I love Halloween and I'm so excited that our normally, hot October actually feels like Fall, perfect time to decorate!!! Some day I'm going to Halloween-i-fy my whole studio just so I can have Halloween year round! I'll let you know when that happens.
This is a flip through of an accordion style junk journal with a Halloween theme for my Graphics Fairy design team project.
The story behind the journal unfolded as I was making it and apparently it belongs to an Eastern European gypsy witch, named Borka, who has a life long obsession with cataloging and collecting various butterflies and bugs. She is also a wiz with a needle and thread and keeps the art of embroidery alive, stitching ancient symbols and spells onto cloaks, alter cloths and coven attire.
The accordion book is from Daiso and I used it as a base to layer lots of Graphics Fairy premium membership images and digital downloads. I had to stop adding ephemera because it got to be toooooo chunky and I couldn't close it properly.
Next time I will cut off the binding and make it bigger.
I also added lots of vintage papers, coffee dyed paper, antique and new lace etc.
If you become a member of the Graphics Fairy Premium membership site, you'll have access to gobs of amazing images, downloads, tutorials, done for you digital envelopes, pockets, journal pages and more!

Thanks for coming by and sitting a spell!
What a fabulous and absolutely darling journal. Wow! I am left wishing we had a Daiso store somewhere around here in Ohio! Your idea for using paperclips on a page instead of along the edges is brilliant. I don't think I have seen that idea before either. Loved the popsicle stick idea, too. They're very cute.
Thank you Donna I appreciate your kind words. Daiso has a web site but I didn't see the accordion folder. www.daisojapan.com/
Another wonderful journal and wow......love the popsicle stick bookmarks!!
Thanks Chris! You just reminded me that I need to add the links to the gal who originally made them!

YES! Do you decorate your house and dress up? I Do!!
I do decorate. JackO lanterns on my porch plus a wooden witch & ghost. Several wreaths on my doors, inside & out. Halloween decor on my mantle, coffee table, dining table & couple small tables around my living room & kitchen. Witches, potion books etc everywhere, including my mailbox & a crash witch on tree in front of house. I don’t dress up anymore because no trick or treaters out in my rural area.🎃👻💀🧙♂️🧛♂️🧟♂️

Thank you!
Would be great to learn more about how you made the Halloween junk accordion file & who is daiso? never heard of them. Wonderful tutorial!
Thank you Robin I will do a walk through sometime soon. Daiso is a Japanese store in S.California that is the equilvalent of a $1 store only most everything is $1.50 or more.
I want to go clean out the store on those folders!
ha, ha!! me too!
Hi! It's 2022 now, and I've just found this wonderful video. I was Googling Halloween Junk Journals, and this video was among the ideas. I love Halloween, too, and really enjoyed watching this journal flip through! Robin, you are so imaginative, and I love the nifty Daiso accordion book that you used to make your Halloween Journal with! I don't think that kind of journal (Daiso) is available to North America anymore because of Covid problems, etc. But I'm a crafty person, and could make an accordion style book out of black cardstock, and some washi tape. Thanks for sharing your creation with us all! ~Janet in Canada
I am back to watch my favorite TH-cam video of all time----- forever! I Love this little witch so much! Did you end up keeping her? If not, I hope the person who has her treasures her! I told myself not to watch this ==== again===== until October... ( I have rewatched her several times!)... Borka has become a household tradition. It seems like forever ago but only one year... Thank you for creating such magic...
Thank you Gayla, I'm so sorry I just saw your comment! I am so happy that Halloween is coming soon! Yes this adorable journal sold but I am planning on making more Halloween journals.
Be still my heart. This is amazing. I love Halloween more than any other holiday even more than my birthday and this journal is fabulous. Can’t wait to make one of my own.
Your talent is amazing! This journal is incredible!
Thank you so much Ann!
Robin, thanks for sharing so much inspiration with us! I’m not into Halloween, but many of the creative ideas are universal to JJ making. Great DT project. Have a spooktacular rest of the week!
Thanks Michelle. I know Halloween isn’t for everyone so thank you for your kind comments😊
I love your style, so detailed and beautiful. You are such a good teacher. Your explanations are easy to follow. Anyone would be honored to have your beautiful handmade Bohemian journal.
What a work of art! Just the best. Where can you the the black journal, did you say dye sew
Laure Janus thank you. The store is Daiso Japan. I was able to find some and will list them for sale in my store.
I’m drooling!! Love, love this journal. I’m headed to Graphics Fairy to sign up. Thanks for the inspiration. I would love to know what stamp that is at the end of the big spider with the big eyes. I’d love to have one of those!! Just wonderful.
Thank you so much I appreciate that. The large rubber stamp was from stamping up years ago I doubt they have it anymore💀🧙♀️🧛♀️🎃
@@robindudleyhowes thanks for your quick reply. Now I’m loving the moon in the clouds stamp too. Any idea who made that one? I’m good at finding stuff. I found the above stamp on Etsy. 😉😉
Hi Robin. I know you made this several years ago but I just came across your video and it is so beautiful! I would love to recreate it. I didn’t see where you said you got the keep calm tag on the front? I cant wait to make this one. XO
Robin, would you be able to send a 13 digit barcode for the accordion? I know that’s asking so much of you, but I’d like to order some. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and gifts with us all. This journal is absolutely the BOMB! I wish I could afford to purchase from you. Blessings, Mary
Would love a tutorial on this type of journal- only I’ll have to make the actual body of it! I checked Daiso and did not find this accordion folder. Oh well. Love your work!
Jayne Wood I will have a tutorial tomorrow and some Daiso accordion books for sale too😊
Oh my goodness it was fabulous I love Halloween kid did a great job and I need to know where I can buy the black sold out I've not seen one anywhere thank you
Thank you Judy, the accordion book is from Daiso Japan.
A tutorial would be great!
You did it again! This is fabulous. Did you say DYSO? Would you mind sharing a link. Not familiar with this. Thanks Robin.
Thank you. The store is Daiso Japan. They’re located in So Cal
Would love a tutorial on this type of journal. This is a wonderful piece, beautifully conceived and executed. Could you spell the brand name of the type of accordion book you used for this project, please? Thank you for sharing with us.
Hi Retha thanks for watching and your kind comments. In southern California there is a store called Daiso and that's where I got the accordion book. They have a web site but I couldn't find the accordion book on it. here is the web site: www.daisojapan.com/default.aspx
You all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Bobby Skyler instablaster :)
@Ronnie Aarav i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ronnie Aarav it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
❤❤❤
Where did you find the stamp with a cartoon spider on a web and “HAPPY HALLOWEEN”? It is fantastic! Just like your journal! You did a wonderful job. Did you say the bat wreath design you used in a couple of places was from a napkin? Just realized this is the third time I’ve watched your video. It always inspires me to start my Halloween designs 👏🏽👏👏🏼🤸♂️🎈🤸♂️🎈❤️💕
Oh, okay... Seriously gone "batty" over this one! I would love a tutorial, for sure! I cannot find this kind of accordion folder. However, I think I could make one. Do you happen to have a tutorial to do that? I just love your channel... I love your little witch named Borka... I don't think I could part with this one... especially since you have such treasures and personal bugs in it... Hugs...
Ha! I don't have a tutorial on an accordion journal but I may do one. Thanks for your kind words and for watching!
I would love a tutorial!
I have watched this video entirely too many times. Lol.
Did you ever sell this or did you hang onto it?
HI Monica yes it sold a while ago.
@@robindudleyhowes I don't know how you let go of that beauty; it's just GORGEOUS!
