Without further ado let\u2019s dive into this month\u2019s Sweet Talk interview with an amazing community member: lizziej<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Welcome to Sweet Talk, give us a short introduction of yourself\/family and how you found digital scrapbooking.<\/p>\n

I am married and have one son. My husband is a retired IT consultant and now works in the school system. Our son graduated from college and works full-time. I work full-time outside the home as a civil litigation paralegal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started out as a paper scrapbooker. I frequented the forums of an online paper scrapbooking store, which is where I was introduced to digital scrapbooking in 2006. It really had me intrigued. Many of the devoted paper scrapbookers called it fake scrapbooking. lol I bought some kits there but soon learned about dedicated digital scrapbooking stores that had higher-quality digital goodies, like SSD, which I found back in 2007 or 2008.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Answer a few fun questions for us.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Give us [3] must haves for the layouts you create?\u00a0Every layout must have: (1) at least a date and preferably journaling; (2) at least three elements; and (3) a title. If you don’t see any of these in some of my layouts, it’s usually because a challenge limited my use.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. When is your prime scrapping time?\u00a0I usually scrap on the weekends.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. What is your favorite thing to snack on when scrapping?\u00a0I try not to snack while I’m scrapping, but when I do, I love to snack on popcorn or tortilla chips.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Go to your gallery, what is the date and title of your very first layout here at SSD?\u00a0My very first layout was actually a desktop layout. I posted it on May 15, 2011, and it is entitled, “Oh Happy Day!” My first actual layout was posted on January 27, 2013, and is entitled, “Blue and Gold Banquet.”<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Dig in your stash and show (or tell) us a kit\/product from your favorite designer here at SSD and why?\u00a0Decisions, decisions! Clever Monkey Graphics? In the Band Bundle. I have used this bundle numerous times, and it is chock full of music digi goodness!
