31 Days of Halloween 2026 Day 15

     

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

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

That must be an auspicious number!!

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

This is my Day 15.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. I chose a tag with a cat on it as I had additional cats in the background paper (found in my stash) and on the tab.

 I added penwork as on the previous pages.

The main image was in my stash from Gecko Galz.

This page was also following the prompt in the Halloween Challenge - Bewitched Creatures.

These are the pages from today and yesterday.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

A devil popping out of a jack-o'-lantern, courtesy of illustrator H. B. Griggs (HBG) for postcards around 1908. This devil is so adorable it brings to mind Neil Sedaka's song lyrics, "Hey little devil, I'm gonna make an angel out of you."

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!

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

This is my Day 14.

Here is the next page in my Halloween junk journal. I chose a tag with a spider on. This was from Conjurer of Dreams.

Instead of a strip of washi I added a tab, plus penwork.

The background paper is from LeighSB Designs Halloween paper pack.

A comment from yesterday from Deadpan Flook mentioned that he was scared by my spider - this isn't the first time it has been mentioned!!

I thought today I would do spiders...

The sentiment was in my stash from Gecko Galz. I embossed many of my spider stamps in black on the paper, some directly, some cut out and put in place. I have quite a large collection from a variety of stamp companies but the tiniest is my favourite.

I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 

This cheerful 1920 postcard illustration features a Jack-o'-lantern-headed girl witch wearing a dress made of autumn leaves, with bright, vivid colors that truly pop.

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!

Happy Hopping!!
