Is anyone doing the 100 day project this year? It starts April 3rd and runs through July 11th. There's not much to it, just pick something creative to do for 100 days and if you want, share it on Instagram. Here's a link to the official site: 100 Day Project
Last year, I joined in and made cards. While, I didn't make a card every single day, I did end up with 100 cards at the end of the 100 days. It was great that having my Christmas cards done in July and having a bunch of all occasion cards on hand but I didn't like that I was more focused on making cards and did not work on one layout for that entire time and after I was burned out from paper crafting. For this year, I wanted something that leaned more towards memory keeping. It was between learning how to use my DSLR properly or getting more proficient with the cameo. I am ultimately going with the camera since it's less of a hassle, will generate scrapbook topics, get me in the habit of taking pictures plus we're going on vacation in May and I don't want to get a week behind. If a bunch of us are participating, maybe we can come up with our own hashtag.

I’m doing 100 days of self portraits and flowers. I’m going to take a photo of myself or flowers or both each day. These are 2 areas of my photography I really want to improve.
If you have any questions about your dslr along the way reach out. I love photography.

I got one last year and haven't done too much with it at all. There's a semi local camera store that offers classes which I am going to look into to get me started.

There was some discussion of this project and a link HereI like the idea of just doing something creative every day without worrying about what to produce.

I’m thinking of participating through a journaling project but some of it is abuse related stufff I’m trying to work through. So I’m not sure if I’ll share my project, but I’m hoping to find some joy in it nevertheless! And that’s the point I think.

I am not going to sign up at the 100 Days site. I am not on Instagram. But I am trying to figure out what to do on my own, maybe with some support on this board.
I just dug out the April May June July pages from a Carpe Diem album I used for a fall travel adventure a couple of years ago. I now have them jump ringed together along with some PL cards and envelopes and sleeves from a partially used Snap collection from my 30 Days of Thankful. I think I will jerry rig an album or box for them to use until I get another Carpe diem album.
My goal is just to do something creative every day: maybe play with paint, or dimensional paste, or whatever suits my fancy on any given day. I am allowing myself creative writing as an option as well for days I am away from my beloved--but under used--art supplies. Then I will document what I have done on the planner pages, and put small samples into the sleeves.
On days that I am actually scrapbooking or cardmaking, taking part in the April Team Challenge, I can document that too.

Okay: I decided to use the original box from the Carpe Diem. It has a clear plastic top, so I cut a piece of sb paper to fit, then scrapbooked that paper, glued it into the inside of the clear lid, and added a flower and a wood veneer piece on the outside of the lid. I can get some points for Calvinball for this project, and now I am all ready to get started with my 100 Days project on Tuesday. Bonus: when I get a new binder--which I want to do--it will fit right into this box. Attachments:

Look at you jumping right in!! This looks terrific!! Thanks! I am not one who needs every page to have the same format when starting something like a December Daily or 30 days of Thankful project, but I DO need to have some place to collect what I am doing for the project, so I am happy I now have that place for this project. I would love it if people who are signed up for the 100 Days project could share over here as well, just to keep each other motivated. Even if it is just a note to say "I did _____ today". or even "This past 10 days I have done _______________"

If a bunch of us are participating, maybe we can come up with our own hashtag. I’d love for us to use a distinct tag (even if it’s just a couple of people, lol) Something simple that we could add in addition to our other 100 days tags, like simply #100dayspeas I’m doing 100 Days of Project Life. My goal is to work on my PL catchup everyday, a little or a lot.

I'll be joining you! 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. 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!

I need to do this. I need to make 45 hockey related cards for my son's former hockey club. They have 7 players of the month for 5 months plus injured players. This challenge would help me distribute this over a period of time instead of doing them all in one weekend like last year.
