Hey there! I am Kristin Clove, and I am so excited to be here today with The Dating Divas! I have been designing for myself, friends, and family for a long time, and opened my etsy shop in the end of 2012. Originally, I just wanted to earn money to go on a cruise with my husband, and since then my little business has grown bigger than I ever dreamed. My favorite thing about what I do though, is meeting some of the greatest people ever through design projects!
A few facts about me: I love color! I CRAVE color all around me and that comes through in my designs. I need to be in light, open, airy places. I love citrus fruit. Freshly squeezed lime is my favorite smell in the entire world. I am a font-lover (there is a perfect font for every occasion!). I grew up in Wyoming, have lived in Boston, and spent most of my adult life in Utah. Mexican food = yum! I love to read. Spring is my favorite season. I hate wearing shoes, but if I must wear them, they had better be cute! Creating things is my passion. Laundry is my nemesis. Chocolate can change my mood in an instant. I have repinned almost every single fudge recipe there is on Pinterest. I am obsessed with fresh flowers. My family is everything to me. My husband, Tyrel, and I have been married for 9 years, and we have two beautiful and SPUNKY daughters – Lydia and Elsa (yes, EVERYone asks if she was named after the movie. nope, she wasn’t – she was born 2 years before it came out!). We live in a tiny town in central/ southern Utah and I am a full-time mom and part-time designer and photographer.
I attended Utah State University (Gooo Aggies!), and graduated with a degree in Journalism, Public Relations emphasis, and a minor in Ornamental Horticulture, which basically is a fancy way of saying that I know a LOT about writing press releases, trees, flowers, plants, and weeds. My FAVORITE classes were my floral design classes, followed closely by a few courses in web design, graphic design, and landscape design. I probably should have noticed that the common thread in all of these was the DESIGN element and switched to a design track. 🙂 Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to draw and paint and create. It makes me happy that I am able to do this for “work” now. I love designing some of the fabulous printables The Dating Divas offer on their site. I actually started working with these ladies last summer, so you may have already seen and used quite a few of the printables I have done!
I LOVE doing custom projects – announcements, invitations, family mission statements, handouts. Send them my way! I enjoy the challenge of taking YOUR ideas(however specific or loose they may be) and creating something unique and perfect for YOU!

Thank you, Kristin!! We are SO excited about your giveaway! Good luck to all our lucky readers!!
I’m going to be honest with you…I’m struggling to find one thing I don’t love! Super talented. Love all the church sayings.
I love all the beautiful Printables
oohhh love kristin, love dating divas, love this giveaway!
I love all her designs and quotes she uses!
Definately the one that says “if I had my life to live over again..,”
I love the “I Am A Child Of God” prints!
Awesome giveaway. Such talent!!
I love Kristen’s designs! She truly is beautiful inside and out!!
You’re are and always have been amazing! You’re one of my favorites. Congrats to you on this new venture!
I have gotten several things that I have loved. I would love to get some custom stuff for little boys rooms that have the stripling warriors or captain Moroni and some other scripture heroes. You do good work sister!
I love this years and last years girls camp handouts!!! (My young women all love them too!)
I love all of Kristin’s work!!!
Since I have just met my love (and we’re just a bit “older” with grandchildren!), I have to say, my favourite is “Love You Longer”. We tell each often that we wished we’d met earlier so we’d have more time (& more energy) with each other.
I love the “would’ve found you sooner quote” but that camp blow dryer made me laugh! Your shop is full of lovely items!
Love the “Desire to Create” print!
Hey Kristin!
It was such a pleasant surprise to see you on here! What a fun talent you have! I love your work and have so many favs, but if I win my fav choice will be…

Your Etsy shop is wonderful! The Love you longer print is my favorite.
Love the “I am a Child of God” print with the floral border!! So sweet in a nursery
She lives life in her own little fairytale – Little girl nursery Art –love love love this
I love the “I would have found you sooner” print, but there are so many other’s I would love to have as well. What a talented artist!
It was hard to pick a favorite. Kristen, you have an amazing talent, totally jealous. 😉 That being said I am going to order your “Because someone we love is in heaven, there is a little bit of heaven in our home.” I absolutely love this quote.
I so love all of her things but feel an emotional draw, {pardon the pun}, to the “If I had my life to live over” & “Because someone we love is in heaven”! Both are things I have said to my adopted daughter MANY times!! One for exactly how I feel for her & the other when she lost her natural father!!
I absolutely love the Wild and Precious Life print. It is wonderful!
I love them all , it will be so hard to choose
“Because someone we know is in heaven, there is a little bit of heaven in our home.”
This is beautiful and perfect for our family wall. It needs some updating but my husbands mother passed away before she could meet our boys… But I really feel her in our home no matter how far away she may be. <3
I am in love with the “Because someone we love is in heaven, there is a little bit of heaven in our home” printable. Will definitely be printing it for my mom with our without a gift card. 🙂
“Love you longer” is my FAVORITE! Describes my husband & I to a tee! We are newly weds, and just found each other later in life, my husband 51, and I am 37. We say this all the time & would love it in our bedroom! Thank you for all your designs, gorgeous! ;(
I love all your designs!
The Dress Up, Dance, Giggle, Twirl, and Play print.
I Love the one with the saying, “Be loyal to the royal within you, for you are the daughter of a king!”
I absolutely love the abrazos y besos sign. My heritage is hispanic, and this sums up my life. 😉
I love your ideas! There are too many things I love to be able to choose just one!
Oh, my! I love all of your items! The colors are fantastic!!! We are remodeling almost every room in our home so, I would be thrilled to have many of these prints to update…especially our bedroom. If I had to pick a favorite…Love you Longer.
