Tiny Pieces of Art - September

   At the beginning of the year I started a year long challenge courtesy of Linda Pearson on Facebook

I decided to use index cards as I had a little booklet of these in my stash. 

I like this format as I have been doing the Index Card a Day Challenge during June and July for some years now.

This is how far I had got at the beginning of the month:

This month's prompts are as follows:

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 3

  

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog.

 This is my 13th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH! 

That must be an auspicious number!!

I am joining in with the 2026 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

This is my Day 3

Today I have a bunch of ATCs to share:

This first set uses the freebie ATC sheet from 

Conjurer of Dreams October ATC Challenge 

Trick or Treaters.

I fussy cut all the elements and placed the backgrounds on scraps of orange and blue card. I then added all the pieces from the sheet.

The second set of three used the freebie ATC sheet from

Gecko Galz Monthly ATC Challenge

Monsters Under The Bed

Again I used the backgrounds on scraps of orange and blue card and then added the girls in bed images.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 2

 

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog.

 This is my 13th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH! 

That must be an auspicious number!!

I am joining in with the 2026 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

This is my Day 2

I thought I would look through my Halloween decs - I found this wreath which I decided needing revamping. The images come from Conjurer of Dreams

Conjurer of Dreams currently has an Autumn wreath challenge so I will link this there.

 I am also sharing a Halloween card as I have a swap of such cards to take part in...

I used a cream card base and layers of purple and orange card - then the image. I think it is a great image although I know some people find clowns scary.

This image was a freebie from Gecko Galz

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

12 Months of Christmas Link Up October 2026

  

    

This is my DT make for the October Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Anything Goes Christmas"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this: 

I started with a silver card blank, matted it book paper - a paper from Stampin' up. I added die cut shapes from the paper and to these I added 49&Market ephemera. I also used rub-ons from 49&Market between the shapes and more ephemera.

I added a ribbon to the tag shape.

Happy Crafting!

Outlawz Twisted Challenge - Colour Scheme - October

   

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes

Songs and Rhymes

Colour

Greetings

Sketch

This month it is Colour Scheme  where your make should be inspired by this colour scheme, chosen by Jane:

This is my card: it includes the flavour of the colour scheme, but also the colour second along the bottom row is called River Bend.

I used a kraft card blank matted with green then an image cut from a commercial card (Camden Signature) and distressed around the edge with scorched timber.

I then added the embellishmnets.

Happy Crafting!
