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. 

For me, nothing screams "IT'S HALLOWEEN" more than fantastical, animated vegetable people!!! This wonderful postcard illustration is circa 1909.

I am sharing a half page in my junk journal - I just placed the raven ATCs above just to show the size of the normal page. (Conjurer of Dreams images).

This is the current page. To start I used a card I made last year placed on a page with some paper scraps as background. I added the tabs..

The top flap open to show some stamped images (Tim Holtz Snarky Cat Halloween) using black, orange and purple inks.

The second flap shows more stamped images using the same stamp set and inks. The bottom image is a pocket containing the ATC (Gecko Galz image).

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a 31 Days of Halloween Challenge. This involves using rubber stamps so I will link this page here too.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

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. 

This was published by the postcard manufacturing company, Valentine & Sons, circa 1910.

Today I am sharing the items I have made for the Gecko Galz Design Team. Rather than making one post I am posting them twice.

I made a set of 13 ATCs and a set of cards using images from

 Witches Way and Haunted Witches - not sure this is still available.

I used the same images on two pages in my junk journal and sentiments from Happy Halloween Sentiments.

I will link this to Leigh's page:

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

This delightful Halloween postcard illustrations was published by the Whitney Co. circa 1920.

Thought it was appropriate to have a pumpkin as my junk journal page today features pumpkins.

This is Leigh's Pumpkin and Roses

printed and coloured with markers before fussy cutting it.

This is the page as seen in my journal.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Black cats and mice highlight this comic Halloween postcard illustration, published by the Whitney Co. circa 1920.

Today I have added to yesterday's page in my junk journal. This is what I shared yesterday:

I decided it wasn't finished!

I mentioned that the sentiments are from Leigh's Compendium of Wicked Halloween Sayings

printed on a paper from Halloween DIGI Paper. I decided to use the same paper to make some ATCs using the Batleighs. I printed these ATC size and coloured them with markers before fussy cutting them.

I added penwork and some embellishments from my stash.

I used the three with two bats as pockets on my journal page.

I tucked the other three into these pockets.

This is the finished page.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
