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

\n

My name is Miranda Barten, I live in the south of the Netherlands, close to the beach, with my husband and 2 adult children. We have 2 Bernese Mountaindogs. I work as a safetymanager in petrochemical industries for a Portugese company in Belgium. Few times in the week I work in the field, the rest of the time I work from home. My hobbies: photography, reading, digiscrap, gardening. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

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

    \n
  1. Give us [3] must haves for the layouts you create? Flowers, ribbons, buttons<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. When is your prime scrapping time? Mornings, I first start up some daily tasks for my work and then I start a layout. During the day I work and scrap at the same time. I hardly scrap in the evenings, I am too tired in the evenings.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What is your favorite thing to snack on when scrapping? No snacks but my latte\u2019s\u2026I can drink Latte (with syrup\u2019s) all day\u2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Go to your gallery, what is the date and title of your very first layout here at SSD? My very first layout was dated February 27th, 2016<\/a>. I was in the CT of Cornelia Designs at that time, and right after that, I started in Blagovesta\u2019s team.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Dig in your stash and show (or tell) us a kit\/product from your favorite designer here at SSD and why? I love so many kits but \u2018Mrs. Claus Bakery<\/a>\u2019 from Kristin Cronin-Barrow is one of my favorites. I love the colors, the baking elements and everything from this kit.<\/strong>
