In this episode of This Isn’t Just Stickers and Likes, Nicole and Lisa dive deep into the behind-the-scenes reality of running a creative YouTube channel and building a scrapbooking career. We share our personal journeys, from early experiments, design team experiences, and participating in hops, to the grind of filming, editing, and dealing with tech mishaps like lost footage, camera issues, and missing audio. We talk about why instant growth is a myth, how to find your niche, and the value of community and classes in keeping us motivated. Along the way, we reveal our different approaches to editing, teaching, and sharing content, plus how we stay inspired after years in the hobby. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, hybrid creator, or content creator curious about the behind-the-scenes work, this episode gives you an honest look at what it really takes to create, teach, and share online while staying true to yourself.
