🎃
~~~~~~~

So let's celebrate Halloween!!

Again I have a couple of pages for my Halloween Junk Journal...


This journal is basically a collection of pages about 5 by 7 inches to be bound together at some stage. I have used all sorts of recycled cardboard for the pages - these were sides of a Corona 6 pack carrier. They will all be backed by a coordinating patterned paper - I have either orange or brown in mind. But I am now wondering whether to put them in a back to back book...

Yesterday I was paint pouring - decorating an old table...



Anyway I dipped my two pieces of card into the paint that collected in the cardboard tray...this made pretty spooky backgrounds. They look pretty black and glossy in the photos but there are some ghost-like areas of white...

I then stamped in white archival some real rubber stamps from Smeared Ink (no longer trading).
Finally I just added some Tim Holtz stickers.





I will add these to Leigh's Linky!



I am also very pleased to be participating in the Countdown to Halloween Blog Hop


Leigh's beautiful badge reminded me of two journal pages I have made recently and I am going to share them now...

This one was inspired by Niamh Baly


This one was inspired by Iris Fritschi-Cussens




Happy Hopping!

  1. Love all the things you showcased here. I recently gotta know Niamh and have been watching her videos. I'm dying to get her Collage Sheets but shipping is always expensive from Oz.
