100 Days Project Update: Days 26 - 31
I made it through the first month of the 100 Days Project! (You can't see it, but I'm doing a really lame dance in my chair right now.) So far, I have found it to be invigorating to work on something creative every day, whether that is a blog post here, a video on my YouTube channel, or actually putting something together when I'm at my craft desk. Here's a recap of days 26-31.
26) I did a layout in a traveler's notebook insert. I am really enjoying this new size and style for crafty projects!
27) I prepped multiple layouts for an upcoming scrap retreat. I believe in prepping because it helps me to get more done once I'm there; if I don't have things somewhat planned, I just sit there and become overwhelmed by a blank page and too much stuff around me. Prepping helps me to pare down what I'm bringing along with me, as well as to already have a design built for each layout.
28) I recorded a video for my YouTube channel. This one features 6x8 pocket pages. I'm getting more and more into this format. The photos I used were another set that I took at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
29) Today was super fun! I took an architecture and history walk around St. Paul, Minnesota. While I live near St. Paul, there is always more to learn about the downtown area and its past. I took a ton of photos, and it gave me the chance to really practice with shooting in manual mode with my camera.

30) After making sure it was really ready to go, I published the video I recorded on Day 28.
Recording them and then leaving them sit for a day or two helps me to be sure I'm happy with what I've recorded. It also allows me to add on to a video if I changed anything about a layout after I finished the initial recording.
31) Last day of August, whew! I spent some time working through my photos from Edinburgh. Since I am scrapping them in 6"x8" pocket pages, I am using the Project Life app to combine two photos into a 4"x6" photo (as pockets are a mix of 3x4 and 4x6).
