Hi friends!  Did y’all see my previous post?  You know the one where I shared the my new beautiful bunting cards that Krystina from Lollipops CUSTOM made for me?  Well, as promised I’m back with her feature + a super fun giveaway!  Krystina works her magic with paper like none other, each and every card that she made for me was perfection.  She helped me dream up a design that was perfect for me and it even came in a super cute box, score!  Her shop is full cute, whimsical, premade cards as well, my fave being the elephant balloon notes in a tin lunch box.  And not to mention, she has a rad blog where she posts crafts, inspirations, and my favorite, her fashion!  đŸ™‚  So what are you waiting for, go check her out!  Or read on to get to know her a little bit better…

{MEET KRYSTINA}

1) Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started making cards?
i started scrapbooking 12 years ago and i learned how much i love paper and design. i made elaborate invitations for my children’s birthday parties. later i decided to begin making invitations, announcements and cards as a fun business. i can’t stop loving paper i am pretty addicted so it’s a win/win.

2) Where do you draw inspiration from?
i see something i like; color or typography or a style and i morph it into a card design. i recently was inspired by a birdcage, and also an animal wallet design!

3) If you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
i have always wanted to go to italy. my husband (the surfer guy) is italian. it seems like such a romantic, inspiring, delicious country. i would love to spend a month there, but i recently heard how as a boy William Hearst went on a discovery tour of Europe for a year. i would love to take my children on a discovery tour! not be in a rush and really get to take it all in. the art, the architecture, the rich history. *sigh*.

4) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
mint and chip. always has been, always will be đŸ˜‰ my first job was at baskin & robbins, my 10 minute breaks were always with a scoop of ice cream. yum.

    Great interview and great giveaway- I think this about sums me up too- I love the muah cards- I think that alliteration is funny.
