Is scrapbooking dead?

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

Oh, you know I have some thoughts on this. And tomorrow – Wednesday – I will be in Salt Lake City in the KSL studio as we are having a LIVE discussion about the question. If you live in Utah, tune in to watch Studio 5 tomorrow. We’re LIVE at 11 am on KSL 5. Out of staters can stream it live on this website as well. And of course it will be on the Studio 5 website after the show. I’ll add a link at the bottom of this post as soon as I’m able to get around to that.

I’m honored that the producers invited me to join several others, each with our own take, to forecast into the future for real solutions on memory-keeping and of course offer some suggestions that will inspire those who want to do something with their pictures NOW. Other guests include my dear friend Stacy Julian, the ever-adorable Rhonna Farrer, and even Michael Katchen from 1000 Memories. It’s going to be a fun hour!

Check out this 30-second clip about the show on YouTube.

So I’m asking you — What are YOUR thoughts on this topic? Is scrapbooking dead? Why or why not?

Hey guys. It’s Friday and I’m back from our whirlwind adventure in Utah, which included Studio 5. Missed it? No problem. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can watch the show and here are the links to the various segments of that program:

Documenting the Everyday: Project Life. This was my segment to chat about how people can simplify the process of scrapbooking with the Project Life system.

Three Principles of Simply Story-telling. Stacy shares her passion and her tips for the story-telling part of memory-keeping.

Fancy Phone Photo Embellishments. Rhonna’s segment and she’s all about the digital age and having fun with memory-keeping in this context.

Empty a Shoebox of Photos. Michael from 1000 Memories shares all about the coolest new way to digitize old photos with the Shoebox app.

Huge shout-out to the producers and staff at KSL who really did a great job pulling together a terrific show on a topic that is so important – and fun!
