So what’s this blog about?

So day 1 of the 31DBBB (31 Days to Build a Better Blog) Challenge is to do an elevator pitch for our blogs. Basically letting you, the reader know what the blog is about.

Nightwolf’s Layouts – it’s all about me, my life and my scrapbooking. Occasionally I throw in a photo or two, do some enabling and anything else I feel like.

so that’s it in a nutshell. my blog is really just me sharing stuff. hopefully it will interest and maybe inspire.

Now on to day 2

Been awhile

since I blogged. I think I’ve done a grand total of three LOs so far this year. will share them laters. Took part in the Hybrid Designs scrapbooking Survivor challenge. made it to week 5. This week saw the start of Mystical Scrapbooks Amazing Race. Will share the LOs from this after the comp has finished.

Also, I heard a rumour that Roll 2 Create is having a competition soon too.

Anyways just a random blog post today with another Facebook meme (it’s a long one)
