Mini Halloween Journal

I made a mini Halloween journal in October, something just for me. It is 3"X4" with 36 pages, front and back. Here is the cover.

I decorated all the pages with a combination of diecuts, stamping, ribbon, washi tape and various scraps of paper. It was fun to create. I can't show you all the pages but here are a few...

I didn't plan this, but I found a small metal tin that the mini journal fits into perfectly. I glued a bat diecut onto the top with 3-in-1 glue. I love pulling it out and flipping through it. It makes me smile.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 31

The last day. Happy Halloween to you too. The children are already out trick or treating in my neighbourhood. The background for today's card is a gel print with stencilling and stamping on top. There's an orange button with a twine bow and some small trick or treaters too.

The ATC that I made for Day 31 features a creepy haunted house. The sky is very eery with a lone bat flying in the distance. It has been fun swapping these 31 cards again this year, and I hope to do it again next year with someone different. Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 30

How quickly the month has passed, it's almost over. The Day 30 ATC from my partner is great! Frankenstein looks adorable and cute, dosen't he? He's not scary looking at all. The background is stamped and stencilled with a washi tape banner.

The card that I created for today has another gel print background. Some of the markings were made with the bottom of a plastic bread tray. I looked for all kinds of items to create designs on the gel plate, mostly things that were going into the recycling bin.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 29

Not every witch lives in Salem. I'll bet there are some living in your town, maybe even on your street. The background on this ATC was created with watercolours and Brusho Crystals. Never heard of Brusho Crystals before. I will have to look them up. It's a gorgeous background!

In the shadow of the trees lurked the frightening creature featured on the card that I made for Day 29. I would not want to run into him in a dark alley. Or even in a well lit alley if I'm being honest.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 28

If you can't fly with the big girls, STAY OFF THE BROOM! That's an excellent piece of advise for all those potential witches out there. The patterned paper background is finished off with some diecuts and little gems.

The ATC that I made for today features a crooked gravestone with a crow perched on top. The little ghost is circling the site creating a really spooky atmosphere. The purple background is a gel print with a used dryer sheet on top for texture.
