Hey everyone I\u2019m excited to bring you one of our blog feature, Sweet Talk, which sheds some light on YOU. Our amazing community members. Once a month we will indulge in some \u201csweet talk\u201d and have some fun getting to know you all a little bit better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone tells you a piece of their life, they\u2019re giving you a gift.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Patrick Rothfuss<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ll start off with an ice breaker and show off some gorgeous pages then we\u2019ll end the interview with a lightning round of 15 questions to learn some fun, interesting and cool things about a different member of the sweetest spot in town!<\/p>\n

This month I\u2019m excited to introduce: Kayla, (keepscrappin in the forum)<\/p>\n

How you came to find digital scrapbooking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla says: “My friend, Amy, introduced me to digi scrappin back in 2006 around the time my youngest was born. I had been a paper scrapper for a decade or more before and was skeptical about scrappin digitally. I was one of those paper scrappers who added in all the 3D elements, buttons, flowers, brads, etc so my pages were thick… LOL I was worried about my layouts looking flat, but once I figured out shadows, I was hooked and haven’t looked back!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What\u2019s your day job, where you live, pets, kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kayla says: “I’m a SAHM – you might think that means stay at home mom to our 5 kids (3 biological, 2 in-laws) and a grandpuppy, but hubby would beg to differ. He says for me SAHM means Scrap At Home Mom, because I’m always scrappin. Hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Besides, I’m just livin up to my username, keepscrappin… LOL!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really enjoyed looking through her gallery and she does full page photos so well. I saw this beauty and was just wowed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The full page photo here with the close up on the loving wrapped hug after the big moment is both stunning and evokes all of the emotion. I adore the well done title cluster which just encapsulates\u00a0the moment and the final answer YES!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also asked Kayla about her favorite pages from her own gallery here and this is what she shared:<\/p>\n

\n
“I love BIG photos and templates. This layout combines my love of both and it’s full of fun!<\/strong><\/em>“<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“Another BIG photo layout, but what I love about this layout most is the cascading cluster. I used to be cluster-challenged but not anymore. I learned how to cluster from the best, my friend, Cheryl.”<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“Last is this strawberry layout. Who doesn’t love strawberries… YUM! As much as I love to pile it onto my layouts, there’s times when I love a more clean and simple design. This one gives me both. I was able to pile it on for the cluster, but the c&s design and minimal colors gives the viewer breathing room… swoon!”<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I can always find something drool worthy while I\u2019m in her gallery<\/strong><\/a> here at SSD. But this interview isn\u2019t all about her gorgeous creations before we go let\u2019s learn some more about Kayla. I gave her a list of questions to choose from and asked her to answer any 15 of her choice.<\/div>\n

1. What\u2019s your favorite way to spend a day off?<\/strong>
\nI like to enjoy the 6 Ss – Sleepin in, Scrappin, Snacks, Shows, Solitude and Silence. I love it when I have the house to myself and can do whatever I want without any interruptions or judgement.<\/p>\n

2. Are you an introvert or extrovert?<\/strong>
\nI think a little of both depending on the situation. Extrovert in small groups and introvert in large crowds.<\/p>\n

3. What\u2019s your favorite pizza topping?<\/strong>
\nPepperoni – lots and lots of pepperoni<\/p>\n

4. Are you a binge watcher? What\u2019s the last show you binged?<\/strong>
\nI’m definitely a binge watcher. I drive my family nuts because I can binge for hours on end. The MacGyver from the 80s. I love science and how he can make things out of nothing to save the day!<\/p>\n

5. Back, Stomach, Side\u2026.what\u2019s your sleeping position?<\/strong>
\nAll of the above… whatever feels best at the time throughout the night.<\/p>\n

6. What\u2019s your guilty pleasure?<\/strong>
\nI like to take bubble baths in my jetted tub while binge watching shows and having a Symphony bar.
\n\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. What color dominates your closest? Is it the same for your home d\u00e9cor?<\/strong>
\nBlack and white dominate my closest and yes, it’s the same for my home decor, but with a few pops of color. Sometimes red, teal or blue.<\/p>\n

8. What pop culture trend irks your nerves?<\/strong>
\nCalling people Karen – it’s so rude! I know lots of Karen’s who are wonderful ladies. Just do your job people and she won’t need to speak with your manager… LOL<\/p>\n

9. Is there a word that you hate when people mispronounce it?<\/strong>
\nYes, it’s hundred! Not hun-NERD! It’s hun-dred! Everytime someone says hun-nerd, I kringe like when someone scrapes their nails on a chalkboard. LOL<\/p>\n

10. What\u2019s your favorite board game?<\/strong>
\nI like any board or card game my family will play with me. Some that come to mind are: Rummikub, Quixx, Sequence, Trouble, Settlers of Catan, and Five Crowns.<\/p>\n

11. Choose a fictional character to be your best friend, who is it?<\/strong>
\nSamantha from Bewitched. She could wiggle her nose to get all my chores done and dinner made, so we could hang out, scrap and binge watch shows all day.<\/p>\n

12. Everyone loves it, but you just don\u2019t get the appeal\u2026what is it?<\/strong>
\nThe Office. I can’t stand it, but my hubby loves it. I have to leave the room when he’s watching it. I just don’t get the appeal. I tell him ‘Dumb is not funny, it’s just DUMB!” LOL<\/p>\n

13. Share a pet peeve with us?<\/strong>
\nWhen someone leaves an empty toilet paper roll on the rack. Apparently it’s too hard to reach into the cabinet and put a new one on.<\/p>\n

14. What is your go-to app for wasting time?<\/strong>
\n1010 and solitaire – depends on the mood I’m in.<\/p>\n

15. Are you cooking at home or picking up to-go?<\/strong>
\nWith food prices so high, I’ve been cooking at home more and more. I don’t enjoy cooking, but I’m a good cook, so I’m putting my instant pot and air fryer to good use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s order pizza and just enjoy her 6 S’s of life. lol \ud83d\ude09 I enjoyed learning more about her and I hope that you all did too.
