After a brief hiatus we’re getting back to our Rock Star Spotlight series! This week we’re shining the spotlight on Ayana Posadas. Back in June I had the great pleasure of meeting Ayana at the Stampfest show in Orlando. Not only is she a wonderfully talented stamper, she is a super sweet person too! 
Ayana Posadas
1. Tell us a little about your family. I have two wonderful parents who have been married for over twenty-five years. My mother is from Colombia, and my father is from Guatemala. I also have two siblings. My brother is twenty-four, and my sister just turned seventeen. I am the oldest.
2. How did you get into stamping? I have only been stamping for about two years, maybe less. But I used to scrapbook a lot, for several years. I was first introduced to stamping from my friend’s mom. She exposed me to the company of Stampin’ Up, and I was hooked ever since!
3. What is your favorite technique? Well that always seems to be changing. But right now I am really into masking. I love how you can achieve the look of dimension on a single-layer card, simply by just making a mask and stamping over it.
4. What is your favorite tool? I would say that my favorite tools are my border punches. They come in so many different designs, and they are so fun to use. I think sometimes adding a simple border punch to a card can turn a “good” card into a “great card”. I absolutely love using them!
5. What are your favorite embellishments? Hmmm…. Well that is also something that is constantly changing in my mind. But if I had to pick one right now, then I would say that I really love “twine” lately! However, pearls and ribbon are not too far behind!
6. What is your favorite coloring method? It used to be colored pencils & gamsol. But lately it has changed to Copics! I recently took a class on these fabulous markers not too long ago, and let’s just say it’s definitely my “new addiction”!
7. What is your favorite color combo? Well I don’t have just one, but I always like to mix neutral colors with a bright, vibrant color. For instance: black & hot pink, brown & turquoise, or kraft & red. I think having a neutral base color can make colors pop and stand out in such a fabulous way!
8. If you had to describe your stamping style with 3 words, what would they be? Oh my! I’m still not really sure what my “style” is…. But I guess if I had to choose three words, they would probably be: “Colorful, Fun, & Girly”!
9. Do you always send the cards you create? This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I actually don’t send very many cards out at all. I need to start though! I have only been stamping for a little less than two years, so the only major holiday that I sent cards out for was for Christmas, last year.
10. For which occasion or holiday do you create the most cards? I just went and scrolled through my blog before answering this question. To be honest, many of the cards I make are simply “Just Because” cards or random cards. Many times my cards don’t even have a sentiment on them, so you can use them for almost anything. But if I had to choose which time of year I gravitate more towards, when it comes to card-making, then I would choose fall and winter holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, etc.
11. What is your favorite stamping magazine? This may sound weird, but I have actually never purchased a stamping magazine. I just recently became familiar with the popular ones, when I started blogging, because I would constantly read about them online. But I have yet to physically hold an actual issue in my hands. However, I have been meaning to go out and buy one, so by the time this interview goes live, my answer to this question will most likely have changed.
12. What are your favorite Repeat Impressions’ designs? I love many of the trees and flowers. Repeat Impressions has lots of great nature images! But just recently, my newest favorite just became the “Vase of Tulips”….. LOVE it! =)
13. What are your other interests besides stamping? When I have the “time”, I really enjoy reading, cooking, and watching movies. I also really love to shop! And I absolutely LOVE to travel!!!!
14. Name your favorite food and one food you can’t stand. I have way too many favorites! I Love to Eat! Seafood is one of my main types of food that I love most. But one thing that I just don’t care for at all is: “ham”. Yuck!
15. What is your guilty pleasure? Shopping!…. I love to shop! However often times, I shop way more than I need to. It can get pretty “dangerous” sometimes! lol
16. Do you have any pet peeves? I can be pretty picky about grammar sometimes. For some reason, it really bothers me when people mix up words like “your & you’re” or “there, their, & they’re”. I’m constantly correcting my friends whenever I hear or read mistakes. Haha… I’m sure I can get pretty annoying sometimes, but proper grammar is important to me. =)
17. Tell us one random thing people may not know about you. I hate feet! They gross me out! lol
18. Name 3 things on your “bucket list”.
1) Cut my hair short…. (I’m still too scared!) lol
2) Skydiving…. (This used to be very high on my list, but the older I get, the more nervous I get… So whoo knows if I’ll ever do it).
3) Travel to more places that I haven’t already been to yet!….. (I’ve been to China, Colombia, Mexico, Belize, Panama, Guatemala, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, & Amsterdam)…. My goal is to be able to visit each of the seven continents one day.
19. If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which 5 books, movies, people and foods would you take along?
Books: I would bring all of the five books currently written by Emily Giffin. I am currently in the process of reading her collection right now. So far, I really love her stories.
Movies: I would bring: Life is Beautiful, Pursuit of Happiness, The Pianist, Forrest Gump, and Beauty & the Beast. =)
People: My boyfriend, my sister, my brother, and my parents.
Foods: Since I can only pick five, then I would say: Cheese, Shrimp, Steak, Oranges, and Ice Cream.
20. If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be? Well, despite that I’m Hispanic, my name is originally from Africa, and its meaning is “beautiful flower”. So I guess if I had to choose a movie title for my life, then I would call it “A Beautiful Flower”. =)
Thank you, Ayana, for sharing your responses here with us! It’s been a lot of fun getting to know you a little better. I know everyone will want to keep up with Ayana’s latest work so be sure to visit her blog, Ayana’s Creations and don’t forget to leave her some love too!

Whew! It’s been a whirlwind of activity at Repeat Impressions lately! Back to back blog hops, two new stamp series releases in two weeks, plus stamp shows every other weekend… I’m all tuckered out! No time to catch my breath just yet though… it’s time to officially release our new Snow Globes & Ornaments series, announce the winner of our latest hop, and reveal this week’s Stamp of the Week special!
First of all let’s all give a big round of applause and a shout out to Repeat’s Rock Stars! Woohoo!! These ladies really outdid themselves with the hops don’t you think?! I can’t tell you enough how much fun it was for me to create these new stamp designs and have them brought to life by this wonderfully talented group! You all really rocked it!!
So the wait is over for those of you who feel you have been teased enough. Our new Snow Globes & Ornaments series is now available for purchase! Just click here to start shopping.
Also, one of our lucky blog hoppers is about to win a free unmounted sheet of this latest series! We were all so pleased by your response to our hops and all the kind comments about the new designs and card samples. Thank you so much to all those who took the time to play along! And now… drum roll please… the winner of the blog hop candy is Kelly Guodace! Congrats, Kelly and happy stamping! Please contact me with your mailing address so we can get that new sheet of rubber on it’s way to you.
And now we return to our regularly scheduled blog post. 
Happy Monday everyone! It’s time for another Stamp of the Week. This week’s offering is our stamp #2606-J Forty Winks. Is there anything more relaxed than a sleeping cat?! Since I have two of my own and they seem to spend 85% of their time napping, I’d have to guess “No there isn’t.” But maybe I’m just jealous since I haven’t had a nap in like 30 years!
Here are the wonderful cards the Rock Stars have provided for your inspiration this week. And please don’t forget to leave comments… we all love to hear your feedback!

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to another exciting day at The House That Stamps Built. We had so much fun last week with our first blog hop that we’ve decided to do it again! And… we’re giving you a sneak peek at yet another NEW series of Christmas stamps! Can you believe it?!
But before we get started I have a couple of announcements to make. First of all… those adorable Christmas Penguins stamps we teased you with are now available for purchase on our website! Woohoo!! You will find them both mounted and unmounted individually and also on an unmounted sheet here… http://www.repeatimpressions.com/chrstmsp.html
Speaking of unmounted sheets… one of our lucky blog hoppers is about to win a sheet of the Christmas Penguins just for playing along with our little game. After collecting all the key words from each blog the correct phrase was “Visit us again Wednesday for another new stamp release hop.”
I am happy to report that 99.9% of you answered correctly. From those of you who submitted the correct phrase we let random.org pick our winner. So without further ado… the lucky winner is… Kristy Smith! Congrats, Kristy you just scored a sheet of our wonderful Christmas Penguins!
And now let the new hop begin! Snow Globes & Ornaments is the focus of this newest series. The card shown here was created by Rock Star, Darsie Bruno and gives you just a small, but wonderful peek of what you will see along the hop.

(I have provided their links below, but do be sure to refer to their RI Blog Hop posts if you are joining in later in the week.) On each blog, you will find a key word. After you collect all the words you will use them to create a phrase. Then email me (wendy@repeatimpressions.com) with the correct phrase to be eligible for the blog candy.
You can double your chances of winning and earn yourself TWO chances for the blog candy if you also leave a comment on each blog, including this one! You must complete the hop and email me the phrase (and optionally leave all your comments) no later than 10 p.m. est on Sunday, August 22nd.

Happy, hoppy Thursday and welcome to our first-ever Blog Hop! We’re so excited to finally let you in on our little secret… Repeat Impressions has NEW Christmas stamps that will be available in just a few days. So we thought what better way to celebrate and give you a sneak peek at some of our new stamp designs!
One of our more popular Christmas stamps has been our tiny penguin wearing a Santa hat. I thought it was about time that I gave this little guy some friends. So the focus of this hop is my new series of Christmas Penguins. The card shown here was created by Rock Star, Lynette Neus and gives you just a small, but wonderful taste of what you will see along the hop.

Today I’m excited to bring you another Rock Star Spotlight! This week we’re shining the light on Robin Kirkpatrick. Those of you who have been a visitor to the Repeat Impressions’ website for a few years may remember Robin from our previous design team. And if you have visited with us at a stamp show you’ve seen her work first hand on our display boards too. She’s created some wonderful cards for us over the years! We feel so fortunate that she decided to stick around while I got this blog off the ground. Thanks, Robin!
And now, a little look at the woman behind the art…
Robin Kirkpatrick
1. Tell us a little about your family. There were four children in my family. My oldest brother died when he was 36, so now there are three and I’m the youngest. My father died almost 15 years ago and my mother, who re-married, will turn 90 this September and is still going strong and playing golf!
I’ve been married for 25 years and we have three fur kids (all indoor cats). Our oldest is 18 and in the final stages of renal failure, so she won’t be with us much longer 
The other two are sisters, named for sister islands in the Caribbean – Saba and Statia. They are six years old.
2. How did you get into stamping? I started out scrapbooking, which somehow led to card making, which led to stamping. My sister was very much into stamping, so I’m sure that was my first major influence.
3. What is your favorite technique? I’m not really a technique oriented stamper, but I always find heat embossing to be a nifty experience, I just don’t do it very often.
4. What is your favorite tool? Oh, I have quite a few, most notably, my Genesis Paper Trimmer, Wizard and Copic markers and airbrush system. I use them on almost all of my cards.
5. What are your favorite embellishments? Ribbon and buttons
6. What is your favorite coloring method? Copic markers
7. What is your favorite color combo? Kraft and rust
8. If you had to describe your stamping style with 3 words, what would they be? Absolutely no clue
9. Do you always send the cards you create? I would say that 95% of the time I either give my cards to someone or sell them. I have a few I can’t part with…
10. For which occasion or holiday do you create the most cards? Christmas
11. What is your favorite stamping magazine? Stamper’s Sampler since they just published one of my cards
12. What are your favorite Repeat Impressions’ designs? Cats and flowers
13. What are your other interests besides stamping? Good food and wine, SCUBA Diving, travel, good food and wine, reading, movies and did I mention, good food and wine?
14. Name your favorite food and one food you can’t stand. Favorite food – blue cheese. Food I can’t stand – oatmeal (unless it’s in cookies!)
15. What is your guilty pleasure? Truffle Macaroni and Cheese from Clusters and Hops restaurant in Tallahassee, FL.
16. Do you have any pet peeves? Oh, SO many….my top three are arrogance, incompetence and poor spelling/grammar (thanks, Mom!)
17. Tell us one random thing people may not know about you. I was attacked by a German shepherd when I was a kid – it bit across my face, with one if its teeth getting me just under one eye. I have been afraid of them ever since.
18. Name 3 things on your “bucket list”. Visiting Alaska, the Swiss Alps and Tahiti.
19. If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which 5 books,
movies, people and foods would you take along?
Books: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Catcher in the Rye and the latest from David Baldacci, Randy Wayne White and Lee Child.
Movies: The Abyss, When Harry Met Sally, Top Gun, The Sound of Music and Sabrina.
People: Jimmy Buffet, James Taylor and Eva Cassidy to provide great music, my husband for good company and Julia Child to cook for all of us!
Foods: Maine lobster, artichokes, blue cheese, carrot cake and a bottle of good red wine. The perfect meal!
20. If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what
would that be? Bed of Roses
Thank you, Robin, for sharing your responses here with us! It’s been a real pleasure getting to know you better. You and I seem to have quite a bit in common. I know everyone will want to keep up with Robin’s latest creations too so be sure to visit her blog, Robin’s Rubber Room, and don’t forget to leave her some love!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit with us. I hope you’ll stop by again soon… we have some surprises in store for you!
Wendy
