100 Day Project

There’s been a bit of talk in the craft world this week about The 100 Day Project. That’s probably because it starts on the 18th February, so this coming weekend.

I have tried numerous times to complete this but never finished it but recently during a discussion over at the Awesome Ladies, someone suggested working through the amazing classes and challenges on the site. Now I’m known for starting classes and usually not finishing them, so my 100 Day Project is……
working through all the classes and challenges I’ve signed up for at the Awesome Ladies and getting them finished.

I think I’ll post my creations here every 10 days and on my Insta but we’ll see how I go.

What is the 100 Day Project?
From the 100 Day Project website

#The100DayProject is a free, global art project that takes place online. Every year, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of creating. Anyone can participate (yes, that means you!).

Save the date: the next round of the project starts
February 18, 2024!

Let me know if you’re taking part and where you’re sharing so I can come cheer you along

Month in Review–January 2024

I’m bringing back my monthly reviews.

Welcome to my crafty month in review.
Each month I’ll be sharing what I’ve posted here, progress on yearly projects, what crafty things I’ve been consuming, any new crafty supplies I’ve bought, and my favourite product of the month. I may even add a head’s up about any workshops or classes that will be happening.
So onto January

Awesome Ladies Projects

I’m really looking forward to 2024 over at the Awesome Ladies Project. Kristin has so many good things planned.

We’ve just started into our Spring semester and if you join the Feminist Scrapbook School you can still work through Semester Orientation.

Our first class of the year is this weekend and it’s Book of Me Bootcamp.

Love this event and it always gets me excited and motivated for the year ahead.
When you join you’ll get immediate access to 15 videos which will help you create your own Book of Me.
On Saturday & Sunday there will be a bunch of live events including making your cover page, overcoming roadblocks (this one is always super helpful – creating pages about yourself can be difficult), your album setup for 2024, creating interactive pages and setting up for success.

I’ve already picked my album for 2024 but I’ll share about that after the weekend.

Hope to see you at this awesome event.

2024 in my Memory Planner

Last year was a bit of a failure for my memory planner. I’ve got all my digital plans done in Photoshop, journaling done in Day One but next to nothing done in the actual book.

This year I have a bit of a plan:

Monthly accountability in the Stop the Blur Facebook group I run. Someone suggested it and I’m like yes I need this too. Hoping having a group will keep us all up to date. If you are interested in joining us and a fan of the Heidi Swapp Stop the Blur classes/kits and the Storyline Chapters products, jump on over.
Monthly Journaling Club. Another bit of accountability. My Abiding Journal over on her Patreon, is running a free monthly journaling club. Learn more about it here. Hoping it will help with my monthly spreads.
Continue doing my digital page plans in Photoshop and journaling in Day One.
Accountability here. Sharing my monthly and weekly pages here with you all.

So essentially more accountability this year. I really hope it will keep me on track.

I’m not sure if I will continue subbing to Heidi’s stop the Blur kits when my 12 month sub finishes. The exchange rate is a pain and, honestly I have hardly used any of the stuff I have. I’ll keep doing the monthly classes though as I love the techniques and ideas she shares as well as the monthly printable. Maybe 2024 is my year to use my stash!

Photo-A-Day for 2024

Yes I’m giving this another go.
So far I’ve managed most days. Sadly though the app I was using to collate all my photos no longer exists so I’m on the hunt for another. If you know something that works similar to Collect photo app please let me know.

Anyways, since I can’t use Collect anymore I needed something else to do with my photos. obviously Chantelle at Fat Mum Slim had that idea as well cause she create the 2024 Photo A Day bundle. It’s all 366 prompts for this year (but not in the months so you can use them whenever), an ebook on how to take better photos with your phone and a Photo-A-Day journal. Such an awesome idea.

Now I’m not sure how I want to do my journal as yet. Currently I’m adding my photo, prompt and journaling about the photo into the Day One app (it has a calendar view but it’s pretty small) and I think the plan will be at the end of each month I’ll add it all into the journal.

As for sharing here, I’m thinking creating something in Canva to add my photos into then sharing it in my Photo a Day gallery slideshow for the year.

We’ll see how we go.
