    S2: E7 - Hear Me Out...Corporate life to full-time Content Creator?

    18/05/2026 | 2h 13 mins.
    In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole turns the tables and interviews Lisa about some of the biggest changes in her creative journey. We look back at our Season 1 episode, From Hobby to Side Hustle, and talk about what has happened since then, including joining the Bella Blvd Creative Team, expanding Lisa's Etsy shop, launching Lisa's scrapbook organization products, and making the decision to leave her corporate job to become a full-time content creator. Nicole also shares what she has learned during her first year on the Bella Blvd team and offers her honest, slightly skeptical perspective on turning a creative hobby into a career. If you are interested in scrapbooking, content creation, Etsy, creative entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to bet on yourself, this episode is for you.

    Hear Me Out...What Makes a Scrap Space Work?

    04/05/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Lisa and Nicole are taking you inside our scrap room journey and how our creative space has evolved over the years. From scrapbooking at the kitchen table to creating a dedicated craft room, we are sharing what worked, what didn’t, and how we have adapted our setup to fit our real-life workflow. We talk about scrapbook organization ideas, must-have storage solutions, and the supplies we have repurchased again and again because they truly make a difference. Whether you have a full scrap room or a small crafting corner, this episode is all about finding scrapbook room ideas that work for you, your budget, and your creative style.

    Hear Me Out...A Printer Changed Our Scrapbooking (Was It Worth It?)

    20/04/2026 | 1h 36 mins.
    In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, we’re diving into the real question scrapbookers keep asking: is a home printer actually worth the investment? Lisa and Nicole share their experience with the Canon PIXMA G6020 MegaTank printer, why we chose it, and how printing at home has completely changed our scrapbooking process. From printing photos in multiple sizes to creating hybrid scrapbook elements like digital papers, embellishments, and journaling cards, we walk through exactly what we print and how it supports our workflow. We also cover how we use tools like Canva, Photoshop, and the Project Life app to resize and prep photos, plus how we print journaling using templates for a clean, professional look. Along the way, we are answering real listener questions about cost, print quality, and whether upgrading from printers like the Selphy or PictureMate is actually worth it. If you’ve been thinking about buying a printer for scrapbooking, this episode will help you decide if it’s the right investment for you.

    Hear Me Out...More Photos Doesn’t Mean More Layouts

    06/04/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
    Video Description:
    In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Lisa and Nicole are diving into one of the biggest struggles scrapbookers face. What do you actually scrapbook, and what do you leave out? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many photos, guilty for not documenting everything, or stuck trying to decide what deserves its own layout, this conversation will help you rethink your approach. Nicole and Lisa share how we use Month in Review layouts to simplify memory keeping, manage large volumes of photos, and focus on the moments that matter most without the pressure to capture it all. Whether you’re working through years of printed photos or just trying to keep up with everyday life, this episode will give you a practical and realistic way to scrapbook with more intention and less stress.
