COUPON : etd_july_a5d
AMOUNT : 20% off
EXPIRATION : end of July

Awesome ? YESSSSSSS :D

So just sit back and enjoy the interview ;)

Please tell us a bit about yourself
My name is Erika, I am 33 years old, I have one son Tim / 4 years / and I come from Slovakia. I live in the capital city of Czech republic Prague.

What is a typical day like for you ?
My typical day is : Every morning I take my son to nursery school, then I come home, cook something, clean up and sit on the computer and start to work. In the afternoon we usually go outside and at night when all go sleep I once again sit at the computer and I’m usually here until 1:00 – 2:00 morning lol. Ordinary boring day.

How did you get into designing ?
I discovered scrap on a forum for moms 5 years ago. I started scrap with freebies, and then I started to create my own freebies. I’ve always wanted sell my kits and my dream was fulfilled. Now I sell my products at the best shop under the sun ;)

How long does it take for you to design a kit ?
Usually if I have an idea, material, and so, so one kit lasts about one week or longer.

What inspires you ?
I am inspire with everything, nature, movies, songs, something happens during the day or I see on TV. Really everything.

Do you have a specific style ?
My style is mostly natural but I love to draw too. Therefore I always try combine these two styles together. I think I have always mix styles in one kit and I love this so much.

Do you have a vision of what a kit will look like when you start it ?
Sometimes I have perfect vision about my kit and sometimes I start with name only without any idea of what it will look like !

Who are your scrapping/designing heros ?
Hmm, this is very difficult question…because I love a many girls from my creative team for example Véro, Dolce Vita or Serena but there are so many scrappers I love and admire !

What is your favorite NSBR thing to do ?
I like to bake cakes, I love to read books, photograph, drinking coffee and laze and latest mania is Zumba dance.

What did you want to be when you grew up ?
Oh honestly? I don’t remember

And no After 5 interview would be complete without this question…What is your favorite after hours drink ?
My total favorite drink is red wine, preferably Chianti or Cabernet Sauvignon I can not imagine an evening without a glass of red wine. Not, I’m really not an alcoholic lol

And did you enjoyed reading it as much as I did ?!! Now on to the kits Erika
chose for this spotlight. She has two favorites kits ”From my Window“ and “Sea Breeze
You can check out her store here and her gorgeous gallery here

Without further ado, here are those two wonders :
