Scrapbook Your Way

Alissa Williams is the director of a small public library in central Illinois, and she came into our conversation with a clear picture of everything in her stash: where it lives, what it is, and when she is done with it. 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.
