krisblues Review & Giveaway

Art while not a necessity in life is of utmost importance.  Art can be uplifting, inspiring, relaxing, or exhilarating.  There is no wonder why we as a race gravitate towards art.  Kristiana is no exception.  She creates absolutely gorgeous, cheerful, and uplifting pieces to brighten your space.

While searching through Etsy one day I came across Kristiana’s shop krisblues.  I fell in love with her cheerful, memorable characters.

magnoliatreeThe colours used in Kristiana’s work are absolutely gorgeous.  Warm and inviting are the first adjectives that come to mind when I’m trying to describe her work.

One of my favourite prints is definitely “It’s Going to be a Good Day”.  What a great inspirational phrase and photo to wake up to every morning.

Tala’s favourite print isn’t a surprise for this little Mommy in training.  She adores everything to do with babies.  So Baby Bird is the perfect choice for her.
