the other side:


I places some Spooky tickets from Gecko Galz in the pockets.

 

I then tried to decide what to place under the belly band - and started with this tag...


But I decided that a couple of ATCs would be better.


The bat is one of Leigh's old images.


The second ATC uses a gnome from Twistoon - Stan in a Pumpkin.


This is my extra make - a pair of tags using Conjuror of Dreams Steampunk DOD



Here is today's postcard  from Vintage Image Craft.



And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!




Happy Hopping!

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 is today's page:


I started with a page from DCWV Happy Haunts covered with a purple net ribbon.


I then added bewitch (Tim Holtz) and the sentiment from Leigh's Halloween Sentiments
The witch is Leigh's Witchipoo - not sure if it is on the website.
I coloured this with markers.

This is my extra make - a set of ATCs  using a variety of Gecko Galz backgrounds and images plus somewith stamps. Some are similar to the ones I made earlier in the month.


The following  two are stamped with Lavinia stamps and with Tim Holtz  stickers.


I will add these to the Lost Coast Challenge #190





This postcard is from Vintage Image Craft.




And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!



WOYWW #802

     

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #802 ...

Here is my desk:


You can see the last few pages of the Halloween concertina junk journal I am making. If you would like to see more of this please scroll down!

I did rather like this tag I made using a Gecko Galz freebie


And I always like the vintage postcards I find in Vintage Image Craft



Apart from this I don't have a lot to share as I came down with a very bad cold - and now Kevin has it. Makes you feel very lethargic (but no to Covid). I'm afraid I didn't get around to visiting and commenting - hopefully I will do better this week

We did go and try and see the Australis Borealis but apparently we should have gone the day before!!



Happy WOYWW and 

Happy Crafting!

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!
