31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 1

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog.

 This is my 13th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH! 

That must be an auspicious number!!

I am joining in with the 2026 Crypt Keepers Countdown to Halloween

As I am in Australia I never know what time to post my Day 1, so this is sort of an introductory post...

In the past I have made Halloween decorations, junk journals, cards, ATCs - all can be seen if you scroll through here. This was one of my decorations from last year:

This year look forward to a lot of black and orange, pumpkins, mushrooms, witches and ghouls...in this post I am sharing a Halloween card as I have a swap of such cards to take part in...

I used a kraft card base and layers of orange card and scorched timber distress along the edges.

I used a die from Tonic studios and a freebie from Conjurer of Dreams

I added a little orange raffia to the tag.

I will add this card to the Conjurer of Dreams free image challenge

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

An eclectic postcard illustration circa 1908 - 1920, featuring a large blank space. I’ve added my own message.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
