Today I’m sharing a list of my favourite scrapping sites (in no particular order)

and some of my favourite blogs

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
