CENTRE STAGE is an innovative concept dreamed up by Artfull Crafts to give YOU  exposure to different brands each month! For the month of May we are thrilled to welcome Ruby Rock-It and Fynmark into the spotlight.

Fynmark is an Australian company encompassing papercrafting lines Ruby Rock-It, Bella and Fundamentals. Ruby Rock-It was launched in August 2011 with their own dedicated blog and Facebook Page so you can keep up-to-date with their products and news.

Ruby Rock-It lives by their motto: "Scrapping is love made visible!" During June, we'll be meeting more of the Ruby Rock-It Team, creating kits and will be swapping Design Team members during the month!! Our Design Team will also bring you daily crafting inspiration on our blog. Sandy Ang (one of the Artfull Crafts designers) is on the Ruby Rock-It Design Team and she brings a fabulous fresh approach to papercrafting. We're lucky to have her on board!

Keep watching the website to see the new ranges coming into store this month. Nostalgia, Vintage Chic, Paper Boy and Paper Girl will be here soon. We've already received the English-themed Vintedge range and know that it will be popular.

WIN VINTEDGE PAPERS To celebrate the launch of our June CENTRE STAGE, we want to give away a set of Vintedge Embossed Stickers. It's easy to win! You just need to go to either Artfull Crafts blog or Facebook Page and leave a message/comment with the words CENTRE STAGE or RUBY ROCK-IT somewhere in it!  Please do this by midnight Wednesday 6th June. Internationals are welcome.
