Here is MY spot!
I will not be signed up for the original project b/c I am not on Instagram. But I hope to participate here.
I have a sorta/kinda plan to do something creative every day. Hoping to play with mixed media (including getting more proficient at using Oxides), but also maybe some doodling/sketching, maybe some journaling/poetry writing.
I have set up a box from a Carpe Diem album with planner pages for the 3 months included as well as some pocket page protectors to hold samples of my creative endeavors or photos of them.

Ok I’m here and committed! I bought this journal at Christmas unsure if I wanted it for myself or to give it to my daughter. I’m going to keep it and write in it each day. I’m trying to work through repressed memories. I’m also going to co mingle my writing with the beginnings of a novel. I wrote a manuscript a few years ago but it was unpolished and my ideas felt flat so I abandoned it with the idea that someday I’d try again. I even told my husband that when we first reconnected 5 years ago. I had a sudden burst of creativity today in the car line so I started putting pen to paper and I kept going so I’m going to put that into my 100 days. Part of my abuse that I’ve wanted to share was a fiction story. Thanks for the support!!

Here is my spot. I know this morning I said I was going to learn how to use my DSLR properly but part of me wants to do something more tactile. I will be making the executive decision shortly. I'll share whatever I end up doing here and on instagram. Here's a link to my profile for anyone interested www.instagram.com/cconides/grammadee thanks for starting the thread!  |

My spot too! I am not "officially signed up" although I might do that. I will post at least some on IG and my username is teacherlisa. My plan is to take a photo a day of something in or around my home. I will be editing photos in afterlight 2 which I will need to learn more about I have already set up a 2 up photo album with room for 1 4x6 photo and 1 4x6 PL type journaling card for each day of the project. With my 100 photos, I will journal on 100 cards about things like why i chose this item, or why it is in my house or garden or whatever. I hope to capture and "tell the why" of lots of the small details here. I am also hoping it brings me gratitude and appreciation about my home, as I have been a little down about things that need to be fixed lol. |

I’m going to give it a go, working on calligraphy and hand lettering techniques. It will be fun to see what everyone works on. Thanks for starting the thread to connect all of us!
I just signed up for the newsletter, and will document on instagram — oaksongstudio. I’m not sure how I’m going about it yet, but as a general start I’m going to check out some calligraphers that have caught my eye lately. I already know some formal styles, but I want to loosen up, try other pens and media.
1. Made some current lettering samples with Zig Clear Color Brushes and traced an “a” lettering sheet with a Zig marker. Ugh, it all looks terrible. Clearly, room for improvement!

I posted most of this on the other thread but now that we're official, here it is! My goal is a very broad "100 days of creativity". While most of my projects will likely be cards, I hope to also do some scrapbooking. I may even try some mixed media/art journaling. During this time I'd also like to focus on the stamps in my collection that haven't seen ink, the dies that haven't been cut and the untried techniques that I bought all the supplies for. For the past 2 weeks I've been doing a bit of a trial run. In a small daily planner, I'm tracking what I've done creatively every day, number of cards made, what new products/techniques I used and what I learned from the process. As I look back over my 2 weeks of data, I've made some interesting discoveries about myself and my crafting time. One hundred days should be very revealing! Thanks for starting this thread, grammadee! |

My Spot!  I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. I'm leaning toward just doing something creative every day as I have soooo, sooo many creative projects that need attention. And I've been slacking considerably on the doing something creative every day arena. I also need to learn how to use certain creative technology and would count that as well. I would post here and on instagram (lisadv02) |

I am still on the fence because I'm traveling across the dateline on Apr 4th and haven't settled on something that I really want to do yet. But I feel like that shouldn't stop me from doing something anyway. I have a pen and paper... and a camera. I'll keep thinking about it and might update this post in a day or so. If I do something I'll be sharing it on Instagram. joblackford ETA: Now that I'm thinking more about it, I'm leaning towards doing *something* in my new black page journal. I've done a few bits and pieces in there before we went on vacation, but I'm not going to have access to the journal again until April 5th, so I'm going to be a bit behind. Or maybe I can just draw some things on regular paper to add in when I get home. I'm thinking I'll work at least 15 minutes in the journal each day - writing, lettering, drawing in white on black paper, stamping on black paper with oxides (??), or sticking stuff in. |

Saving my spot. I’ll be doing something. I said in the other thread that I’d be doing 100 Days of Project Life. This is what I should do, to push myself to catching up and filling in all the gaps in my albums. This is what I should do. But another part of me wants to do something completely out of my comfort zone, like draw. I used to draw/paint all the time when I was in high school and college. I haven’t really done it in years. Most likely, I’ll stick to my original plan of Project Life. I think I would more likely to stick with that. In fact, typing this, I’ve almost convinced myself again that PL is the way to go. I’ll decide by the starting day. I’ll be posting on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/steelecrafty/ |

I am going to try to do something creative each day...mostly working through my backlog of ephemera and photos...some need scrapping, some need to be added to albums. I am also thinking about using my fuse tool to create pockets for ephemera and stuff such as move tickets and coins from other countries. I also plan to make some cards. I am traveling so I may use some project life app stuff too. I would rather play here because it feels safe!! So here is my spot!! Thanks for the post and invite grammadee  |

I'm in! I've not decided if I'm going to share on my Instagram or not. I will probably decide that on a day-to-day basis. Kaye's InstagramI'm not focusing on one particular thing. I've got so many projects that I want to work on. I will pick and choose based on what I feel like doing that day and how much time I have available, but I plan to work on my Project Life, cross-stitch projects, wall hanging quilts, and my One Little Word journal. |

I'm planning to participate. I had thought of doing a journaling project, but I got my first smartphone this week! Yay! So I really want to learn this awesome new camera I will be doing a daily photo and want to try out filters and apps with it. I am not sharing on Instagram. I like teacherlisa s idea of incorporating something to be thankful with her photo s and may do that too |

I'm in! I'm going to do 100 days of nature journalling. That might include sketching with pen, watercolours or photography. Depends on how the day goes really. I'll be publishing on Instagram as I've found it a brilliant, encouraging community for this project. I'm _she_sees on there. Really excited to start this project, but gosh I'm nervous too. God knows why, but I am. |

Looking forward to being inspired! |

I couldn't get your link to work. I did find you by typing your name, bsidecrafter. (maybe this new link up will work for everyone.) My goal is to do 100 days inspired by my pinterest boards - some things may take more than 1 day. This way I can do anything from cleaning to organizing to crafts to cooking , etc. OH!~! This is brilliant! I may be copying this for mine since I have so many things to do: garden planning; bible journaling with dd (part of school); cooking with dd's new diet; and of course, some cleaning and organizing and home decor things as well. |

I'm in... except I'm not sure what I'm doing yet and I know I'm running out of time to decide! Problem is I have too many ideas of things I want to do and lots of them seem unrealistic for me to do for 100 days (but I want to try to do them anyways in addition to this project) and then I end up with too many things to do! There are already a lot of things I do everyday (or try to do everyday) so maybe adding something else to the list isn't the right thing for me... I will update when (if) I figure it out!
I haven't "officially" signed up, I didn't realize that was a thing? I'm on instagram, but I am not planning on sharing via instagram. I will do this either just by myself or share on here.

Hello Everyone. Thanks for setting up this thread. I will do something around photography. I have a mirroless camera, a cellphone, and a point and shoot. I would like to take at least 1 photo per day and focus on learning to use the mirroless camera more in manual mode. I actually have no idea if I have signed up so I guess I need to check that out.

That was my problem this year. I didn't want to over reach and become discouraged but I didn't want to do the same thing day after day. Signing up on the official website just gets you email newsletters, it's not a requirement at all. I finally settled on 100 days of memories. I have a ton of ideas jumping around in my head and over the next 100 days, I'll spend time organizing them so I don't forget them, taking pictures related to them or actually scrapbooking them. It's broad enough that I can adjust what I do and share based on how much time I have each day. |

okay, Ladies! Are you ready to start getting crafty? I have my box ready to collect my little creations, and have pulled out some art journal paper, some Bristol cs, and some watercolour paper. Just not sure which of my art supplies I want to try first. Paints? Gelatos? Oxide inks? Spritzes and sprays? Pastes and stencils? Watercolour pencils? Alcohol inks? It will be kind of fun to not worry about the results, just get wrapped up in the process. I think I need to go back to check out a couple of lilacgal's 28-4-28 colour challenges so I don't end up with muddy brown everytime I try to blend colours. |

I have settled on a plan of action. One of the challenges I face with brush lettering is being lefthanded. I’ve been watching lots of YouTube videos and found Inkerella. She has a beautiful letter style, is a lefty, and has some really nice tutorials. I’m excited to get started! I plan on splitting the 100 days between brush pens and markers, watercolor with brushes, and metal nib calligraphy pens. Thanks for the motivation, grammadee! |

Count me in! 100 days of documenting the essence of who I am. No daily goal(s), simply working towards a completed album/journal filled with everything that makes me me.
I might set up a parallel IG account for this. Not sure yet.
