Can't believe I've managed to keep up the calendar pages this long. I'm really not a diarist but I have enjoyed making the pages. So... here's October's
calendar challenge finished
Here's my Hallowe'en in close up. I forgot it was a 31 day month so did a little fold out for the 31st
I was really pleased with the grave stone. It's actually a cuttlebug folder pressed out with shrink plastic and embossed. Note to self: don't expect to emboss shrink plastic and expect the pattern to remain once you heat it!!!. So instead I embossed it again (black shrink plastic), stamped my skull in the middle in white and then swiped white ink round the edges of the stone. Then when I shrank it the outline of the embossing remained.
It's getting to that time of year when photography lighting becomes a pain and there are some lovely purple shades in this which I just couldn't manage to show but you get the drift!

I am so impressed that you've managed to keep this going. I've loved following your pages as they unfold, x
Wonderful pages! Love the cute costumed images! Fabulous colors and design!
Brilliant, Carol. Love the shrink - tried that myself and was so disappointed that the shape didn't hold, lol - good idea, though :-)
Love your pages and am seriously impressed that you've kept to it. I'd have to catch up three or four weeks at a time cos I'm the world's biggest procrastinator. Love how you've incorporated the fireworks into your Nov pages. Really MUST try this next year! Lovely work x
Fab pages !!
Two more wonderful pages Carol. I don't know how you manage to keep making them and then writing up each day with everything else you do. What a happy mistake forgetting 31st Oct - the little fold-out is great and I love the tombstone. November is already looking very good.
Blogger is playing silly b.....s so I'm clicking on Anonymous to see if I can leave my comment. It's from Heather.
Love your pages, Carol, especially the October ones. Great colours and images. The tombstone looks really effective.
Fab pages, love the images on October page especially the one carrying his head. November is lovely and vibrant perfect for bonfire night. Thank you for the comment on my blog you are the only one who spotted the firework effect.x
Love both your pages. The November one is really bright and cheerful. Dianne.
Fabulous October pages, looking forward to seeing Novembers.

Beautiful pages, Carol. It feels great when you follow something through doesn't it.Love the gravestone!
I did a 52 week challenge several years ago now with Emily Falconbridge & also a time project with a friend & I am so glad I saw them both through to the end.
Love your October pages, great use of the shrink plastic, I have that die and just love it, never thought to SP-ing though!!!
Know what you mean about the light, but Nov pages do look good.
Only one more month to go, you've done really well to keep up with it.
