Scrapbook Soup Behind the Page Interview 2014

August 18, 2014

Scrapbook Soup Behind the Page Interview 2014

Earlier this spring I was invited to film some segments for the nationally-televised Scrapbook Soup tv program, which airs on PBS. In addition to the two tutorials I filmed (including the Two-Fer Inlaid Diecut Cards and Making Custom Stencils and Masks) I also was interviewed by the host, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. This was an unscripted, unrehearsed interview- and I was sorta surprised at some of the answers that popped out of my mouth! Take a look: That last answer was […]

Crafting Tools to Make Your Paper Crafting Easier As You Age

June 28, 2012

Crafting Tools to Make Your Paper Crafting Easier As You Age

Earlier this spring I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest on Scrapbook Soup and appear in a segment on crafting tools that help you make crafting easier as you age if you have vision, hand, or posture problems. I personally know a lot of crafters UNDER 40 that have conditions such as RA, Lupus, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel– so using adaptive crafting tools isn’t just for the senior citizen crowd. I wrote this article to accompany the segment- […]

Scrapbook Soup and the Week in Review Ending 4/20/12

April 21, 2012

Scrapbook Soup and the Week in Review Ending 4/20/12

Id barely recovered from last week’s trip to Washington, DC when I got a fabulous call to come tape a segment for the PBS show, Scrapbook Soup. I’d chatted with the producer months before….but like so many things, it was kind of in a holding pattern and nothing was set. So I scrambled to get some product together for a quick segment on adaptive tools for the scrapbooker. I’ll have more on the trip this week, but I did get […]

Behind the Scenes at “Scrapbook Soup”

April 9, 2011

Behind the Scenes at “Scrapbook Soup”

I find it amusing and beyond coincidence that the majority of PBS craft shows are shot on the East side of Cleveland. Every week, my favorite crafty people fly in, shoot their segments, and fly away back to their busy lives. Imagine how thrilled I was when one of my new crafty friends, Julie McGuffee, rang me up to let me know she was in town taping her new show, Scrapbook Soup, and I was invited to stop by and […]
