and 2025 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

Find Leigh's main post here

This is my 12th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH!

As I am in Australia I am 18 hours earlier than Leigh at the moment!! 

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

Great Halloween postcard circa 1912.

I am sharing something a little different today. I often trawl the charity shops is search of treasures.

I found this frame some while ago. I used a Conjurer of Dreams image in the frame and then Vibrant Fall trees and some Halloween tags on the outside.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

I love the black, Jack-o'-lantern luminaries on this illustration on this postcard circa 1910. Really spooky!!!

So yesterday I had a procedure plus anaesthetic so I have been totally washed out and my Day 16 was not linked until late. I am beginning to feel better...

I am sharing another page from my junk journal. Yesterday I mentioned my 2018 31DOH comprised many ATCs and this page does too.

Some of my pages have become so heavy my book has needed some altering and reinforcing to help the pages stay in place! This half page is particularly heavy. As I said yesterday I have a variety of page sizes to add interest. I have used a variety of scraps from my desk to make the start page with an ATC to the left. This uses a cat from Conjurer of Dreams Cool Cats

 

The right hand side has a belt fastening over a little booklet.

This uses one of Leigh's papers

On the front is a n ATC using stamped embossed images using stamps from Visible Image.

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge using rubber stamps so I will post this ATC there.

In the booklet I placed a number of ATCs again using images from the Cool Cats and a decoupaged raven.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

Color Dare #674

 This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 

Just a very simple card using a white card blank followed by a mat pink.

I then addeda layer of ombre using a Vick Boutin stencil and distress oxides in colours matching the challenge.

I then added the black die cuts - Tonic sentiment and Spellbinder blooms.

Hope you will join the challenge

Happy Crafting!

As I am in Australia I am 18 hours earlier than Leigh at the moment!! 

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

What a perfect Halloween illustration - with a cauldron of bats, a scared black cat, a Jack-o'-lantern house and a boy dressed in a witch's hat and cape casting a spell. Postcard circa 1917. MARVELOUS!!!!

I am sharing another page from my junk journal. 

This is a 2/3 page in my junk journal - I have a variety of shapes and sizes to add interest!

The original page was a pale green with a blue edging showing.

To this I added a batty background from Conjurer of Dreams

The sentiment is from Gecko Galz and the autumnal witchy image is this week's Conjurer of Dreams progressive Challenge on Facebook.

This background made me think of something I made in 31DOH in 2018 - the items I used

were Happy Horrors and Halloween Crowd from Oddball Stamps by Lizzy Love - unfortunately no longer available and I have lost the images when my computer crashed - I must have a look in my old hard drives... That year I did lots of ATCs and this was the pocket letter I created:

These are the 9 ATCs before I put them in the wallet - easier to photograph!

I then placed the ATCs in the wallet...

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

Here's an adorable HALLOWEEN postcard set circa 1914.

I am sharing a page from my whimsical junk journal. 

The pages were originally painted with blue acrylic with leaves stenciled on top with gold. I also drew round the edges in gold.

I then added images from Michelle Grants Reflective Prelude which I thought looked pretty spooky.

I then added stamped images in black archival from graphic 45.

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge.  I don't know is this is enough of a focal image but I will link this page there too.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
