Without further ado let\u2019s dive into this month\u2019s Sweet Talk interview with our amazing Sugarbabe: Sherly<\/strong><\/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 Sherly, known as nietis around the digiland. I am going to be 40 this year, though I am so much not feeling the age. I live in Beijing – China, since 2011, with my university-sweetheart husband, Lan. We met when we were both postgraduate students in Liverpool – United Kingdom, back in 2005. We got married in Bali in 2007, where I spent most of my time growing up until I was 15. We have been married for 16 years and are blessed with 2 children, Michael (11) and Michelle (3), who are 8 years apart.<\/strong>
\nI found digital scrapbooking through my friend’s blog in 2008, 1 year after we got married, while we were both pursuing PhD in Liverpool. I started by collecting freebies and playing around with Photoshop CS. I went around different forums for quite some time, before finally becoming active in SSD. Now, I am mostly SSD exclusive and I am loving it.\u00a0\"\"<\/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?\u00a0patterned paper(s), flowers, and greeneries.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. What is your scrapping style?\u00a0I’d say I have a pretty random style, as I love to explore different styles, but, I am quite often scrapping clusters-heavy pages.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. What is your favorite thing to snack on when scrapping?\u00a0I don’t snack, but I do love sipping a cup of coffee, while scrapping.<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. How do you create so many pages during big events?\u00a0Umm… by abandoning all the household chores I am supposed to do?\u00a0\"\"\u00a0Kidding. Mostly I get inspired by the amazing templates and gorgeous collections the designers created.<\/b><\/li>\n
  5. As a Babe, do you still have challenges or struggles with scrapping?\u00a0Of course. There are times when mojo or time are just not on my side, but there are styles or prompts that are hard for me to do. For example, scrapping a list is so hard for me to do, I’d choose not to do it, if I can.<\/b><\/li>\n
  6. What hobbies do you have besides scrapbooking?\u00a0Watching Korean or Chinese dramas, reading manga.<\/b><\/li>\n
  7. What techniques, trends, or products are inspiring you right now?\u00a0I have been intrigued in scrapping with products with lots of stickers in it, such as Traci Reed’s and Kris Isaac’s. They are way out of my usual style, but I am loving the opportunity to try to make a pretty sticker clusters.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
