Season 3: E1: Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors… What Did We Miss?

Lisa and Nicole are back for Season 3 of Hear Me Out! Pass the Scissors after taking the summer off, and they have a lot to catch up on. In this episode, the scrapbook podcast duo shares personal updates from their summer, including changes to their creative businesses, YouTube channels, and everyday lives, before diving into three major topics affecting the scrapbooking and crafting community: the disruption surrounding Notions and its warehouse, changes to Stampin’ Up! and what they could mean for demonstrators, and upcoming YouTube monetization changes in 2027. Lisa and Nicole share what they have learned, offer their opinions, discuss the importance of researching industry news, and give practical tips for creators who are working toward YouTube monetization and the 4,000 watch-hour threshold. Whether you scrapbook, create content, run a creative business, or simply enjoy keeping up with the crafting industry, this Season 3 premiere is a casual catch-up packed with real-life stories, creator conversations, industry news, and plenty of “hear us out” moments.
