Amy Peterman lives in the beautiful state of Michigan with her dear hubby, two girlies and two doggies. She’s kept scrapbooks ever since middle school — back when it was old school — but when she got married in 1997, she really fell in love with "scrapbooking".

Over the years she’s become freer with the use of scrapbook products and really enjoys expressing her creativity in this form. She loves slapping on paint, roughing up edges, and just being artsy!

When she’s not scrapbooking, you can find Amy changing diapers, driving her 4 year old back and forth to preschool, hanging out with her hubby, knitting, blogging and working at trusting in God with every step she takes in this crazy, sweet life.

Amy loves Mexican food, Dr. Pepper, antique fairs, U2, Phil Collins, Italy, mission furniture, old houses, new houses that look old, sleeping in (something that rarely happens for her these days), and Michigan’s unpredictable weather!

I am a mom, a wife, a friend, a business woman, a coffee addict, a poor housekeeper, a decent cook, and…. a scrapbooker. During the day, I work as a project manager in a cosmetics manufacturing company. At night, you’ll find me holed up on my scrapbook room listening to loud music & playing with paper. Scrapbooking has become a creative retreat in the midst of my chaotic life.

I started scrapbooking shortly after my son was born, focusing on 8.5×11 pages and chronological albums. I quickly became overwhelmed with the notion of getting caught up, and I put down my deco scissors for the next several years. I dusted off my supplies a few years ago, and then decided to jump into the publishing game in 2006. It’s fair to say that I haven’t looked back!

I’ve had a blast working with various publications…I’ve been published in Simple Scrapbooks, Creating Keepsakes, Cards Magazine, BHG Scrapbooks Etc, and Digital Scrapbooking Magazine. I was thrilled (honestly? shocked!) to be named a 2007 Memory Makers Master. I also recently joined the Design Team for Fiskars Crafts…what an awesome group of crafters!

“I started scrapbooking in 2002 as a way to organize all the stuff I collected after the birth of my son. It has become so much more than an organizational process for me - it has let me find my own personal passion and voice. It has become all about the process of capturing life and creating art.”
