Last week I had the pleasure of traveling to Ohio to take part in the taping of the upcoming new season of Scrapbook Soup that starts airing in July on PBS stations around the country.
Prepping for a tv segment is nerve wracking and time consuming, but ultimately a lot of fun! (Although I did look a little ridiculous with two suitcases for a one-night hotel stay….)
Here’s a peek inside the studio at what goes on!
The set looks like a small intimate space on TV…but it’s in the middle of a huge studio!
This is a view from a similar angle to what the host and guest see. The lights in your face make it easy to forget you’re in a huge studio since they blind you and you can’t see past them really. Here, Rachel Carlson (left) is working with host Julie McGuffee and producer Kathie Stull to set up one of her segments for the taping.
You can see the segments that Julie and I taped together on the new season of Scrapbook Soup that will start airing in July! (Yes, that’s my iPad on the table…curious to find out what I used it for? Tune in!)
If you missed season 1 of Scrapbook Soup – or want to watch it again, you’re in luck! I have a DVD set of the 13 episodes of season 1 of Scrapbook Soup, hosted by Julie McGuffee and Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, to give away to one lucky Scrapbook Update reader!
You can also view Scrapbook Soup episodes on the show’s website, one episode per week! A new episode goes up each Friday!

This is so exciting! I remember Julie from another scrapbooking show that was on a few years back. And now, Nancy will be on too. Can’t wait to see it!

What rock have I been under that I didn’t know about this? Off to check it out – thanks for the chance!
Okay, maybe I wasn’t under a rock – it’s not listed on the alphabetical schedule for my station (and I’m in Ohio!). I’ll try back closer to July and see if they add it but in the meantime I can watch online!
Can’t wait to watch the new show, and to see this episode in particular. Then we’ll know what the iPad was for!!
I am gonna have to check out this show.
Yay! I can see you again! I was a loyal watcher of the other show and then one day it was gone. Now we get to see you crafty two again! Thanks for the chance. Looking forward to watching. Cheryl.
This would be awesome to win, since I can’t get it on my local PBS Stations. Thanks for the chance.
Very cool! I’ve never even heard of this show and I’m an avid PBS watcher. Will have to check it out!
Since I don’t have cable I would love to win this! Looks like you had a great time.
This sounds like a show I will have to watch for. Thanks for a chance to win previous episodes and information to watch the new ones !
We watch PBS all the time but I have missed this show, would love to win!
I can’t wait to see your segment!
I’m new to all this papercrafting stuff, and would love to win the DVD. I need all the help I can get…LOL…
I would love to win! Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is great and I’d like to see the other Julie too. Congrats to you too, Nancy, on appearing on a few episodes of Scrapbook Soup.
I would love to win the DVD it sounds great. I will make sure I watch all the new ones.
This is very exciting – loved the pictures of the studio…I have never heard of Scrapbook Soup before and I’d love to win the videos!
I’ve love to win. I didn’t know about this show and look forward to watching online!
Congrats, Nancy, on your TV gig! I’d never seen this show before until Julie Fei-Fan Balzer linked to the SS site where the current week’s episode can be viewed. Now I need to see if I can DVR it!
How exciting! It will be one that I loof for on their lineup. Would love to wee last years!
What a great prize. I’ve been frustrated because my local PBS stations have not been airing the new season of Scrapbook Soup. I was trying to catch it online on Saturdays, but ended up need to be away from my computer at the time it was available most of the time. Thanks for a chance to win!
Wow it sounds really cool! Thanks for the giveaway!
So excited another scrapbook show will be on for me to watch. I cannot get enough of this hobby I am so passionate about, thank you.
I sure hope I am able to see these! Thank you so much for the chance!!
It sounds like this program would be more successful if more scrapbookers knew about it and if it was available on more PBS stations. Right now my local PBS station is not carrying it and I would love to see it.
Hadn’t ever heard of the show before, would love to see it. Thanks Nancy!
Am going to the web-site to watch 1st season. Looking forward to new season.
Hopefully I can win, as my Public televisions stations don’t carry the show. : <
Thanks for the web site address!
I used to always watch Scrapbook Memories, but Scrapbook Soup isn’t carried in my area. I’d love to see season one!
How exciting! I can’t wait to see you Nancy!
I’d love to see it and can’t wait to see what you taped.
I love to find new and useful information about scrapbooking, so thanks for the heads up on this show. ps. i like the new look of the website.
I cant wait. I also use to watch the other show.. So I look forward to watching this…
love this show-I have been watching the reruns on their website! thanks for the chance to win
Oooh, that sounds wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win!
Yeay! I can’t wait till it starts! I love Julie McGuffee! Thanks for the chance to win.
Well, I have to admit that I did miss watching….so thanks for the chance to win. I am a huge fan of Julie’s and would love to be able to watch her on DVD.
How exciting to be on TV?!? Thanks for the info about the show. Can’t wait to check it out!
Julie is my Fav… Can’t get enough! Looks like you had a great time!
What a treat to have the first season on DVD. Thanks for the chance to win.
How fun! Thanks for an inside view.
I missed it on TV. Definitely love to watch it!
I love Scrapbook Soup!
I am so glad that the episodes are online! What a neat experience! Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow, Nancy this sounds like tons of fun!! ‘So glad that you are a part of it!!
Thanks so much for the chance to win these goodies!!
I have neither cable nor sat dish so I have no idea when this show is on. I have the worst rabbit ears in the universe (or whatever that weird thing is called to pick up signals). I don’t know if my local PBS even carries this because I simply can’t pull in the signal. I may have to thump my hubby to put the crazy thing on the outside of the house instead. Social security doesn’t stretch for tv services these days. Maybe the episodes are online? Either way, you look great! Now send some heat up this way from Florida because Michigan is cold and sucky this week.
Wow the show doesn’t come on in my part of the country, a DVD set would be awesome!

Like most of your other commenters, I too never heard of “Scrapbook Soup” and I’m off to track it down, if not on TV, then online. I do hope it’s on my local PBS, as hubby will be lulled into thinking it’s a “legit” program (only HIS are on PBS … mine are usually only on HSN or QVC, lol). A DVD compendium would be fabby …. if I’m not lucky enough to win, is it available for sale somewhere? Surely a PBS station will offer it as a fundraiser?! Please?
Fondly,

I would love to see the episodes! I canʻt find it here in Hawaii!
I hope something local carries this. I love Julie’s layout from the episode listed today!
I would love to win the CD’s. First I have heard of this series, will have to see if I can find out when and on what channel in my area!
Love the “Behind the Scenes” shots. I love how the paint only goes so high in the first shot and in the last – same room- you think you’re in someone’s craft room!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
