Notes de l’épisode
Bre Randon makes around 250 digital pages a year. Sara Case pulls two stories at the end of each month, and if those two layouts get made, she's good. For the second half of our two-part series leading into the 2027 Planning Party, I'm joined by Simple Scrapper staff and creative team members to talk about how each of us decides what counts as enough. The answers range from tracking hours to tracking nothing at all, and none of us do it exactly the same.

Notes de l’épisode
Square digital pages, 12x12 paper layouts, 6x8 inserts, Blurb trade books, and three-ring binders all show up in this conversation with six members of the Simple Scrapper staff and creative team. In the first of a two-part series leading into the 2027 Planning Party, we dig into format: digital or paper, what size, layouts or pockets, and how each of those choices shapes what actually gets finished. The group's approaches could hardly be more different, yet the same lessons keep surfacing. Know why you're making it, pick what checks the most boxes, and leave yourself room to change.

With her daughters growing up, fewer photos to work with, and a family health crisis that turned everything upside down, she needed a more flexible approach to memory keeping. Her solution: a monthly 6x8 pocket page project that captures everyday stories without the pressure of 12x12 Project Life or full-size layouts.

In our conversation Alissa maps how products come into her creative life, how she decides what to keep working with, and why the friction of online shopping has quietly done more for her stash-busting goals than any deliberate plan. She made zero new purchases in 2026 before this recording and is down to a single quarterly kit subscription.

Cassie Wiscarson is a Washington State scrapbooker with a graphic, colorful, photo-focused style and a genuine love of everyday moments. As our March 2026 featured artist, she joins us for this My Way episode to share the projects and perspectives that keep her coming back to her craft room, even in a season of life that has required some intentional prioritizing.
- Cassie's roots go back to film photography, including a DIY darkroom in her in-laws' basement, and that love of capturing small, joyful moments still shapes how she scrapbooks today.
- After joining a digital design team, she discovered that printing her own hybrid supplies made her more intentional, and she shares how that fits alongside her 12x12 layouts and 6x8 monthly recaps.
- Her new magnetic glass mat changed everything about her mixed media practice, and she makes a pretty compelling case for it.
- Cassie also opens up about stepping back from design teams to care for her mom, and how reclaiming Saturday as her own became essential for her mental health.
