Meet Karah.
it us down at your desk, what’s it look like? What kind of equipment do you use?
First off, I commend you if you can see through the piles of clutter. Underneath all that I have a rockin’ desktop PC that my techie husband built himself for me. I only use a wacom tablet so no mice here! I also have my massive Epson R1800 printer on here which leaves little room for anything else.
What inspires you?
Clothes. Furniture. Advertisements. Events. Pretty much everything 🙂
How long is it typically take you to create a kit?
FOR-E-VER. Seriously – slowest designer on earth = Karah Fredricks. If I were to do a whole kit, start to finish, on my own (ie: not a collab), the minimum would be probably 2 weeks, 1.5 if I’m really pushing it.
Which is your favorite kit?
It’s really hard to pick – and I think my favorites are really some of my element packs. But I think this one would have to be my current favorite kit:
Do you scrap with your own kits/templates?
All the time! My motto is, if I won’t scrap with it then I won’t make it.
What is your designing soundtrack?
The tv! I always watch tv while I’m designing, and it actually influences the names of my stuff sometimes. 🙂
How did you get started designing?
I started digital scrapbooking and just knew I could make the stuff I was downloading, so I gave it a try! My first few kits were ATROCIOUS (although, not awful for the time) but I just got better and better 🙂
What is one of your best selling kits?
Too Excited to Sleep – a Christmas kit!

You have just won a fabulous wardrobe from any designer you choose, who would that be?
Designer? What’s that? HA. I’m sooo not a trendy person. I’d just say give me a gift card to Kohls and we’ll call it good. 😉
If you could travel back in time, what would you tell yourself 10 years ago?
Stop eating cookies and french bread. You will regret it.
So, your Queen for the Day. What is your first decree?
Naps for everyone!
Name something you couldn’t live without.
Well I think I could LIVE without anything – but what I wouldn’t LIKE to live without – that’s another story. Mushy sentiments aside, I’d have to go with Target. HA!
Is there something you need to get off your chest?
Yes. But if I tell you, I’d have to kill you.
What is your super power?
Eyes in the back of my head. Totally. My kids are amazed by my abilities.
Tea for two at Harrods in London. Who’s your guest?
My baby brother who had to go and fall in love with a Brit and move across the sea to jolly old England. 😉
In the movie version of your life, who will play you?
Lauren Graham. She just needs to put on a few pounds first. LOL
