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 26.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. 

The background paper is from crafterschoice Spooky Background Paper Pack.

The image is stamped and embossed in black - it is Witch 2 from Lost Coast Designs - This is another of my favourite stamps.

I added washi and penwork as in previous pages.

I made a matching tag.

I will add this page to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Challenge#214

This is a picture of today's page.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft.  

This is from a set of postcards illustrating pumpkin-headed children circa 1910 with brilliant colors and stamped gilt details, Halloween postcards at their finest.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

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 23.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. 

The background paper is from Conjurer of Dreams Halloween Newsprint Digital Download
trimmed to fit and matching yesterday's page.

On top of this I added the cat tag, shared earlier. (Conjurer of Dreams image)

 I added a tab and penwork as on previous pages. 

I glued the tag so it made a pocket to contain the long narrow tags - these also used the newsprint, tabs and some stickers I got on a postal envelope.

The other tag was from the set shared earlier.

These are the pages from today and yesterday.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft - today I chose one with a pumpkin person and a black cat...

 Around 1912, illustrator Samuel L. Schmucker created whimsical Halloween postcards featuring imaginative creatures, charming children’s costumes, and soft pastel colors that make them truly distinctive.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
