Featured Artist

As promised, I have a new featured artist today!

If you would like to be my featured artist next monday, please make sure to leave a comment on this post with your name, email address and a link to your blog!


I would like to introduce you to Ret Cudmore. You can read a little about her below. Please take a few moments to read her bio and check out her blog here.

Hi, I'm Ret Cudmore! I feel so fortunate and excited to be the featured artist on Shelly’s blog! I love to stamp! It makes me happy! I'm lucky enough to be married to a kind and wonderful man. We have no children, but we do have one fur baby, a dog, Abbi. I am a recently retired sales manager. I'm originally from the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York, about 15 miles from Saranac Lake, but my husbands job has us currently living in Nova Scotia, Canada.I started rubber stamping to fill my time when I first came to Nova Scotia 8 years ago. I soon discovered that I loved making handmade cards and the personal gratification I get from it. I can honestly say I've fallen in love with all the different avenues that paper crafting has to offer.

I hope you like my card that is featured today, and that you’ll browse thru my blog and become inspired to ink up your stamps and create!!!
Thanks so much, for looking, and thank you, Shelly for featuring me!!!

I am a featured artist!

I have been asked by Elaine Wheeler Write if I would like to be featured on her blog as a featured artist. OF COURSE I WOULD! Who wouldn't be honored to be featured on someone else's blog?

So here is the card that I am using over on her blog. Check it out if you get the chance. Just click here and it will take you on over to her blog!

Thanks to everyone that checks out my blog daily or weekly or whenever you check it out! I really appreciate it and all the feedback that I get from you!

Until Next time, GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

Hi, my name is Nancy Horn and I am so excited to be the Featured Artist this week on Shelly's blog!!! A little about me . . . I originally came from the Washington coast, about an hour north of Seattle. I am married and have 2 boys - 25 & 17 and 2 adorable granddaughters - 4 & 2 - that live with us half time. I now live in Jerome, ID., we moved here from Ontario, OR the summer of 2006 after my husband finished Dental Hygiene school and accepted a job in Sun Valley. When people ask why we moved to Jerome (since I had hoped to return to the coast), we always say The Lord sent us into the desert for a reason; we don't know why, but HE did. Then a year later my husband surrendered to the ministry in the summer of 2007, and we realized that was the reason!

My sister-in-law was one of the first SU demos in Montana, and for Christmas in 1995 she gave me my first SU stamp set (a foam mounted set) and a Spectrum pad - I was hooked! The Spring of 2000, as I approached my 20-year class reunion I began to panic that I hadn't "done" anything with my life; so I decided to go back to school for Cisco Networking. While I was in school my mother passed away and eventually I decided that I didn't want to be a network nerd anymore; I needed to be a creative again. I had inherited all of my mom's crafting supplies & over 300 craft books. Add that to what I had in my stash, from 5 years of SU workshops, I was in a crafters paradise! 5 years later, I met Judy Mahon a SU demo from Council, ID and she taught me so much. When I moved to Jerome, I told Judy I was going to have to sign up since she wasn't close enough to do classes anymore at my house (I had moved 5 hours from her). I signed up during SAB in 2007 and have been Happy Stamping in Jerome ever since.

Monday Featured Artist

Last week, I introduced Wendy Kidd as my featured artist.

I decided to start having a featured artist every Monday. This weeks Featured artist is Elaine Wright. Please take a moment to look at her project and read her information. If you get the chance, you may want to visit her blog as well. Thank you Elaine for your interest in being my featured artist!

My name is Elaine Wright, I live near Clarksville, TN where I was raised but after marrying my husband while going to college in Idaho we have lived in 7 states until 1999 when he retired and we moved back to TN.

I have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator for nearly 3 years. I will celebrate my 34th wedding anniversary in July and my husband and I have 4 grown children and our 5th grandchild is on the way. We live on a small farm and have a cat and 3 chickens and a garden and orchard. Besides stamping and scrapbooking I love gardening and doing yard work and visits from the grandchildren and teaching classes.

If you would like to be a featured artist please leave a comment on this post. I will chose another artist next Sunday and feature them on Monday!

Until then, GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

As you have seen in several of my past posts, I have been very into the quilt cards!
