    I’m giving this a go again. I’ve tried in previous years and failed. I think I have done it once for a full 100 days.

    What is the 100 Day Project?

    The idea is simple: choose a creative project, do it every single day for 100 days, and share your process on your social accounts using the hashtag #The100DayProject.

    Read all about it and how you can get involved at https://www.the100dayproject.org/

    My project – working through some of the many workshops I have signed up for in the last 12 months and never done, as well as working on my 2023 Book of Me.
    I’m starting with Francisca Nunes’ free class Fragments.

    I’ll be sharing updates here once a week and hopefully on my Instagram daily.

    Wish me luck.

    Are you doing the 100 Day Project? If so let me know in the comments and link me up so I can cheer you along

  • 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.

    • Welcome to the ALP’s Feminist Scrapbook School Orientation

    • All about Daily Pages & a Daily Pages prep party

    • How to get involved – events and projects
    • Lots of live events including Q&A sessions and quiet working time
    • Sneak peak of 30 Days of Showing Up

    Sound interesting? Then check the info page & come join us – there are options to pay monthly, quarterly & annually. There will also be a free taster session but I’m not sure on the details yet.
    January 17-21 2023 at the Awesome Ladies Project

    Hope to see you there!

  • Crafty Goals for 2023

    Another year and another list of goals I’d like to achieve

    Daily Pages – I don’t know if I’ll do these every month but I’d like to create 2 field notes books for the year – Currently and Thursday 3. Watch this space.

    100 Happy Days – it’s an easy project that I love doing.

    Photo-A-Day – I really want to make a full 365 and add them to the gallery at the end of each month.

    Book of Me. Looking forward to the changes Kristin is making to this project this year.

    Memory Planner. I managed to get myself enough inserts for this year & next. This project really seems to work for me.

    Other projects – Day in the Life, Week in the Life, December Documenting.

    Mixed media projects – Junk Journal January and July, Creative journal using prompts from Helen Colebrook on Patreon.

    What’s on your list for this year?

  • 2022 in review

    Here we are in 2023 so it’s time to do a review.

    I didn’t pick a word of the year in 2022 but if I had Chaotic would probably have been a good choice.  A few life issues and events got in the way of my crafting and I now know that I need to schedule craft time.

    Daily pages ended up being very on and off. I got to June with the 4×6 index cards and I do love them. I worked through the 30 days of showing up at the Awesome Ladies and did my Daily Pages in Canva. This was a great way of getting my pages done. Further into the year I found somewhere in Australia that sells Field Notes so I tried that and really love that size.

    100 Happy Days. Done & dusted for another year.

    Try a photo a day challenge. I managed to pretty much keep up with this, only missing a few days here and there. Now I need to save them and add them to the gallery.

    I could go on and on about how much I love the Heidi Swapp memory planner system using the Storyline Chapters books but I’m not going to. I fell a bit behind over winter but I have the whole year planned digitally and all my photos up to December printed.

    Due to some health issues (not mine), work has been a bit quieter so money is a lot tighter and sadly I had to give up a few things. Fussy Cutting Cuties was one. The exchange rate between here and the US is killer. I will miss this one.

    Day in the Life and Week in the Life were both done and in my memory planner.

    December scrapbooking didn’t exactly happen as we were busy with all the end of year festivities as well as end of primary school events for our eldest. I did, however, journal daily so I can sit down and get my pages done when I feel like it.

    How did your crafting plans go in 2022?

  • Hello December

    How is it December already? I swear I say that every year.

    Just a quickie post today with my plans for December and some December freebies.

    I’m doing December Daily/Journal Your Christmas. Still not entirely sure of my plan for creating as yet. The only thing I do know is take a bunch of photos and journal in Day One.

    Daily pages for December I’m thinking of playing with a vintage themed junk journal and revisiting some of the 30 Lists prompts from Decembers past. I do miss having that to do.

    So, expect to see some of that and some catching up from the other creative things I’ve been up to through out the month.

    Christmas freebies (I’ll be updating this list as I find more)

  • Well, what do we have here?

    It’s a new home and a new name for Nightwolf Scraps.

    I decided that the time had come to clean out a lot of the old (ie posts from the early 2010s) and give the blog a new name that is more a reflection of what I do.

    Thus Nightwolf Creates was born.

    I don’t just scrapbook anymore, I’ve branched into mixed media, card making, drawing, painting, digital art as well as memory keeping in various forms.

    What will you find on Nightwolf Creates? More galleries of my creations. Monthly round ups. Tutorials. Reviews of products I’ve bought or been gifted.
    I may have a few new things in the works but they won’t be until later.

  • 100 Happy Days – 2022 edition

    Well we’re back again for another year of 100 Happy Days. I’ve been doing this project since 2014? & I love taking a little snapshot daily of something that has made me happy. I start my 100 days on March 26 and go through until July 3rd. I use the Collect app to collect my images and at the end of the month use the collage feature.I originally had it posted on my main blog but moved it here in 2019 and I try and share my photos monthly.

    What is the 100 Happy Days project? It’s a photo project that challenges you to post something that makes you happy, daily, for 100 days.

  • What’s happening around here

    I’ve been picked as the most recent Awesome Ladies Member Spotlight. I’d love you to go check it out Smile
    https://theawesomeladiesproject.com/inspiration/awesome-lady-spotlight-caroline/

    Apart from that it’s been the usual – daily pages, book of me, memory planner, fussy cutting cuties and general crafting.

    Now the light is a bit more neutral during the day (when it’s not raining) I’m getting around to photographing my projects for the first quarter of the year so keep an eye out for them soon.

  • Day in the Life 2022

    Playing along with Ali Edwards and doing Day in the Life.
    I take my pictures and do all my journaling in the Day One app (I seriously love this app for memory keeping). I’ll most like make a fold out to add to my 2022 memory planner, similar to last year.
