Scrapbook Soup!

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer uses pen and ink techniques in the first segment. Next, Emma Beechy demonstrates how to make a three dimensional stamped flower without hand cutting to decorate a scrapbook page. Then, Kathy Peterson makes a cute and girly scrapbook shopping bag using designs created with a mobile scanner. Last, Jo Pearson demonstrates decorating candles with special tissue paper designs.

Every occasion no matter how big or small deserves a card - and today we've got designs for everyday occasions. Today's soup includes lacy pop up cards with a graphic design, some tasty treat cards featuring a lemonade stand with Sara Naumann, and translating a layout into a card with Nancy Nally. Lots of cards and ingredients in one Scrapbook Soup.

Today's menu features useful 3D scrapbook projects. We make pencils with an artful touch, a scrapbook grid layout to celebrate daily life with Ali Edwards, and a scrapbook inspired tote using kaleidoscopes with Joe Rotella. Stir them all together for one fabulous Scrapbook Soup.

We begin with an awesome page, then it's a project life page with Nancy Nally using instagram photos, and finally a family heirloom with modern techniques but historic info from Paula Nelson-Hart. Great for young family members to get to know their heritage and for older family members to remember and reflect.

Raid your art box for paint and gesso as we paint our way to fantastic layouts. Create Stencils with Jenny Barnett Rohrs, a layout from Ronda Palazzari with a technique for changing patterned paper into unique embellishments with gesso, and watercolors, and the fourth level (that's more than the third!) of dimension from Kim Hupke on a page entitled "my girl".

Scrapbooking can get very regimented - with the right way to use a product or the correct way to lay out a page. Today we're encouraging a more casual approach - one that fits your life style and design aesthetics. Take a casual approach to your scrapbooking with two "hello" themed pages, scrapbook sketches from Kelly Purkey, and five ways to use lattice designs from Sara Naumann.
