Name: Amy Rysavy

Significant other/children/pets: Husband - Tim, and two little girls - Veronica (4) and Josie (1)

When/why did you start stamping: I started stamping over 2 1/2 years ago when my mother-in-law
invited me to a Stampin' Up! workshop - I got hooked and haven't looked back!

Describe your style: My style is probably best described as contemporary - altho I have very eclectic
tastes and enjoy attempting other things like shabby chic, simplstic, etc etc etc.

Favorite color: Do I have to pick *just* one?? PINK, baby blue, celery, and a nice chocolatey brown!!

Favorite stamping technique: Using Prismacolor Pencils w/ Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits) and
paper blending stumps.

What do you listen to while stamping: Sometimes nothing - but when I really want to get in the
groove I'll listen to Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stephani.

Favorite paper project accent (ribbon, patterned paper, brads, etc): RIBBON - I can never have
enough!!

When you hear the word "stamp" what does it make you visualize/ feel: I start thinking about all
the cards/projects I've done and then start visualizing the things that I'm planning on doing and what
I would like to make!

Why do you stamp: B/c I absolutely love it and it's what keeps me sane!

What inspires you: So many things inspire me - magazines, different online sites, store displays,
clothing, furniture...really just about anything can in some way inspire me to make a card or project!
