design Team
The Design Team is a group of talented artists who have committed to creating with my stamps and stencils over the years. Each have brought my designs to life using their own unique perspectives, techniques and styles. I am so very thankful for having known these lovely people and for the endless inspiration that they've brought myself and my customers.
Their art is showcased in the slideshows below, in the product galleries within my shop, and on every other social media site that I maintain. I've included links to each of their blogs below. I'm sure that each of them would love a visit and be open to any questions that you might have.

Alie Hoogenboezem-de Vries
Netherlands I am almost 61 years, a woman, happily married for 41 years, a mother, grandmother of 3, and staff of 2 cats...and stamp addict! My stamping life started in 2009, very careful, with little material and just a few stamps. But since then stamping became a real passion! I'm not a real technique stamper, I "just go with the flow"...Sometimes an idea comes into my head...and it always becomes different than I had thought. But most of the times I sit down, look around and get inspired by a colour or a stamp. And just start a creation, wondering when it's finished that it looks how it looks...I mostly love to make cards or other creations, without pressure, but with loads of feelings. And of course I like to visit blogs and Pinterest and enjoy the work of so many awesome stamping ladies (sorry guys...I rarely see you :-)). This year I won the Dutch poster contest from the Art Specially Event...to my surprise. That was a touching moment...that the judges had chosen my stamped card as the best of all the entries. In the last years I also was asked 3 times to be guest designer at De Stempelwinkel and at Our Creative Corner. At this moment I'm a member of the Stampinback.nl design team. |
I am really honoured that Ryn asked me to be a member of her Design Team and have had lots of fun, creating with her gorgeous stamps, "Designs by Ryn". All the stamps are so detailed and unique... And I hope, you can enjoy my makes! Ryn, many thanks for this great opportunity...it's my pleasure to play with your lovely stamps! And of course I will use them over and over again!! Kindest regards, Alie :-)

Anja Hardenfels
Germany Hello, my name is Anja. I was born into an artist family already with a colorful brush behind the ear. My parents, grandfather, uncle, aunt and cousins are all studied painters. They made a living as art teachers or as freelance designers. Growing up in this environment I have painted as long I can remember. In 1996, I saw a stamping workshop and it happened - I decided that I wanted to stamp too! I learned more and more, and soon some stamp producers asked me to design for them. During that time I designed more than 1200 motifs for different stamp companies. Now I lead a stamping forum in Germany. I'm glad to have found Ryn's beautiful stamps because they are so inspiring and I'm happy to be added as a member of the wonderful Design Team. www.artefaktotum.blogspot.de |

Kellie Colegrove
United States When I am not working or spending quality time with my 3 boys, ages 23, 11 and 9, you will likely find me in my studio working on my next crafting project, jewelry design or mixed media art journal page. I am the owner of InsideOut Field Services, a professional lender services business. I have over 25 years in the lender services and collections business and starting my own successful servicing business over 9 years ago was a dream come true. It's not all rainbows and butterflies of course but that is where my artistic passion comes in to play to level things out. I also own a small online store called Designs by Kellie that I am excited about taking to the next level in the coming months. My amazing husband, who is my soul mate and best friend, keeps me grounded and after all these years of working together and raising our family together, we still LIKE each other. Loving someone is easy. LIKING someone is another story entirely. All my boys are champions and they make me whole. |
I've been sharing tutorials and fun creations on YouTube for about 4 years now. I also organized a Google+ community called The ICWIC Crew where we share mixed media projects to inspire each other. The crafting community that I have been fortunate enough to be part of never ceases to amaze me with their kindness and support. I've made some amazing friendships on YouTube that I am very grateful for. I was absolutely honored to be invited to be a Design Team Member for Ryn Tanaka with Designs by Ryn.com. I have been admiring her stamps for quite some time and I'm proud to demonstrate how I use her high quality products for you.

Shirley Deatcher
Canada I live with my great husband and 2 spoiled cats in a peaceful hamlet in Ontario, Canada. After making the big decision to leave the stress & long hours of a sales position in the automotive industry, I started my passion with card making. I've always enjoyed creative activities, especially perennial gardening, but didn't always have the time for them. During a 2006 vacation in the Netherlands, my creative Aunt Saakje taught me her secrets of card-making and I haven't looked back since ! I've been blessed to have the opportunity to teach classes & design for a wonderful shop, Crop Circles & also for Designs by Ryn. Have a great day! www.papercreationsbyshirley.blogspot.com |

United Kingdom I live with my husband and two children in the pretty harbour town of Whitstable, in Kent, UK. I’m a busy working Mum and I love to ‘escape’ to my little study to get messy with inks, paints and rubber stamps! I have been making cards for over 16 years, but finding Ryn’s beautiful stamps has inspired me to try different techniques with watercolours and inks that I haven’t tried before – great fun! www.wendyscardcraft.blogspot.co.uk |
