31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 25

         

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 24.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. 

I added washi and penwork as in previous pages.

The main image is an old red rubber stamp from Lost Coast Designs Dia de los Muertes Amor stamped and embossed in black. This is one of my favourite stamps - I have used it many times!! These ATCs were from 2023 and 2021:

I added a sticker from The Sticker Book of Curiosities.

I made a matching tag.

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

I have again been prompted by the Halloween Challenge - with Scary Skeletons

This is a picture of today and yesterday's pages.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This superb 1911 postcard by A. Heinmuller beautifully captures a Halloween greeting.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

I have occasionally been prompted by the Halloween Challenge - this time it is Scary Skeletons

Although my booklet is getting quite fat I decided to add dangles - a spider and web to the page

and a skeleton to the tag.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This stunning Halloween postcard illustration from the 1920s was created by the Gibson Art Co. in Cincinnati, featuring a simple yet striking designs.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

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!!

Black cats are among Halloween’s most iconic symbols, and Ellen H. Clapsaddle’s postcard illustrations from around 1910 are truly some of the finest..
