RUBY - MY ALTER EGO

Stock has begun to be despatched out to the market and you should begin to see our great lines Vintage Beauty and Kindred Spirit in stores in the next few weeks. We've had such an overwhelming responseto the ranges and we're just thrilled you like what we have done with Ruby.

Ruby is the little sister of our BELLA! brand which is in stores nationally in Australia. I'm the Creative Director of both and live in Sydney with my DH (dear husband) and two teenage children. I am constantly in awe at the amount of product available in the USA and as a "tragic" scrapbooking addict just love visiting the USA to stock up on supplies.

For those of you who are looking for something new for your stores give us a shout and we'll get you organised with an order form - email us at admin2@fynmark.com.au. All stock is being despatched from Chicago to make it really affordable.

In the meantime we'll be sending out a newsletter later this week to show you some of the things we've been doing with the ranges downunder. Let us know if you'd like to go on the mailing list for this. It will keep you updated with what we're up to in the USA. Also check out our Australian blog for inspiration www.fynmark.blogspot.com.au - this also showcases what Ruby and BELLA! are releasing on a weekly basis.

Looking forward to talking to more of you in coming weeks. In the meantime - Happy Scrapping!

ALMOST THERE ........

We had a great time meeting many of you at CHA Anaheim in January 2009 and must admit things have not slowed down much since our return. We've been busy putting the finishing touches on projects we want to showcase to you all over the next few months and finalising production for product to head out into stores in the next few weeks. We've had a lot of stores contact us in Southern California and on the East Coast so check out your local stores for our lines early June.

(If you're a store that would like to stock some of products drop Nicole an email at admin2@fynmark.com.au and we'll get you some info on how to get some of our lines in store).

We're looking forward to meeting some of you at Creative Escape in August where Sally from Delish Designs and myself from Ruby Rock-it are collaborating on a Delish workshop with Lynette Carroll over the three days. We can't wait!

In the meantime check out the Bazzill Matchmaker site www.bazzillbasics.com/matchmaker for cardstock to match our Kindred Spirit and Vintage Beauty lines.

We'll keep this blog updated from here on in to let you know how, where and when you can get your hands on our new lines - we think you'll agree it's been worth the wait.

Have a great week scrapping!
