We’ve well into the Fall Semester of the Feminist Scrapbook School and the current class is all about YOU!

Unfold Your Story

Dive into the world of scrapbooking with “Unfold Your Story: An Artistic Dive into Self with ‘Mini-Book of Me’”! In this online course, you’ll craft a captivating accordion-style mini-book of your favorite things, using our easy Fold-it-In method. Open to all levels, this fun and empowering journey celebrates your unique story, combining artistry with the joy of self-expression in a warm, welcoming community.

I love my Books of Me albums and am very excited to get stuck into this one.

You can join Unfold Your Story by taking just the class (costs $39US) or by becoming a member of Feminist Scrapbook School (cost $279US annually, $79US quarterly or $27US monthly).

It’s not just about the creating, it’s about the community. Getting to know each other, make new friends, catch up with old ones (something I’m looking forward to as I miss hanging out with my ALP girl gang over winter). Join the After Dark chat on the Saturday evening (US time) for lots of creative fun and chatter.

30 Days of Showing Up

One of my favourite projects at the Awesome Ladies Project is 30 Days of Showing up. It’s about showing up for 30 days and doing something creative each day. Lots create in their Daily Pages, others do art. I decided to do another digital version of Daily Pages. It’s something I can do each evening in a short period of time – I like to limit myself to 15 minutes, 30 minutes max.
It helps me learn more about my programs and gives me a little creative boost each day.

Anyway, here’s my 30 pages for 2023

Awesome Ladies Project presents Feminist Scrapbook School

If you’ve been following me for awhile you’ll know how u I love Kristin and the Awesome Ladies Project. I love that there is a free membership that offers so much stuff but there is also a paid membership that gives you so much more. The All Access Club is getting an overhaul in 2023 and going forward will be known as Feminist Scrapbook School.

Scrapbooking the stories of your life is a radical act of self-care, a way to state your existence, and a simple, creative way to show up for yourself.
You are the author of your own adventures — even when those adventures take place in the comfort of your own home. Every story is valid, and we’re here to help you tell the ones most important to you.
The Awesome Ladies Project’s Feminist Scrapbook School is the only place on the planet to teach you how to scrapbook & document your life through an anti-patriarchy, anti-capitalist, anti-white supremacy lens.

Kristin & the team over at ALP are holding an Orientation Week starting January 17.

Awesome Ladies Daily Pages Challenge

I love my Daily Pages. I  may take a break from them from time to time but I know it’s a little crafty goodness I can dive into at any time and not feel behind.
For example, I haven’t created a little book in months but for September  I’m back doing my pages, Monday to Friday and enjoying it.

It’s somewhere I can create, practice techniques, just have some craft fun and not stress about it being ‘perfect’. Some of my favourites are nothing more than some washi & a quote card, a quote card and some word stickers. stamping, you get the idea. It’s the home of my Currently cards and my Thursday 3 lists. It’s the place I chuck my favourite quotes or things I see on Instagram.

You can check out my Daily Pages album.

Kristin at the Awesome Ladies is holding a 5 day email challenge for beginners and seasoned Daily Pagers alike. You can read more about it (& sign up to join us) by heading over to Daily Pages Challenge sign up.
You’ll also be some of the first to hear about the amazing things Kristin has been working on Winking smile

Time for a catch up

It’s been a while since we just had a catch up. How are you all doing? What have you been up to?
Me? Well I’m doing ok, on the mend from a chest infection. Mentally, doing ok, still have my days. Had a few dark days when I was sick as it really hit me I can’t just ring Mum when sick. This girl still needs her Mum.
Craft wise – Daily Pages, planner spreads, working in my Book of Me, making things with the fellow Fussy Cutting Cuties. Getting ready for an awesome weekend of crafting during the Awesome Ladies Project’s annual Harvest Fest.
