31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 11

 

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 11.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal.

I added a strip of washi and penwork as on previous pages.

The images were stamped and embossed in black. The stamp is from Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Collection and painted with watercolours, then cut out.

The background paper is from crafterschoice Spooky Background Paper Pack.

My idea was following the fifth prompt in the Halloween Challenge - Pumpkin kingdom.

The sentiment is from Leigh SB's Once Upon A Nightmare Senti Set

I am trying to match tags in the pockets to the theme of the page.

This is an image of the last two days:

I will add these pages to the following challenges: To see the beginning of the project see Day 4

Halloween Crafts All Year Round

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

Owls and black cats make the perfect spooky duo, captured in delightful illustrations on Halloween postcards published by the Whitney Co. in Worcester, MA around 1920.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

I added a strip of washi and penwork.

The images were stamped and embossed in black. The stamps are from Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Collection and Joy Clair's books and tea bag collection. Not sure what the name of this is!

My idea was following the fourth prompt in the Halloween Challenge - Spooky Bookshelf.

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

I have another item to share today too. I have been taking part in a yearlong Tiny Pieces of Art challenge. This month the theme is Trick or Treat and the second week is Where's my Mummy? My make is on an index card.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This witch skips the ordinary broomstick in favor of a fantastic mode of transportation for her Halloween adventures. A stunning Halloween postcard from 1914, published by John Winsch Co. and printed in Germany, capturing the charm perfectly.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

On Day 2 of 31DOH I  shared a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This festive postcard from 1912 shines in vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and black.

I decided to use this postcard on todays card.

I used various layers of yellow and orange with the postcard and gold embellishments.

Happy Crafting!

This is my Day 9.

The image is the freebie from the Gecko Galz Monthly Steampunk Challenge

I added a tag in the pocket.

These are the two pages from yesterday and today.

I have another item to share today too. I have been taking part in a yearlong Tiny Pieces of Art challenge. This month the theme is Trick or Treat and the first week is Potions and Spells. My make is on an index card.

The main image is an old red rubber stamp - not sure where or when I got it - but I stamped and embossed it is black.

I then painted it with sparkly watercolours. I have tried to photograph it so you can see this sparkle but not sure that I have captured it.

The background paper is from crafterschoice Spooky Background Paper pack trimmed and distressed around the edges with black soot. The sentiment and eye in jar is from a Conjurer of Dreams tag. I added glossy accents to the eyes.

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

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

Ellen H. Clapsaddle's postcard illustrations from around 1910 capture the joy of Halloween perfectly, with adorable children who always seem to be having a great time.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

This is my Day 8.

This is the next page in my Halloween junk journal.

The black and white image is a napkin glued to card and cut to size.

I added a strip of washi and penwork.

Finally I added an image from Conjurer of Dreams Blood Moon Raven Art Digital Download

I placed a tag in the pocket.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This is a great example of how postcard companies mixed and matched elements of Halloween illustrations—like a witch in flames and a moonlit backdrop with red goblins—to come up with fresh designs. This postcard, dating from around 1912 to 1914, was published by the John Winsch Co. and printed in Germany.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
