I just found you right now too! I was referred to your blog through a yahoo group, to check out your word search tutorial. Thanks for all your great ideas!
Man, I found your blog on Andrea Walford’s blog, so I would say October 21:)
I’m sorry, I meant to say “Man, I can’t remember!”
This required a LOT of thinking…I started checking out your blog shortly before I “met” you momma online, which was shortly before I met you and your fabulous fam…oh the pressure…it’s sometime in March/April 2007…so I pick, oh let’s go with April Fool’s Day, since I’m too dingy to know the exact day…April 1, 2007. That’s my pick and I’m sticking to it!!
Hi Kub — I think I’ve been reading for about 6 mos. I’ve so enjoyed the tutorials. The blog candy has definitely brought out your fans!
I just found your blog through “Stampin When I Can” and I have to say, I love it ! So much inspiration, I’ll be back often.

It’s been at least a year. I remember the older blog interface you used and how I would get email updates. Then I added you to a reader and this is so much better. I have to say at least since Jan 2007, so I will pick my daughter’s bday of the 6th. But it was probably before as I had you on the old laptop and that was a while ago too.
How fun!
Hmmm, that’s tough! I know it’s been a while so I will say:
March 1, 2007
I started reading your blog in March 2006: March 23rd, to be exact because I remember that wonderful thank you card with the vibrant colors and using the embossed cuttlebug piece in the layout. I think I found you through SCS. Thanks for the chance to win.
I started reading your blog around May 2007. Thanks!
Hi Kurtis,
I’ve actually been reading your blog from the very beginning. According to your sidebar there, that means since January of 2007. Happy one year anniversary!!
Kerry Morgan
I believe it was around the 5th of January 2007….
I started stamping in earnest last year, and started blogging in August. I think I first found your blog around the first week of October. I remember because I had a week of vacation and stamped, blurfed, stamped, blurfed…
thanks for the chance! (LOVE your work, btw!)
January 5, 2008!! Thanks to a link to your word search. I have a SU demo on Monday evening and will be using several ideas from your site for my inspiration, the 1/2 sketch challenge being one of them.
Awesome cards, and absolutely love to see a man in the stamping world and a different perspective.
THANK YOU!!
Nanette
Hi Kurtis,
I’ve been reading your blog since your post on 30 Nov! I love your style and wish you all the best with your future, where ever it may take you.
Pedita
Well, I copied and cased your Feb 24 card so I guess it’s since then! Or maybe before…
And much more faithfully since about june 15. Your birthday… graduation…etc…
Love your stamping!
just found your blog tonight…
I’m not sure of when I discovered your blog but in looking back at some of your older posts I have to say it must have been sometime in June. Since I don’t know the exact date I will pick June 8th since that is my hubbys birthday.
I found your blog about the middle of August, so that would be around August 15th. I love your creativity!
Susan
I discovered you via some cards that you posted on SCS; and through Gina K’s blog. I’d have to say during this last Spring??? or very early Summer. I love the simplicity of your creations. Great work!
I started reading your blog on 3/8/07 – I found it through a link on Paper Trufflez (Julie HRR’s blog). I love you blog and check it several times each week. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Nancy
You have a great blog! I first started reading your blog on Oct 17th when you posted about ribbon storage! Thanks for the chance to win!
I took a peek back, and found a comment dated March 5th.
Love your card! Thanks for the opportunity!
I first came across your blog about 9 mopnths ago – May 2007. Awesome site – you’re definitley an inspiration!
I started reading your blog before you and your brother graduated, so I’ll say around April 23, 2007. You amazed me then, and continue to do so:)
I’ve been reading since April 2, 2007 or so. Your cards inspire me and I love your tutorials. Some of the best stuff out here. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I ‘d say arond March 31, 2007… watermarks were my problem back then…
I came across your beautiful cards on SCS nearly two years ago. I’ve followed your blog for over a year, and watched it evolve to what it is today. I really enjoy your designs. They inspire me alot.
To pick a date would be difficult. But I’ll just go with Jan. 15, 2007. It’s a special date for me. I know you’ve been around alot longer than that though.
Bless you,
I don’t remember the exact date I found your blog, but it was probably around 7/4/07…just a guess.
just discovered your site today from a link to your word search…so my date is jan 6, 2007. love your work!
Love your clean, simple style!
I discovered your blog around Thanksgiving, so I’ll say November 22, 2007.
I found it around Nov 27, 2007. I love your work!! Thanks for sharing!
August 12th 2007. I was brought to your blog by someone posting about your tutorial on watermarking. I emailed you that day asking you a question about Adobe photoshop. I would still not have a watermark if it wasn’t for your tutorial, it was wonderful! Thanks for all you have shared with us-Samantha
I found you from Gina’s blog and from that time you become one of my favorite bloggers! I’m not sure about the exact date, but I think it was July 21.
Hi Kurtis, I found your blog on July 17th! I check you everyday and can relate to you a bit, since my son is just a year younger than you! I find it fascinating that you have such an artistic talent and are proud to show it! My son could be very talented in the art field, but he is embarassed by it since he says it is a female-industry. I am so proud that you have embraced your art talent and share it with pride! Keep us inspired, Kurtis!
Love your cards Kurtis! I think I started checking your blog out around the middle of October – possibly the 15th or so!
Keep up the wonderful work!
This is my first time to your blog and absolutely love it! I found it by going thru stampinwhenican blog site and glad I checked it out. Your cards are great!
Gosh…I think it’s been since about October 28th. That’s my guess.
Hi Kurtis! Great Give away! I am thinking really hard here and steam is coming out my ears. Way before your high school graduation because I knew you were one half of a set of twins. lol
I had seen your gallery on SCS… I started pretty close to when you started. I passed your name on to everyone I knew when you offered the tutorial on making your own watermark and emailed my questions answered to my personal emai. SO SWEET!
I re-linked you to my pals in cyber world adn real time again..again when you were chosen to design for GinaK’s team…..
I know you vacationed with your family and it brought tears to my eyes since a road trip with family can be fun. Did you help your Grandma??
SO…… my best guess **(I have fibro fog and 4 kids, cut me some slack) that guess Ineed to get to here is last Spring sometime.. Your Blog was new or newish and you lsited many tutorials and your brother takes all the fab photos.. Spring of 2007 is the best I can do. Hopw I win anyhow!
I’ve been reading your blog for a little over a year now. At least that’s when I found out about you on SCS…I can’t remember when you started the blog – it might have been very shortly after I found you on sCS. I shared your blog with my son who is 16 and into photography. You had a little section telling about photographs several months ago and it was great so I thought he might learn from your tips!!
The date would be October 15th (guessing, randomly)….2006
I’ve only just found you today – followed a link from another blog who had you at the top of their list!
January 6th, 2008 at 5pm East Coast Time….Today!
What a great find indeed….Lisa
*followed a link
I think October 24th was the first one that I remember. It was about a trip to the Alamo. I then fell in love with the penguins and hearing about your new job with Gina K. I’ve stopped by just about every day since. :0
Angie
Istarted reading your blog May of 2007. I love your plain and simple style.
I think it at least 3 months ago so I’ll say Sept 1
March 28, 2007
I followed a link to how you photograph your cards…from Gina K’s site, I think. I was hooked on your card designs immediately! 
Thanks for the chance at more blog candy!
Kim
I’ve been with ya since the begining, Kurtis. Remember your mom posting about you on SCS and looking you up! Have watched you grow up into a fine young man. (miss the cowboy hat picture!)
I started reading your blog regularly around December 21st. You are so inspiring!!
