Kim Chaffin has been scrapbooking for nearly 30 years, ever since a friend invited her to a Creative Memories party and she realized the photos she was already taking and the journaling she was already keeping belonged on the same page. She lives in Tennessee, in a town internationally known as the storytelling capital of the world. That passion for story is at the core of why she never gets tired of this hobby.

Anna Komenda lives just outside Warsaw, Poland, and has been scrapbooking since her older daughter was born. She creates colorful, layered pages with custom ink backgrounds, asymmetrical compositions, and a genuine love of working with dies and mixed media. Being based in Europe means navigating a craft market that skews heavily toward card making, and that constraint has shaped how she thinks about creativity and what to do with the supplies in front of her.

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.
