Nathy

Our Mask It Challenge sponsor was Nathy from Cinnamon Designs.

Her short bio: I’m Nathy and I am a 36 year old nurse. I love in Mons, Belgium with my boyfriend and my furbabies. I am addicted to digital scrapbooking and have been scraping for two years before I started designing. I love to swim. I love movies and I’m totally addicted. I love to cook and dress a beautiful table for the people I love.

Is Nathy short for something?
Yes, Nathy is short for Nathalie, my grandmother and family always called me like this, so I always keep it.

What is your favorite meal to make?
Salad!!!!!I love love to experiment with salads, my favorite one is with goat cheese and a honey dressing yummy!!!

Belgium is a mix French, Dutch and German. What is your primary language and culture?
My native language is French and I am Catholic.

Your bio states you are a nurse. Do you have a specialty?
I was formed as a nurse, worked in hospital but stopped for a while due health problems; I'm planning on going back to work, but more to individual’s home helping, or nursery.

Going back? How will you fit it all in?

I will start again real soon, I guess I need to get more organized and find the time to do both.

Congratulations on your big move. How did this come about? How do you feel being among the A5D team?
This is a wonderful opportunity for me as I love this store and many of the designers who are selling there, I’m a big fan!  Amy Hutchinson is a fantastic designer, a wonderfully sweet person and made me feel so welcome!

How did you get started in designing?
While browsing the scrap stores, I really wanted to do this, designing; I started offering little freebies on my blog from time to time.

Do you remember who the first designer was you bought from? What designer inspired(s) you to design?
Nathalie Braxton, I am a big fan!!!
I guess Nathalie Braxton inspired me to design as well!!

Were you a paper scrapper before you started digi? Do you work any hybrid projects?
No, I never paper scrapped, but I’m planning to start really soon, I’m really getting inspired by all the gorgeous projects I see.

When you scrap what are your top 3 must haves?
mmmh let's see...I love a good crafty or grungy plain background,
flourish, scattered embellishments and brushes.

Now for my choices!

Being a coffee lover I really like this kit Sweet and Warm. I also think the neutral tones with the pops of red are really great.

My Right Hand (wo)man

I'm not sure what I would do without Amy. She has been my support and anchor throughout this first year of GS. (Did you know that February 2009 is our one year anniversary?! Yeah, us!) She has a great spirit and she rocks my world in paper making.

A bit about Amy -

I'm married to a railroad conductor who is on the road quite a bit. That leaves me in charge of taking care of our three children. My daughter is freshman in high school and the boys are age 9 and 10. I am addicted to Starbucks White Mochas! Besides designing at The-Lilypad, I do custom design work for professional photographers and I watch my 2 year old nephew three days a week.

I started paper scrapping when my 2nd child was born. I've always used the computer for journaling and titles so it was a natural progression to digital. I did some design work for Rakscraps, but really took a long time learning the ropes before I jumped into selling my own designs. It took the prodding of Natalie Braxton and Amy Martin to convince me! I'm thrilled to be able to help support my family doing something I love.

What is your all time "read over and over again" book?

I read so much I don't really go back too often. I will throw my favorites on a shelf and try to reread them at least once before I give them away.

If you could pack your bags tomorrow for a two week vacation where would you go?

Sanibel Island in Florida

What is your favorite thing about yourself?

I try to be as compassionate as I can. I always look at both sides of a story and don't jump to judgment.

Do you like to dance? Or sing in the shower?

I sing all the time and I can be extremely goofy ...especially around my kids. I'm sure they're thrilled! LOL!

Besides digital scrap book what is your favorite type of art?

I love mixed media stuff!

What was your favorite subject in school?

Reading and music

What are your top three songs on your mp3 player?

I just checked my play count. "Stupid for You" by Marie Digby, "Always Be My Baby" by David Cook, and "The Last Thing on Your Mind" by Lights.

Dog? Or cat?

Tough question...I've always had cats until my son became allergic and now we are really wanting a puppy!!

What is your all time favorite comfort food? A bowl of cold cereal

On to my favorite layouts and current favorite kit of Amy's...
