Hear Me Out...This Isn’t Just Stickers and Likes
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… Credit Where Credit’s Due
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.

Hear Me Out... Dumpster Fire Meets Spreadsheet
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.
