About Kristin Rizzo

Hi, I'm Kristin Rizzo, and I play with paper! After taking a much-needed break, I'm so excited to be jumping back into the creative chaos of paper crafting! I have been lucky to be on many design teams such as Jennifer Edwardson Creative, EricaRose Creates, SpiegelMom Scraps, and more. As well as being published several times in Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. My makes are primarily 12x12 layouts, but I also like creating mini albums, cards. and some altered art. When at home scrapbooking, I enjoy catching up on reality TV and ANYTHING true crime (podcasts & shows on television). When I get the chance, I love attending paper crafting events such as crops and classes!

Outside of scrapbooking, I love spending time with friends and family - going to concerts and movies, cuddling with my husband Tony and our four fur babies (Bailey, Bristol, Dixie & Millie), Chicago White Sox baseball & Chicago Bears football, thrifting & doing new and exciting things ... I love exploring and road trips! Please visit me at scrapkat773.
