I will be sharing my first day's Halloween make on Leigh's page....
~~~~~~~~
So....can you believe it is already October? Where has this year gone?
I have just turned over September on my mixed media calendar, ready for the next page...
I decided the October page would be my Day 1 of 31DOH - as usual I am going to try to post something every day.
Last October I spent much of the month in Australia so I was really organised - finishing my Halloween make on the flight over!! I then only had to blog while I was away.
This year, October has crept up on me and I am not so ready - but I will still have some spot prizes and the chance to win some of my makes -
keep watching (and commenting each day) to find out more!
My first SPOT PRIZE however - email the answer to susanrenshaw0404@gmail.com before midnight October 5th -
What did I make as my main 31DOH project last year?
~~~~~~~
I have been making my mixed media calendar for some years now, sometimes recycling the previous year's flip card, sometimes making a new one.
Last year my October looked like this:
In 2016 it looked like this:
This was the flip page:
This year I decided to use some marbled backgrounds, trimming the first just smaller than the orange base. I embossed the shattered image in black embossing powder (Visible Image How Fragile) and die cut October from it (Tim Holtz die).
I embossed the same image on an ATC sized piece of another marbled background and mounted this on orange too. As usual you will see lots of ATCs in my 31DOH!

During the day I have come across three more sites doing 31DOH so I will link this first make to them...
Dream in Darkness - because this is the BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR
Lost Coast Portal Challenge #62 - I have used a clear stamp
and
Stampendous - just for fun...
