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!

About Nancy Nally
I love your behind the scenes pictures of Scrapbook Soup. I will definitely look forward to seeing you on the air (if not sooner, wink!) with Julie. I miss her and Beth’s show that used to air here on Sunday a.m. before church.
Hi I went to check out the scrapbook soup when I saw it mentioned by you earlier. Even though you taped in Cleveland, it doesn’t look like it is going to be aired here in the Detroitvarea at least according to the site as of now. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes photos. How fun for you and can’t wait to see you and what you will do with the IPad

Sounds like a fun series. Will definitely check out the website for time slot info. Thanks for keeping us updated
and for the DVD op.
I did not know this show existed until now. It would be great to see if they show in my area (Detroit). Thanks for the chance to win previous year!
This is the first time I heard of this show. I would love to win the set of CD’s. I miss all the scrapbook and craft shows that were on TV. Thanks for the chance to win the set.
It will be great to see a scrapbooking show again! Love the shots of the set.
This is the first I have heard of your show! I can’t wait for July to actually see it. I hope it is aired in my location. I would love to win the DVD set of the first season.
Thanks for the giveaway! We don’t get the show in my area and I’ve known about it for quite some time. It would be great to have all the episodes.
Thank you so much for telling us about this program. This is awesome . . . I not only want this DVD . . . I NEED it! Yesterday!!
I dont get the show in my area so I would love to win.
I wasn’t aware of this series and would love to win the past version, and will check in on the new one. Thanks for the chance and the heads up.
I found Scrapbook Memories (now Scrapbook Soup) on TV a few weeks ago and started DVRing it. It is very inspirational! Thanks for the chance to win Nancy! I’m looking forward to the new season.
I watched one of these segments last week! They are awesome! Would love to win the DVD. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Love to see this show….wasn’t aware of it before, but now that I know I will definitely check it out! Thanks…
I hope this will be aired on my local PBS station…it looks like such a fun show! I am glad we can catch episodes online anyway. Thanks for the heads up and the chance to win.
Wow…how great would it be to win this set! I have heard brief mention of Scrapbook Soup, but didn’t know where to watch it! I would love to “catch up”!

I am super interested in seeing this show! Somehow I missed them when they aired! Love to have a look! Thanks
I have heard about this show but had no clue where to watch it. Thanks for the chance to win the DVD. I love Julie’s stuff. I read her blog and she seems like such fun. It is really cool to see behind the scenes and you are looking really good, Nancy.
Wow – I’ve never heard of Scrapbook Soup until your previous post last week. I’ll have to go find it! It would be awesome to win the first season. Thanks, Nancy!
Terrific Opportunity for you to “star” once again, Thanks so much for showing us “behind the scenes” of these awesome shows.
Alas, PB’s in my area (major metro Phila and NYC!!!!!) did not opt in on getting the series but I will start viewing and saving the ones I get from the link you provided.
I would absolutely love winning a set of the DVD’s showcasing our hobby.
love the chance to win!
I was just investigating Scrapbook Soup yesterday to see if they air in my area (Dallas, TX), but they don’t at this time. It would be great to view all previous shows online. It would be better if you could air in Dallas, TX. Who do I need to bug?
Thank you for listening to my whinning.
I hope it airs in my area. If it doesn’t will it be available to view online, like some TV shows are. I would love to win the DVD’s. Are they available for sale somewhere, if I don’t win. I need a Plan B on both points. LOL
Reread the article and found the answers….guess I was too excited at the prospect. I am delighted and looking forward to it…going to put it on my calendar right now!
I would love to win the CD set since the show doesn’t air in my area. Thanks for sharing your experience with taping the show with us . It’s fun to see how much different it really is from what we see on tv.
How exciting for you to be a guest on a TV show about Scrapbooking!
I shall have to check the PBS listing for this show in the future.
In the meantime I hope I win the DVD set.
Thanks so much!
Jill
I’m looking forward to your episodes on Scrapbook Soup, and am so glad that you gave us the link to go back and check out last season. I had never heard of it before, and it’s always great to find out about new shows like this, since TV doesn’t offer as much crafty programming as they used to. So thanks for the info as well as the chance to win!
Would love to see the DVD’s. This is the first I have heard of this series. Will have to check our PBS schedule for July.
Never heard of this show. I will have to check out the website and see it. Thanks for a chance to win the DVD collection though.
Looks like fun, Nancy. Thanks for the chance to win!
Would love to win this! I used to watch (record and watch) the old show, all the time. I can’t wait to see it again.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am so excited to watch this! And it would be even better to win the DVD- thanks for the chance!
This the first I’ve heard of the series. Will definitely have to check it out! Thanks for the heads-up and a chance to win the 1st season dvd set!
I’ve never heard of this show, but it sounds like fun! Will definitely watch for it in July…hope I can get it here. I would love to win the DVD of the past series……thank you for offering it. Fingers crossed!
I would love this set of DVD’s. Unfortunately, this series doesn’t view in my area, but I’ll be sure to catch them online.
I love Scrapbook Soup and have re-watched the episodes when they come on my PBS station. Julie and Julie and so creative and the guests they have on really do such fun projects. I can’t wait to see what you will be doing on the show, Nancy!
that looks like so much fun!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win Nancy! I have tried to find this show on our PBS station, but it doesn’t show up. Hopefully next season it will!
I used to watch Scrapbook Memories all the time (even DVR’d it) but haven’t been able to find Scarpbook Soup. Would love to have the DVD’s. Thanks!
I am so excited to see Scrapbook Soup! I loved watching the old scrapbook show on TV and really missed it when it went off the air.
I missed the first season but will look for the second coming up.
I would love to win this! My local PBS station doesn’t seem to carry the show, but I will look for it online and in July
I have never heard of scrapbook Soup. I would like to know more about it.
This is so wonderful to see you involved with this! Would love to hear the back story on how you ended up on the show! Cannot get the show here and would love the DVDs. So exciting!
Would love to win the DVD’s…I don’t think it airs in my area.
I would love to win this set of CD’s. I have not heard of the show but can’t wait to watch it online. How wonderful a day it would be!
I’m looking forward to seeing many more episodes of Scrapbook Soup! Thank you for the “behind the scenes” look – it’s got to be more difficult than one would think – doing a segment. Wish my local stations would pick up this series!
This would be WONDERFUL to win since my PBS doesn’t carry it. Thanks so much for the BTS. You are trying to rival Mario!
Would love to win, no airing in my area either. Sounds like a great show!
I’d love to win the CD of Scrapbook Soup. St Louis’ PBS station doesn’t air it either.
This show doesn’t air by me so I would love to win the DVD’s. I hoping that they will start to air the series in July.
