I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page...Day 1
🎃
~~~~~~~

So let's celebrate Halloween!!

I have so many ideas running through my head and so many projects half thought of, half started...

But first of all I would like to share something that I blogged yesterday  for the 

I used LeighSB Designs Tangled Maple Leaf, printed in two sizes, coloured with Copics and cut out. Leigh has done a colouring video for this here.


Anyway one of my Halloween ideas was to make a junk journal, making pages out of lots of recycled card.


This picture shows a selection of my card pieces, some painted and the top one almost finished. I am not sure yet how I will bind these or what will be on the front cover. This first completed page started with a piece of kraft distressed around the edges with scattered twigs. To this I added a piece of black card embossed with tree trunks - one of my favourite embossing folders that I can't just put my hand on at the moment.


To this I added Tom Holtz' Branch Tree - diecut from a piece of card that I had added paint to at random. I added 'leaves' by hole punching some more of the card and using the circles. My idea was an autumnal tree but I decided to use random colours!


I then die cut the owl and the moon (again Tim Holtz dies) in some foiled card.


I will add this journal page to Leigh's Linky!


Happy Hopping!

    I do hope you will do a tutorial on how to bind the cardboard pieces for the junk journal! I have saved cereal and packing cardboard for ages but won't start a journal cause I don't know how to bind it! Your tree looks awesome with its many colored leaves and the owl and moon look fantastic with the foil papers!
