Welcome to our newest designer Laura Davis!

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Laura Davis has joined our design team. Many of you have seen Laura's wonderful cards and sketches when we sponsor the 2 sketches 4 you challenge blog that she and the talented Kazan Clark co-own: http://www.2sketches4you.blogspot.com
. Laura's style can be described with words like BIG, BOLD, FEARLESS. Her affinity for lavish ribbons, posh bows and strong color make her cards POP! So it is my honor and without further adieu may we introduce you to Laura Davis:

Designer Laura Davis

We asked Laura to give us a brief biography about herself and her interests:

Hello, my name is Laura Davis and I am a wife and a mother to a 15 year old daughter. I enjoy running, working out, cooking, and creating. Creating is my passion. I love being inspired, and inspiring others.

And inspiring she is, take a look at these outstanding projects and you can see for yourself how talented Laura is:

SAS NEWS!

Wow it's been a whole month since I have posted to our blog! We have been super busy over here traveling around the country participating in rubber stamp conventions, working on lots of new images and loading new products to the website. I thought I better take a minute and catch you all up on our newest news before more time gets away from me!

First we have had to say goodbye to two of our design team members Kathy Daume' and Donna Baker. Their wonderful cards will be missed but we wish them all the best for the future. Thank you Kathy and Donna for the work you have done for us.

With two spots open we have invited two new talents to join our team. It is with great pleasure that Dawn Mercedes and Jenn McMillan have accepted positions on the design team. For those of you that subscribe to our gallery blog (www.starvingartistampsgallery.blogspot.com)

and have seen their guest spots you know why we needed them to come on board full time. For those of you that haven't check out their work by visiting their labels in our gallery (links also provided below)

As you can see by their previous work, they will be a wonderful new addition to our team! Jenn and Dawn have not wasted any time with their new Design Team status. They have already started working with our new DoodleFactory collections Into the Woods with more new projects to come.

Speaking of new... We have a BRAND new DoodleFactory set coming out in the next couple of days. And you know what that means... So check back soon (or sign up for blog updates, so you don't miss out!) because we will have some NEW RELEASE BLOG CANDY very very soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

News!

Well, we are only 10 little days into this new year and it has already brought about lots of news! We have to say farewell to three of our designers Sam Morris, Valorie Wibbens and Rose Ann Reynolds. Their beautiful and inspiring cards will be greatly missed, but we wish all the best for them in the future.

We have had several new releases just issued with several more on the way. We are sponsoring 3 different challenge blogs in the coming weeks (Stamp Something, Card Positioning Systems, and 2Sketchs4you) We also have an exciting blog hop in the works with a very different new release on the way!

But most importantly we have the pleasure of adding three new enthusiastic people to our design team.

It is my honor to tell you that guest designers Lydia Fiedler and Lori Tecler have joined our design team on a full time basis and we are excited to be able to bring in a new fresh talent Kathy Daume' from http://kathy-prettyinink.blogspot.com/ who has also accepted a position on our team. You have seen Lydia and Lori's cards in the gallery from time to time and we are thrilled they will be more frequently sharing their clever and creative cards with us!
Here are links to Lydia and Lori's current cards from our gallery:
