• Hear Me Out... Dumpster Fire Meets Spreadsheet 15.09.2025 1t

  In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and I dig into how different we really are when it comes to scrapbooking, content creation, and staying motivated. From my love of spreadsheets and careful planning to her “wing it and edit later” approach, we break down how two totally opposite styles can still lead to creative success. We talk about voiceovers, editing quirks, paper choices, and even the pressure of creating for YouTube while still making time to enjoy the hobby. Whether you’re curious about hybrid scrapbooking, month-in-review layouts, printing photos at home, or just how creators balance chaos and control, this episode is full of real talk and behind-the-scenes insights for scrapbookers and memory keepers.
• Hear Me Out… Credit Where Credit’s Due 29.09.2025 55min

  In this episode of Hear Me Out, Nicole and Lisa dive into the idea of giving credit where credit is due in the scrapbooking community. We talk about scrap lifting, the fine line between inspiration and copying, and why proper crediting matters so much when sharing layouts, sketches, or ideas online. From pet peeves about uncredited work to practical tips for tagging creators, organizing sketches, and even handling situations where you can’t remember the original source, we cover the ethics and etiquette of content sharing in scrapbooking. We also chat about free vs. paid content, collaborations, stock photos, and the ripple effect that happens when credit is given generously. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance inspiration with originality or why giving credit builds stronger connections in our crafty world, this conversation is for you.

  In this episode of This Isn’t Just Stickers and Likes, Nicole and Lisa dive deep into the behind-the-scenes reality of running a creative YouTube channel and building a scrapbooking career. We share our personal journeys, from early experiments, design team experiences, and participating in hops, to the grind of filming, editing, and dealing with tech mishaps like lost footage, camera issues, and missing audio. We talk about why instant growth is a myth, how to find your niche, and the value of community and classes in keeping us motivated. Along the way, we reveal our different approaches to editing, teaching, and sharing content, plus how we stay inspired after years in the hobby. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, hybrid creator, or content creator curious about the behind-the-scenes work, this episode gives you an honest look at what it really takes to create, teach, and share online while staying true to yourself.

• Hear Me Out...Paper Meets Pixels 24.11.2025 59min

  In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and Lisa dig into what really separates traditional scrapbooking from hybrid scrapbooking and how blending paper with digital elements has changed the way we create. We share how we got started with hybrid, our early layouts, and what I’ve learned while designing for Kellybell Designs and Traci Reed. We talk about choosing between physical papers and digital collections, how hybrid helps us reuse older kits, and what to do if you don’t have a 12x12 printer. We walk through the perks of customizing and resizing digital pieces, printing at home, trying different paper types like vellum or canvas, and using tech confidently without losing the hands-on feel we love. If you’re curious about hybrid scrapbooking, want ideas for mixing digital files with your stash, or just want to hear our honest thoughts about hybrid scrapbooking, this episode gives you plenty to think about.

We share how Lisa plan trips with scrapbooking in mind so she comes home with photos worth documenting, plus our honest confessions about overpacking, forgetting essentials, travel routines, and the games that make long drives memorable. Along the way, we swap hilarious travel stories, childhood nicknames, celebrity crushes, tattoo meanings, sleeping habits, and the random things you only learn about someone after hours in the car together.

• Hear Me Out...Crops Are More About People Than Layouts 09.03.2026 1t 52min

  In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and Lisa finally meet in person for the first time at the ScrapRoom Crop, and we’re putting our bold idea to the test: Are scrapbooking crops more about the people than the layouts? We share our first impressions of each other, talk through the fun, connection, and community that make crop weekends so special, and even revisit a past crop horror story involving a haunted hotel. We discuss what we love to bring to a crop, what we always forget to pack, and whether we come to be productive or to connect with other scrapbookers. We also sit down with Rochelle, owner of The ScrapRoom kit club, to get an inside perspective on hosting a scrapbooking crop, running a scrapbook business in today’s online world, and why her event only happens once a year. Plus, we hit the crop floor for “street style” interviews with fellow scrappers about what they’re working on, how much they’ve accomplished, and why they keep coming back. If you love scrapbooking retreats, crop events, scrapbook kit clubs, and the creative community that surrounds this hobby, this chaotic and heartfelt episode is for you.

• S2: E8 - Hear Me Out...Creating with Collections Might Change How You Scrap 01.06.2026 2t 10min

  In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and Lisa dive into Creating with Collections, a scrapbooking challenge focused on getting the most from a single scrapbook collection. Nicole explains how she started this series and her experience with the past four series she has completed. We then share our experiences using the Doodlebug Tinsel Time collection, discuss how to stretch supplies across multiple layouts, use scrapbook sketches to keep designs fresh, and decide whether a collection has enough papers and embellishments to go the distance. We also tackle listener questions about busy patterned papers, leftover scraps, killing a kit, and how to choose scrapbook collections that fit your style and photos. If you've ever wondered when a collection is truly finished or how to make the most of the scrapbook supplies you already own, this episode is packed with practical tips, honest opinions, and plenty of scrapbook talk.
