Meet Scrapbooks Hawaii's Philippine Design Team
CABBIE LOPEZCabbie is a stay at home mother to 4 active boys. She started scrapbooking last May 2006 and since then has been hooked to this wonderful and fulfilling craft. Cabbie was also given the honor to be named as the 1st Scrappinmoms IDOL in the Philippines last October 2007 and her first assignment as a DT for Scrapbooks Hawaii.
Aside from scrapbooking, Cabbie also enjoys altering stuffs and doing mini books. She goes for the shabby chic style though she would love to explore other new techniques and styles too. Cabbie usually distress because she likes the classic aged looks with vintage effects. Scrapbooking not only serves as an outlet in her life but as a chronicler of life's events, she believes that these memories in papers and pictures will always be cherished by those who are part of it. Cabbie is 34 yrs old and resides in Old Manila, Philippines.
DONNABELLE BOLO ESPIRITUDonna started serious scrapbooking more than 2 years ago. She doesn't have a specific style because she loves trying all stuff and all style that fits her mood...but if she will put it in a category, she thinks that she is more of a freestyle scrapbooker. Donna loves using her own handwriting in her layouts--its like putting a trademark on her pages. Donna believes that in doing so, she imparts more of herself to her family and her friends and hopefully they will remember her through her works, works of love for them. Donna also loves sharing what she knows and it really makes her happy when people acknowledge what she can do. Donna is 30, and happily married.
NENETTE SAMSON MADERONette is the owner of My Little Attic, the first online scrapbooking store in the Philippines. She has been married to her husband Chino for almost 10 years and they have been blessed with 3 wonderful children— Isabela,8, Miguel, 7, and Andrea, 5. She is a dentist by profession but chose to be a full time mom to address the growing needs of her children. When her daughter Isabela was born, she took photography lessons and started documenting the lives of her loved ones. Inevitably, scrapbooking became a favorite hobby . Her scrapping style is a mixture of linear and shabby chic. Distressing and tearing are some of her favorite techniques. Aside from making hand crafted gifts, she enjoys photography, badminton and kick boxing.
