It was a definitely a mix of excitement and nerves when I got to Urbanic early one morning to shoot this Trends With Benefits segment. The entire crew was wonderful to work with, and they made the environment completely relaxing, even with all the lights and cameras and people running around my favorite stationery store. This segment will be on TBS today at 1:30pm during The Heartbreak Kid.
Tangible personal expression is having a moment as a result of the digital backlash, and one thing’s for sure – this ain’t your grandma’s scrapbook! It’s more like a mixed-media storybook — one that’s filled with magazine clippings, menus, photos, doodles and text; one that documents your interests in a modern and artistic way, and one that can even be used to live-capture a major life event. Welcome to Scrapbooking, 2.0
I have to say that one of the coolest parts of the shoot was while flipping through the minibooks and scrapbooks, there were ooh’s and ahh’s from some of the men on the crew. Even they were impressed (even if it was mildly) that documenting your memories could be done in a cool fashion. Thanks to everyone at Trends with Benefits and TBS for having me on the show!

Such a cute segment! I love seeing all of your work and books.
Amy,
This is a fabulous video clip! You are GREAT!!!! You are poised and have an amazing camera presence. I love how you promoted the importance of documenting our lives with bits of evidence such as ticket stubs, receipts, business cards, and of course compiling it all in a gorgeous mini-book.
Thanks for being in this fun industry. You really make it come ALIVE!!!
So awesome Amy!!!!
I JUST LOVE IT!! SPREAD THE WORD OF MEMORY KEEPING IN STYLE!!
Great video Amy! Love that some of the male crew members thought your scrapbooks were cool! One of my brothers always oohs and ahhs over my scrapbooks, and it’s a great feeling!
That’s amazing, congratulations!
Love this! I wish I could send it to the young male I overheard when I was at a paper store last week. He said, “Scrapbooking is Pinterest for old people.”
Oh my goodness, I am cracking up right now!
what a cool video!! you should think of having your own scrapbooking how-to show
can i ask where the small graph paper spiral notebook is from? and do you have a photo of the tbs layout you did? it looked really cute!
The notebook is by MMMG and was purchased at a store called Urbanic (where we shot the video). Unfortunately I don’t have a pic of the layout. Thanks!
Amy, the shoot came out adorable! It was so much fun to have you and the TBS crew put this together at the shop.
Wow- so cool! I’m not sure how I missed this before. You did a great job! You’re a natural on TV.
