#TGIF79 Our First Ever Designer Spotlight! Krista Frattin

Hello!!!

Welcome back to another awesome TGIF Challenge!!! I am super excited about our new challenge. We are trying something new for our last challenge of the month and that is to feature one of our own designers to be inspired by. This month it is the lovely and talented, Krista Frattin

I have only had the pleasure of meeting Krista once in person a few years ago, and I must tell you, she is stunningly beautiful, very kind, smart and FUNNY. I have loved getting to know her through social media groups the last few years, and have come to know not only a gifted artist, but a caring, loving lady who seems to be just an outstanding mom, wife and friend. It was very easy to be inspired by her artwork, as I LOVE her style!

(make sure you click on her photo above to go to our main challenge site to see what the other designers created and so you can play along!)

What usually stands out to me with Krista's style is CLEAN. The girl ROCKS a gorgeous, clean, simple, and understated elegance in her projects. I am often inspired by her use of Whisper White, Smoky Slate and a mix of Soft Subtles. Another thing that she's done quite a bit that I love is her "ribbon threads" With certain ribbons, if you carefully cut along one of the edges of the length of the ribbon, you can get it to unravel into long threads. This is the Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon. It's so soft and fluffy!!!

I think I captured a little bit of Krista in my card today, and I hope I did her proud. Make sure you check out the TGIF blog for more ideas and a link to Krista's blog so that you can be inspired by her creativity as well!

I just want to let you know that I appreciate your visits to my blog and I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator if you currently don't have one. If you would like to place an order with me this month and use this Hostess Code HXDKGE4T, I will be sending you a VERY special thank you card and gift!!!
