Episode 206: Using Other People's Words In Your Story

Crafty Ass Female

Topics for our show today include:

• Why do we think it matters when we include other people’s words in our scrapbooks?
• How we incorporate words from people into our lives.
• How to get people to get used to the idea of using words in their art.
• How to incorporate current events into your scrapbooking
• How song lyrics and lyrics can help you tell your story.
• Bringing in other people’s perspectives can help when you don’t know what to say, but also add important context.
