Meet Angi!

 

Hello fellow crafters! My name is Angi and I am so excited to be on The Paper Variety team. I live in "Terrific Texas" and I am a single mom of two wonderful daughters. Rebekah is in college out in San Diego studying theater and Rachel just started high school and is active in dance and theater. They are my angels!

 

I got hooked on paper crafting after a friend invited me to crop night about 10 years ago. Now I'm a "Paper Addict". My creative background is all over the place. I've worked as a journalist and photographer while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, I've written for local community newspapers, and now I'm studying graphic design. I'm currently a Jr. High English teacher.

 

You can see more of my projects at cokiepopaper.blogspot.com. I would describe my style as Colorful, Fun, and Whimsical. I love large embellishments that are full of color. My faves these days are chipboard and flowers. My absolute favorite thing to design is altered projects. I love to take an ordinary item and turn it into something "FAB". Two of my favorite altered projects are shown below. One is a retro recipe box and the other is a sassy altered notebook. I recently had my altered recipe cards published. I'm super excited to be a part of TPV and I can't wait to see all of your submissions for our upcoming challenges.
