Video Description:

In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Lisa and Nicole are diving into one of the biggest struggles scrapbookers face. What do you actually scrapbook, and what do you leave out? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many photos, guilty for not documenting everything, or stuck trying to decide what deserves its own layout, this conversation will help you rethink your approach. Nicole and Lisa share how we use Month in Review layouts to simplify memory keeping, manage large volumes of photos, and focus on the moments that matter most without the pressure to capture it all. Whether you’re working through years of printed photos or just trying to keep up with everyday life, this episode will give you a practical and realistic way to scrapbook with more intention and less stress.
