Designer: Ria Van Son

My name is Ria van Son and I am from the Netherlands. I am so thrilled that Helene picked me for the Alota Design Team. I share my life with hubby(more then 26 years) and our English Cocker Spaniel Seven who really is a handfull of trouble. I still believe we should have called her Tinkerbell. That fits her much more. In 2007 I saw some blogs with the most amazing cards made with Stamps and all kinds of embellies and knew right away that I wanted to do something like that. I was at that moment looking for a new hobby as I had to quit my PolymerClay addiction due Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on both hands. Didnt wanted to go thru a 4th operation so I decided to stop it and search for something else that would not be so hard for my hands. And I am enjoying my Stamps and Papers ever since I started working with them in 2007. I learned alot in the last 3 years and am still learning alot. My latest addition is my precious Copic Airbrush System. WOW what you can do with that. Oh did I mention that I am known as the Challengeaholic by my bloggingbuddies ;) ah well there are far more worst things to be called hahahhhaa I just love to join challenges. Well I am looking forward to work with the Alota RubberStamps and hope you all enjoy my work to. hugs Ria
