Pull Up a Chair

This is where we slow things down a little and talk about the part of scrapbooking that happens before the paper ever hits the trimmer. The stories we want to remember. The photos sitting on our phones. The supplies we already own. And sometimes, the little nudge we need to actually sit down and make something with all of it.

Around The Kitchen Table, you’ll find simple ideas for telling your stories, using your supplies, finding inspiration, and making scrapbooking fit into real life. Nothing complicated. Just helpful conversations designed to get your photos off your phone and your memories onto the page.

Stories Worth Keeping

Not every scrapbook page needs a big event behind it. Sometimes the stories worth saving are tucked inside ordinary afternoons, family traditions, favorite foods, familiar places, funny little sayings, and things you never realized you would miss until they changed.

Here we’ll talk about finding those stories and getting enough of them onto paper that someday someone will know why those photos mattered.

A Little Help Along the Way

Sometimes you know the story. You even have the photos. You just need help getting from there to a finished page.

This is where I’ll share the little things I’ve learned along the way, from choosing photos and working with sketches to using what you already have, simplifying your supplies, and getting unstuck when you’ve spent twenty minutes moving the same piece of paper around your desk.

Listen While You Craft

Some Kitchen Table conversations will also be available to listen to. Put one on while you sort photos, cut paper, clean your craft space, or work on your next layout. Think of it as pulling up a chair with me without having to stop what you’re doing.
