We are so fortunate at Artfull Crafts to have an active, talented Design Team. For a whole year we have enjoyed the variety from papercrafters across NZ and the world. This week is the final week for the current team - and next week there will be a day dedicated to each member that we are farewelling.

We will say goodbye to Louise Forsyth, Lindsey March and Lisa Skinner. We are so grateful for their contribution and know that they will be keeping in touch with us. These girls have worked hard and we wish them all the best for their craft careers!


Besty and Christine will stay on the team as they form part of a local teaching unit that we intend to expand. Sandy is also staying on as a Design Team member who will continue to feature on Manufacturer's blogs as part of our monthly Centre Stage promotions. Lowri will continue to be the DT Marketing Manager. We appreciate the effort everyone puts in and look forward to their contributions for another year.

So that leaves a few available spaces for YOU! We have been receiving some wonderful submissions and feel honoured that you want to partner with us. The applications close on midnight August 3rd. Click here to read more about the Design Team Callout. We will look over the submissions, and will make contact over the following 7-10 days to let applicants know whether they have been successful. Then we'll make the announcement and launch the new Gallery after that.

Next week, be sure to tune in to our farewells, as there will be some chances to win prizes!
We'll also be announcing the July Challenge winners and the new Challenge for August in the next couple of days.

Have a great week watching the Olympics!
