Without further ado let\u2019s dive into this month\u2019s Sweet Talk interview with our amazing Sugarbabe: Vanessa<\/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

Vanessa (nesser1981), I’m 42, live in Michigan, married to DH (Sean) for almost 20 years, we met way back in 2000 when we were both stationed in Japan. We have three kids, Keira is 18, and two boys, Cooper is almost 16 and Harper is 11. I’m originally from a tiny town on the gulf coast of Florida, Horseshoe Beach. In the summer of 2006, when Keira was just starting daycare, they wanted photos to display in class, I’d been playing around for the last year with signatures in a mom forum, and I decided to try some of the Shabby Princess freebies to create a page to display, I had an 8×10 printed at Walmart and I was hooked. Nearly 18 years later and I’m still just as in love as I was back then. I came to SSD when the store first opened and joined the forums as soon as they were opened to the public.<\/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?\u00a0A template or sketch at the very least, flowers, photos.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. What is your scrapping style?\u00a0Clean and classic<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. What is your favorite thing to snack on when scrapping? N<\/strong>othing<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. How do you create so many pages during big events?\u00a0I just look for the kits that I’m dying to use and then hope I have some photos that will work.<\/b><\/li>\n
  5. As a Babe, do you still have challenges or struggles with scrapping?\u00a0Yes, absolutely, especially because I came on as a social media babe and my role has changed over the years, but I’m not as strong of a scrapper as all the other babes. I’ve been trying to revitalize the way I document events that happen every year, so I keep the burn out away.<\/b><\/li>\n
  6. What hobbies do you have besides scrapbooking?\u00a0I crochet and we are big into hobby board games, if I have free time and I’m not scrapping, we’re playing a game.<\/b><\/li>\n
  7. What techniques, trends, or products are inspiring you right now?\u00a0Goodness, this one is hard, because I’m not great about following trends, but I love unique alphas, or different ideas for titles. I also love the pocket layouts and have been using them more and more lately.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
