Margaret Sherry
My home is in Cheshire, which is a most beautiful part of England. I am an artist and always have been. After graduating from Newcastle upon Tyne University my work has been amazingly varied, spanning over 30 years. At the beginning of my career I produced medical and botanical illustrative work, because the subject matter tended to be very detailed and accurate. In addition I also worked in the advertising industry but my main love was children’s book illustration. My own children are all grown, and I find my grandchildren to be such a joy as well.
Constantly, I am asked, “Where do you get your ideas?”
They are always in my mind that is not a problem but having enough time to produce all the artwork I would like to do is insolvable!!
My partner is a doctor and we are both fortunate to be able to work for the majority of the time, at home. |

Martha Moseman
Martha has designed scrapbook pages and cards for Penny Black since 2005. She loves working with color and texture and finds the rubber stamps from Penny Black a perfect way to express herself with each of these design elements. For Martha, a scrapbook page is a wonderful canvas to allow artistic creativity to express the mood and message that a good photograph is trying to show. She enjoys using stamps to help " tell the story" of what has happened in the photo.
Martha has a degree in Art Education and has spent many years exploring a variety of artistic methods. While her children were young she began working from her home as a floral designer. From 2002 -2005 she worked as an in house designer for AccuCut where she was able to use a variety of techniques on die cuts for note cards and scrapbook pages. Her work has been featured in displays and classes at major industry tradeshows across the country as well as in numerous publications including Creating Keepsakes, Craft Trends, Paper Crafts, and Rubber Stamper. She has also had the privilege of teaching classes and make and takes to retailers and consumers.
Martha and family live in Nebraska. |

Since childhood, Elizabeth had been fascinated with paper. Over the years, this fascination grew into a passion for rubber stamping and paper crafting. She began teaching stamping classes in 2003 while working full-time in the accounting industry. In 2005, her love of art inspired her to leave her accounting position to pursue her passion full-time. Her creative energies are now divided between working at a nearby scrapbooking store, teaching classes, and creating artwork from her home. Stamp It! magazine named her 1 of 20 Stamping Queens for 2004 and she has had numerous cards published in The Rubber Stamper. She also enjoys tutoring and volunteering at the local library.
