Happy Friday friends! It\u2019s a new day, and we\u2019re debuting a new Featured Designer! As you know, over the past year and a bit, we’ve had all of our designers in the spotlight as our featured designers, so we’ve started fresh with a new series of featured designer FWP products that will center around the letters of the alphabet! Kristin Cronin-Barrow is up next with the letter “T”, and she has\u00a0an amazing kit for us, T is for Transition<\/a>.\u00a0As usual, Kristin has created an absolutely BEAUTIFUL kit that you’ll want to use over and over. Take a look . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I asked Kristin a few questions about this kit and the process she went through to create it. Here’s what she had to say:<\/p>\n

Tell us a little bit about the direction you took for your letter of the alphabet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew that when I was designing the kit I wanted to pick a word that wasn’t too common and I wanted to create a kit in my signature pretty\/floral style. I tend to do a lot of floral kits as well as nature inspired as those are what come easiest to me. I knew I wanted to choose a word where the kit designing came naturally instead of forced which sometimes happens to me.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Did you find it difficult coming up with a concept for your letter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was challenging in the sense that there are a LOT of options with the letter T! Instead of struggling to find a good word my struggle was narrowing it down! I knew I wanted to make a coordinating kit so it took some time for me to figure out exactly what direction I wanted to go.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also asked Kristin a few more questions about herself, her love for this hobby of ours, and some of her favorite layouts or products:<\/p>\n

Your Featured Designer 15 is coming up, what product are you most excited to put on sale?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I released these kits in the spring but I started them last summer. I had this idea in my head for quite some time before that so to say they took awhile to complete is an understatement. I felt really bad for my CT while designing these kits because I kept postponing and postponing. The rainbow kit especially was a struggle for me. I’m not 100% sure why. I do like how they turned out though and the layouts created with both of these kits are truly stunning to me! I love it when layouts with the same kit can look so different from each other.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When you aren\u2019t designing digital treats, what do you spend most of your time doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the last few months I have started listening to audiobooks and am obsessed! I am subscribed to scribd as well as using my library\/libby app. It is so nice to be able to listen to a book while I go for a walk or while I’m working. I’ve always struggled with finding the time to sit down and read so this is helping me do more than one thing at once. I always thought audiobooks weren’t for me but then I realized you can speed them up. Listening to them a little bit faster than the speed they were recorded at makes a HUGE difference for me.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Here are some of my favourite reads so far this year.\u00a0 I have loved so many books that I’ve listened to! I think Where the Crawdads Sing stands out as my favourite, but it’s a tough call. My tastes vary quite a bit and I’m really enjoying exploring genres I have passed on before. Audiobooks are seriously the best!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Show us the last layout you scrapped!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t scrap nearly as often as I want to. I don’t even really take pictures much these days but I have tons of photos I want to scrap. Sometimes it’s a little hard because it makes me sad to see how fast time has gone by and how quickly we’re moving out of that childhood stage in our family.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I scrapped this page with a dip by Erica, Ru, and Bobbie\u2014Let it Be. SUPER old photos!<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you have a contest, call or giveaway that you want to share with our readers? Tell us about it!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I will have my annual guest call coming at the end of August so stay on the lookout for that!<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Babes created some\u00a0gorgeous layouts with T Is for Transition. I was seriously blown away by the wonderful, unique pages the Babes created with this kit! They really show off how amazing Natasha’s kit is,\u00a0and we hope their pages inspire you.<\/p>\n
