100 Days All About Me

Posted on by

Earlier this year I decided to embark on The 100 Day Project. I managed about 15 days. So, not so great.
When I heard Kristin (of Awesome Ladies fame) on the 100 Creatives podcast talking about her 100 Day project I thought it sounded pretty cool and something I could achieve (you can listen to the episode here). Then Kristin released it as an Awesome Ladies Project, a follow along email challenge. I jumped in.

My plan – answer each daily question using up my stash of 3×4 Project Life cards.

9 Days in and I’ve managed to do every question so far, except today which I’ll do while I watch Game of Thrones. Once I get to day 25 I’ll share my first batch of cards.

If you are interested to read more about the project or to sign up yourself, head on over to http://theawesomeladiesproject.com/projects/100days/

Another month done and dusted. February was all about Favourites.

Starting with my 3×8 divider page

Then a page about music. I love music, it’s probably one thing I couldn’t live without and my favourite foods

Awesome Ladies January 2017

Posted on by

I’ve finally finished my Awesome Ladies Project pages for January, February & March (thanks in part to the 100 day project) but never got around to posting so over the next few days I’ll be sharing them here Smile

I’ve started my album with a 3×8 pocket and 2 3×4 cards from my stash and backed it with a 3×8 page from Ali Edwards.

Next we welcome January pages with a Snapcaht of me, my January Currently list and 5 facts about me. The backside of that page is a #thursday3 list, a mirror selfie and a quote card I had in my Becky Higgins collection.

Another 3×8 divider. Front side is a list of 39 things about me (as I’m 39 this year) and the reverse is my journaling for my Day in the Life, which I did on my birthday.

Next up a mini snapshot of my Day in the Life using a bunch of 2×2 pictures.

The 100 Day Project Days 1-10

Posted on by

Well, yet again I fell off the wagon and haven’t managed to create a page a day. Life (& work) has gotten in the way of my creative mojo. BUT I have a plan. I’m just going to try for 100 layouts even if it takes me til the end of the year. I may do a bunch in one day. I may do one in a week. But I will be sharing them. So here are the first 10 pages I have done so far.

* My ALP pages will get their own posts so you will be able to check them out there

Currently card making

Posted on by

With Easter and my daughter’s bff’s birthday in April I decided to make a few cards for something different.

I love the Mama Elephant 3 Amigos stamp set. That little fox is too cute.
The next four are all Easter cards.
Can’t remember what the bunny stamps are. The second two are quilled by me. Don’t think I’d do the egg again – it took me ages!

This is my fifth year documenting Week in the Life on my and you can check out my previous years’’ Week in the Life posts here. And I just realised that I need to go back and add photos back to some of the earlier posts :/ Oh well another project to add to the list

Another Project–The 100 Day Project

Posted on by

What Is the 100-Day Project? It’s a celebration of process that encourages everyone to participate in 100 days of making. The great surrender is the process; showing up day after day is the goal. For the 100-Day Project, it’s not about fetishizing finished products—it’s about the process. You can check it out or maybe even sign up for your own 100 Day Project here. We kick off on the 4th of April 2017.

I attempted this last year and failed but upside is I have a pile of pretty homemade PL cards. You can see some of them here.

This year I have decided that I’m going to do something, hopefully, more doable and something I need to get done – 100 layouts in 100 days. My hashtag, if you want to follow along on Instagram will be #nightwolfdoes100layouts

How I’m scrapping in 2017

Posted on by

December flew by in such a rush and we went away on holiday so I didn’t scrap a thing all month!

My word of the year for 2017 is me so I’m making sure I take more time for me and the things I love, which includes scrapbooking.

This year I plan to…

  • create a photo book of our holiday using the Project Life app and most likely printing it through Snapfish.
  • finish our 2016 Journal Your Christmas pages. Keeping it very simple this year so I get it done.
  • create a year of me album – not sure what it will include as yet but it’s my Awesome Ladies Project for the year
  • keep up to date with the girls albums. Simplify this year. Use up the supplies I have. Print photos and journal each month. Get it done, not perfect.
  • Day in the Life & Week in the Life. Thinking of doing these digitally and printing them. I did this for Day in the Life in 2016 and it worked well so I might try it for Week in the Life too.
  • possibly other projects that I have on the backburner or that spark my interest

I’m part of the Awesome Ladies team again this year. Things are a little different this year and I’d love it if you join us over at the new website and community.

So that’s my plans for 2017 in a nutshell. What are your plans?
