April 2010 Inspirational Scrapper

Artz de Scrap's Chosen Inspirational Scrapper for April 2010 is our very own Resident DT

Nathalie Jane Lopez aka Cabbie

I am cabbie lopez and I am a stay at home mom to 4 boys. I started scrapbooking 4 years ago but ever since I was a kid, the world of arts has already placed a special tag in my heart. Aside from doing layouts, I also alter things, do minibooks, cards, atcs and love to experiment with different techniques. I am also a design team member for different sites and a staff contributor for scrapbook news and review online magazine. My style can be flexible but i am more into the shabby, eclectic and vintage edge. scrapbooking has opened a lot of possibilities for me because its not only about doing and creating, but its also about attaining friendships both online and local which up to this present time holds a very dear place in my life.

For the outer cover ( cardstock ) : 3 ½ x 7 inches
For the inner holder ( pattern paper ): 6 ½ x 7 inches

1. Prepare your papers.

2. Score the cardstock at 3 ½ and 4 ¼.

3. Fold the scored area.

4. Score the pattern paper with the shortest side on the upper portion, at ½ inch and at 3 ½.

5. Fold the scored ½ inch area and fold the remaining scored area just enough to close.

I'm a 46 year old Stay At Home Mom. I live in Round Rock, Texas with my husband of 8 years and our kids, a son, 6, and step daughter, 11. I retired from 17 years of government service to stay home and raise my children. I have been involved in arts and crafts since I was a child. More recently I owned a faux painting and home décor business and an online scrapbook store. I became involved in scrapbooking and mixed media about five years ago. I love papercrafts, altered arts and mixed media. I teach classes at local scrapbook stores, retreat centers and online on a variety of topics from basic scrapbooking to complex technique heavy altered art and mixed media projects. I also instruct students to use tools like Purple Cows Trimmers and Zutter Bind It All and DreamKuts. My scrappy style is eclectic, at best! Some days my pages are neat and simple.....others, I throw on everything I can get my hands on. I have a special love of distressed items and ephemera.

Currently, I design and teach for:

Purple Cows
