Kristine LeRoss has been scrapbooking for decades, but when her daughter graduated from high school and left for college, the 12x12 layouts that had always been her format stopped feeling like the right fit. She discovered the Stop the Blur memory planning system from Heidi Swapp, spent a long time lurking and dabbling before things clicked, and now fills her weekly spreads with the kinds of everyday moments she never would have thought to put on a traditional layout.

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.
