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

\n

Hello!\u00a0 I\u2019m Evelyn Stevenson.\u00a0 My amazing husband, Tod, and I will be celebrating our 45th anniversary on June 9th.\u00a0 We have three wonderful children and seven awesome grandchildren.\u00a0 I am a retired lower elementary school teacher with 33 years of teaching.\u00a0 I teach elementary Sunday school at our church.\u00a0 We have two fur babies and love them so much we usually take them when we go camping in our retro camper, Betsy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first started digital scrapbooking around 2007 using Craft Artist.\u00a0 I was involved on their site \u201cDaisy Trail\u201d.\u00a0 I retired in 2020 from teaching.\u00a0 During COVID, I had time to scrap more and found out that a lot of scrappers where using Photoshop Elements. I bought PSE and soon was asked to join my first CT team.\u00a0 I have been blessed to work with such amazing designers and sure love SSD!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
