Meet the Designer?|?I am happy to introduce you to a wonderful digital designer ? Krista Sahlin. Krista is the designer behind Sahlin Studio. I have admired Krista?s work for a while now, and I hope you enjoy getting to know her too!
Krista?s Life & Scrapbooking History?|?Krista lives in Minnesota with her husband and two children. Her husband is an ?IT guy? ? which really helps in her line of work as a digital designer. Her children are ?wonderful and rambunctious kiddos? and you can almost feel her smile as she describes them. Krista considers herself ??an avid memory keeper? and has combined her love of digital scrapbooking with her newer love of designing. She loves designing and finds it ?incredibly surreal and such an honor that people use my designs to help capture their most treasured of memories.?
Krista started paper scrapbooking in high school and discovered digital scrapbooking over five years ago in 2007. After a family trip to Walt Disney World, she discovered ?amazing digi designs in the digital scrapbooking industry and was hooked.? After a year, she realized that she had a lot of photos piling up because she ?was waiting for that ?perfect? kit. So? I decided to try my hand at designing papers and elements to fit what I was looking for? the rest is history.?
Lined Journal Cards
Krista?s Style & Inspiration?|?Krista is very inspired by her own family photos. When she finds that stacks of photos start to gather on her hard drive, she creates designs to help her scrap those memories. After her family photos, she is also very inspired by color. She says, ?practically anywhere and everywhere there is color. It could be in a fabric or a pattern on a couch pillow, from my kid?s artwork to a magazine ad or an ad on a box. I find there is so much inspiration everywhere, and sometimes in the most unusual of places.?
Her design style is a mix of vintage and traditional. As she describes it, ?from realistic paper scraps to metal finds?an eclectic mix of these trinkets makes the pages so unique and beautiful.?
My Happiness Kit
