Creepy Kid lol...

Morning everyone :D 

It's coming up to one of  my favourite times of year

Samhain/Halloween mwahahaha....

so there was no doubt what my theme would be

for 

CRAFTING FROM THE HEART

Challenge 06

Every year my granddaughters costumes are 

getting more outrageous, and last years

was especially freaky lol

I mean, who even thinks of dressing their little

2 year old Princess as Beetlejuice???

But she totally hammed it up hahahaha...

That's my  girl :D

So when I saw the "All Hallows Eve" papers

from Crafter's Companion

and the "Shabby Basic-Halloween Dolls" dies

from Sam Poole at Creative Expressions

I knew exactly what I was going to make for this

challenge :D mwahahahaha....

I would like to share this project with

 the following challenges:

Got Junk? Then Journal...

Junk Journaling is a thing, and can be a massive undertaking,

but sometimes we just need a little project to fulfill our crafting "NEED"

For my CRAFTING FROM THE HEART DT project this month

I chose to play with a single sheet of double-sided scrapbook paper

from Graphics45 called "Ephemera Queen"

and created this "mini" journal

First I took the 12x12 sheet of playing cards and 

cut it into 3 horizontal strips

leaving tabs on the ends to connect them with,

before folding in a concertina fashion.

Next I "closed up" and glued the folds together to 

make "pages", adding an outer strip of paper to 

form a re-enforcing spine.

Now I had a mini book waiting for the addition

of scraps and more.

I chose some free papers from 

Free Junk Journal Printables

and added randomly... 

Some pages needed more than others.

After this I added some lovely lacey rub-ons from

Creative Expressions "Sam Poole Collection"

The beauty of rub-ons and junk journaling is that there is no

worry about imperfections 

I hope my post might take away some of the fear often

felt when attempting a journaling project,

and I would love to see your more unusual crafty projects

 over at
