In this episode I'm joined by our October 2025 featured artist, April Peebles. April is also a long time Simple Scrapper member, so it was exciting to hear how our community has influenced her process and priorities, particularly in this season of life with adult children. Our conversation includes why she doesn't do digital scrapbooking, the projects that keep her connected to the hobby and, of course, how she makes it all her own.

SYW310 - Embracing Your Creative Path with Katrina Katz
Katrina Katz is a curious, thrifty crafter who loves playing in her notebook. And despite no longer scrapbooking in the traditional sense, she definitely considers herself a memory keeper. In this episode I ask Katrina to share some of her favorite things in the stationery world and take us behind the scenes of her creative practice. Our conversation touches on the importance of openly sharing stories to empower others. This includes Katrina's relatively recent autism diagnosis and how understanding herself better allowed her to truly embrace the ways she loves to create.Links MentionedKatrina on Instagram: @paperpensandcoffeeStudio Ten70 Ko-Fi shopMoments to Enjoy journaling bundleGelli plates (*)STABILO woody (*)S gel by Sharpie (*): Sharpie: GelPaper Mate InkJoy Bright collection (*)posca paint pens (*)003 Blank NotebookArcher & OliveThe Happy PlannerPaper Treat ShopThe Stationery CaféKuboandlucySamantha Dion Baker books (*)Susan Branch books (*)Shawna Clingerman*Affiliate links help to support the work we do, at no additional cost to you.💬 Visit simplescrapper.com/syw310 to comment on this episode.🧐 Get the Focus Finder tool at simplescrapper.com/focus
