Class Sessions
A Day in the Life
25:51
The main reason we scrapbook is to capture those individual moments in time and keep them forever. Capture a moment in time in a scrapbook page, learn heat embossing with Kelly Purkey, and make a project life double page spread featuring a week in the life of Ali Edwards. A mix of ideas, supplies and designs - all in one Scrapbook Soup!
Cards for Everyday Occasions
25:47
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.
Point of View
25:46
Scrapbooking for your life means capturing events and moments that are all about you. It's creating projects with a very personal point of view. Our show includes: "Who I am becoming", a personal page reflecting today, a vintage collage layout using paints to add ephemera with Paula Nelson-Hart, and a tribute to "who you are" with Kim Hupke; projects about us all on today's Scrapbook Soup.
3D Projects
25:43
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.
Add-ons
25:51
Soup would be pretty boring if it was just broth. Scrapbook pages might also suffer the same fate without some interesting add-ons to rev them up. Explore beyond the norm with media mixage with Stacey Caron, add bezels, ribbon and buttons to create texture and dimension. Make a die cut frame with Jenny Barnett Rohrs and use up scraps of patterned paper in a grid design with Ronda Palazzari. Today's Scrapbook Soup is stocked with new ingredients.
Meeting of Art and Craft
25:51
Join us as we mix art, craft and scrapbook for a delicious result. Scrapbook meets art and craft as we write on gesso, learn a technique for making decorative tissue tape with Sara Naumann, and embellish our way to a great frame using a hoop with Vicki O'Dell.
It's All in the Details
24:51
It's the little things that count – from the tiniest embellishment to the handwritten letter - it's all in the details today on Scrapbook Soup. Create simple cut out graphic cards, learn about packing tape photo transfer with Sara Naumann, and backgrounds almost as pretty as the picture in a prom layout with Stacey Caron– today on Scrapbook Soup.
Different Materials
25:42
New materials are the spice to your scrapbook soup. Every dish needs a little dash of pepper to add some flavor. It'sthe same with scrapbooking - bland is not very interesting. Fill in the spaces of your letters with paper on the "attitudes in generosity" page, build on a core to add dimension with Stacey Caron for a cherished layout, and projects featuring paper, acetate and glass from Sara Naumann; a spicy mix today on Scrapbook Soup.
Keeping Up
25:51
Make technology your friend. It's hard to keep up with each and every new trend but you can find your favorites and use them to your advantage. 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.
Paint Your Way
25:51
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".
Casual
25:51
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.
Mini Books
25:45
Good things come in small packages. Create a mini book from a 3D kaleidoscope with Joe Rotella, a mini journal with Jenny Barnett Rohrs, and 3D sculptured surface for your journal with Kim Hupke. All today on Scrapbook Soup.
Alphabet Soup
25:47
It's always fun to test out new techniques possibly using some of your favorite supplies in a new way. Today's menu features alphabet soup. Make a best friend's page featuring watercolors. Use glue as paint to create a unique resist and stencil and an organizer from Vicki O'Dell that reflects your scrapbook style.

Do I have to be a Member of Craftsy to purchase a Class?
No you don’t. While Premium Members will receive regular offers for special deals on Craftsy content, Classes are not reserved exclusively for Members.

How does the Class Q&A Resource benefit work?
Once you purchase any Class, within the Class viewing page, you’ll have access to post a question, comment or tip in the Class Discussions.

Are there any system requirements to view the Class video content?
Your Class video content is best when viewed on a computer manufactured in the past couple of years with a good broadband Internet connection (not dialup).
