Kenny K

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all of your creations!

The creator, the artist, the man: KennyK wielded a mean crayon during his formative years in the Bronx, developing his signature funky-but-slick, urban-influenced style - and over the years has completed countless assignments for many of the biggest ad agencies and corporate clients in the business. His work runs the gamut from big-budget advertising campaigns and promotions, editorial illustration, toy/game and product packaging, to sexy pinup babes, anime and retro character designs, comic books, computer games, t-shirt and sticker designs and Flash animation - all that fun stuff!

I’m ElenaK, the woman behind the man, and the feminine touch of KennyKDownloads.com. I have been producing events for over 6 years in NYC and am an entrepreneur and a crafter at heart! Kenny and I had been searching for the perfect collaborative project to combine our respective skill sets since we got married; we are now making it happen with KennyKdownloads.com and having a blast!

And here are................

Crafty individuals

Crafty Individuals is an exciting venture into the creative world of creative craft materials and altered art products for business partners Jean Hardy and Malcolm Noble, who both come from an arts-based background.

AprilI have been married to my high school sweetheart for 15 years,we have 2 wonderful children, a boy and a girl, we live in north carolina,we just seperated from the air force after 15 years and are happy to be settled at least for now,i have been crafting for 10 years now and have really branched out to su, I am in love with my copics and work hard learning how to use them, i love anything with glitz,glitter and jewels as you will see in my creations.
Carly

My name is carly and i am a 35 year old craft addict, i have a 2 year old daughter madalyn and a husband named steve,I do my creating at night once madalyn has gone to sleep,I have only been creating cards and colouring with copics for about 3 months but have been into craft since a young age such as cross stitch,drawing and calligraphy,in my adult years ive self taught knit and crochet, and then i found paper craft, i must admit to getting inks and stamps a few years ago but didnt do much with them, a friend introduced me to the world of digital images and copics and the rest is..well its on my blog

Natalie

I am a stay at home mum to three young children, and craft whenever i can,I have always been arty since i made my birth announcements for my eldest daughter about 8 years ago,I dont get an awful lot of time to get inky fingers and covered in glitter but im very possesive of the moments i do, i also like making the odd bit of jewellery and im keen to learn new things and meet new friends.

Now onto some good news, for you guys anyway, i have decided to give more chance for you to win by splitting up my prizes, so instead of one person winning all the prizes i will do a draw for each prize i have for that challenge,
