31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 22

  

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 22.

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.

On top of this I added the Stack o' carved pumpkins from Leigh SB

The tag was made from this, shared earlier. (Gecko Galz image)

 I added a tab and penwork as on previous pages. 

Yesterday I found this 3D printed pumpkin in a market - I couldn't resist it!

and also I bought this spooky pumpkin from the supermarket...

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft - today I chose one with pumpkins...

 

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..

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

 This is my post for WOYWW#907 

Here is my desk today:

As usual the working area has become minimal - how does this always happen? This next picture shows me working on a tiny corner of my table when we still lived in the UK - maybe 7 years ago? I think it's time for a big tidy up!!

Anyway on my work table you might be able to see a Visible Image Sunflower stamp which I have been using a lot recently, plus some Sunflower papers. The background has not changed much!!

I have been continuing with my 31 days of Halloween project. These were the last three double pages of this project:

This obviously takes up much of my crafting time but I did make some journaling cards with scraps from my desk:

Then today our daughter had a day off 'in lieu' so we met up, had lunch at a garden centre - Sophie had a voucher to spend so this meant much deliberation before she chose something!

We then called at the beach near her house and I loved all the wildflowers...

Finally back at Sophie's house she and I tried our hand at a bit of quilling - I think we need a bit more practice!

Sending hugs to all connected to WOYWW.

The graphic design on this 1916 Halloween postcard is stunning, perfectly capturing that spooky vibe.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

This is my Day 20.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. 

The next prompt I noticed in the Halloween Challenge was Ancient folklore. This made me think of books...

 I added a tab and penwork as on previous pages. 

The collaged image is from my stash but I cannot find its origin.

I used a bookmark for the tag in this pocket.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

The illustration in this delightful 1911 Halloween postcard bursts with energy as the little boy in the white clown costume enjoys all the excitement of the holiday.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

The images are from Conjurer of Dreams Goofy Ghosts both on the page and the tag.

I will add this page to the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge which CoD is sponsoring this month.

These are the pages from today and yesterday.

I have another small make to share - an index card using another image from Conjurer of Dreams. This time from Bat Backgrounds altered with texture paste and cotton thread.

 

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This marvelous 1912 postcard, adorned with highly stylized Halloween-themed illustrations, is a true treasure. Notice the hairy chins of the spell-casting witches. WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
