The Man and The Spies wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for some lovely cohorts we picked up along the way:
 Artist-in-Residence JoNell Lutes
As a child, JoNell loved to do crafts. Office supplies such as receipts were a staple in her stash as well as plenty of construction paper and glue.
About 10 years ago she discovered scrapbooking and stamping and fell in love with it. She has her first publication on newsstands now.
In addition to crafting, JoNell enjoys reading, watching her children and husband play sports, spending time with her friends and traveling in Europe where her husband, three sons and herself are currently stationed with the Air Force.

Currently she designs for Altered Arts Magazine as well as for several other manufacturers. Her work has been published by Somerset Studios, Lark, Kalmbach, PaperWorks, Memory Makers, Creative TECHniques among others. She finds searching through thrift and antique stores to be her greatest inspiration and can be found most days in her studio with the music blaring. She, her husband, two children, and two canines call the mountains of West Virginia home.
Artist-in-Residence Susan Goffman
Susan discovered scrapbooking about 8 years ago. Since then, she has wandered into the world of stamping, cardmaking, and altering and collaging anything she can get her hands on. She didn’t spend much time making things as a child, so she is thoroughly enjoying her second chance at playing and making messes with glue, paper, ink, and paint. Some of her layouts have appeared in various scrapbooking publications.
During the days, Susan uses the left side of her brain as an attorney for a non-profit organization. The right side kicks in late at night after everyone else is in bed, when most of her creating gets done. In between, she spends time with her husband and two children and their pets - two cats, two dogs, a fish, and a guinea pig.
Artist-In-Residence Teri Anderson!
Teri Anderson is a long time dabbler with arts and craft supplies.
She began scrapbooking more than 10 years ago and has created cards for more than four years. She’s constantly inspired by new products and techniques. But her favorite technique of all time is stamping because there are endless possibilities with stamps.
Her work has appeared in many card and scrapbook magazines, including Paper Crafts, Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks Etc., Cards, the Stampers’ Sampler, Take Ten and Scrap & Stamp Arts. She is also on the design team at CreativeXpress.com. Besides creating, she is a history buff and loves going to concerts, traveling, cooking and taking pictures.
Artist-in-Residence Connie Petertonjes!
Connie has been scrapbooking and stamping for the past 10 years. She has completed many of her own albums, as well as several gift albums for friends and family. She enjoys trying all the new techniques and trends in Scrapbooking, but tries to maintain her own personal style. Handmade cards are one of her favorite things to send to friends and family members.
She has been published in several scrapbooking magazines, such as Memory Makers, Better Homes & Gardens Scrapbooks, Etc., Ivy Cottage Creations and Scrapbook Trends. She also has had many cards and other paper craft items published in Paper Trends, Cards!, PaperWorks, CorrespondenceART and CardMaker. She just recently completed several technique articles which will be featured in future issues of PaperWorks.
In addition to scrapping for her family and enjoying some limited success in the publishing world, she loves doing design work for Art Declassified, a rubber stamp manufacturer, Rocky Mountain Hobbies, an online retailer, Memory Creators, a monthly kit club, Hap’s Memories, a Cincinnati area Scrapbook store. She has had several years experience teaching a wide variety of classes and loves sharing her passion for paper crafts with others.
Connie lives in a suburb of Cincinnati, OH with her husband Craig and two daughters. When not creating, she loves to read and watch sappy, chick-flick movies.
Licensed Artwork
Memories in Uniform was conceived in May 2002 as a webstore dedicated to military theme scrapbook products. Fast forward to July 2003 and we are now a wholesale only company specializing in sophisticated military laser designs. It was a difficult decision to leave e-tailing behind, but one we felt would ultimately benefit our customers in the end. As a manufacturer, we are thrilled to be able to provide the scrapbook world a new kind of military product for their albums. Clean, well designed, true to life, our laser cuts are the best of the best! Memories in Uniform laser cut designs have been licensed by Art Declassified to bring you a new line of sophisticated military stamps.
Beautiful original doodles, flourishes, flowers and drawings from Suzanne Carillo, owner and artist of Bisous (Bzoo). Visit Bisous at www.bisous.biz. Suzanne brings the PDQ line of papers to scrapbooking. Pretty.Darn.Quick. Create an album in an afternoon.
Sarah Hodsdon
Stamp Artist
Sarah started her career selling her multi media collages and notecards at local juried fine art shows. As a professional designer, artist and instructor, her artwork has been published in a number of nationally circulated publications, including Expressions, Scrap & Stamp Arts, RubberStampMadness, Stamper’s Sampler, and Vamp Stamp News. Being a bit of a “non-traditionalist” when it comes to rubber stamping, she is constantly trying to push the proverbial envelope by creating new and innovative ways to use stamps and various media. Sarah brings her unique point of view to Art Declassified with two distinct stamp lines. Hand etched vintage-looking botanicals are the focus of her first line of licensed art stamps, to be followed by Sarah’s People. You won’t want to miss meeting them.
