KYLIE KINGHAM
My name is Kylie and I’m from a small but picturesque country town in the Central West of New South Wales. Here I live with my husband, two children and a tiny rescued puppy named Maximus.
I had a very brief start to scrapbooking 15 years ago which didn’t last too long. I then rediscovered it 4 years ago and have since developed one enormous passion for paper crafting. I enjoy creating across all platforms: scrapbooking, pocket pages, cards, mixed media canvases and off the page projects. In the past few years I have been very fortunate to be able to share my creativity both in Australia and overseas. I’m hugely passionate about helping others start their own paper crafting adventures through education and inspiration.
When I’m not scrapbooking I enjoy photography, long walks and spending time with family.
Hello creative friends, my name is Hetty, born and raised in The Netherlands I came to Australia late 1989. I live in a small seaside town in Queensland with my husband of 29 years and our three teenage girls.
I have been paper crafting since 2004 and my style is constantly changing while I teach myself new techniques and try to stay up to date with the latest trends. My signature technique would have to be ‘fussy cutting’, and I try to incorporate it with inks and sprays and the many gorgeous flowers and metal dies on the market these days.
In the past I have enjoyed designing for a number of Australian companies as well as several online brick and mortar stores. I have had several of my layouts published in Australian magazines as well as overseas. In 2009 I was extremely fortunate to have been chosen as one of Scrapbooking Memories Magazine ‘Masters’, such an exciting experience.
After a bit of a break for about a year or so, I am now designing for USA based 49 and Market as well as the Australian based Dusty Attic Chipboard. I also got invited back on the Kaisercraft Design Team this year, so I am a very fortunate girl.
I love my creative time away from the hustle and bustle off everyday life and I am very excited and humbled to have been asked to join the Uniquely Creative – Creative Kit Club and I look forward to share my creations with you as well as get to know everyone in the UC Community.
Happy Crafting!
YVETTE FANCIULLI
Hi! My name is Yvette. I’m mum to 3 daughters and a Devon Rex cat called Polly.
I have loved anything crafty since I was a child. I’ve been scrapbooking and card making for over 10 years, after stumbling upon a small boutique in Cairns, full of beautiful paper and trims. This is where I went to my first card making class and was instantly inspired.
After we moved to Brisbane and my girls started school, I worked and taught classes at a local scrapbooking store. I was totally obsessed with all the beautiful paper goodness, and I still am today.
For me, it's the mixture of memory keeping and creativity that I enjoy… I find it therapeutic with the added bonus of keeping track of memories and details we can often forget.
I would describe my scrapbooking style as eclectic, colourful and sometimes quirky – and always evolving.
Papercraft is my favourite thing to do and I try and get to my desk everyday, as I’m happiest there. Add some coffee and chocolate and I’m in bliss
SIANN WATTS

I have a keen interest in all things creative; from scrapbooking, painting, drawing, illustration, portraiture, photography to sculpture. I have had a love for scrapbooking for the last 16 years and am very excited to be joining the Uniquely Creative Design Team. I’m looking forward to creating some beautiful keepsakes with the amazing UC Kits.

SHANNAH BARTLE
I live in the beautiful Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, among rolling hills and boutique wineries, with my police officer hubby Colin and my fur-baby Poppy. I'm lucky enough to have turned my crafting hobby into my ‘day job’, working as an Assistant Editor & Photographer for Practical Publishing UK for the last 5 years on magazines like Australian Simply Cards, Papercraft Essentials and Cardmaking in Easy Steps, and currently, Love Cardmaking International magazine. I have been a regular designer and contributor for all these magazines and many others, and still love coming up with new ideas and trying new techniques and trends! I have been on the Design Team for Uniquely Creative for many years, and for the last year have joined the company as Creative / DT Coordinator and magazine editor, a role I am absolutely loving!
I like to keep it interesting by crafting all styles from vintage shabby chic to modern clean and simple.
JO HERBERT
I am a paper crafter from the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. Mum of 3, wife and Instagram addict. My style is always evolving as I get too tempted with current trends and new products. Card making and scrapbooking has been such an important part of my life for so many years now and I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing where it has taken me. From the early years of plenty of colour and bold embellishments, my style has changed and developed over the years and I now believe I am more about embracing white space and bringing the card to life with small pops of colour.
RACHEL LOWE
Hello crafty friends, Rachel here and I live in a small coastal town, Busselton in Western Australia.
I am married and the mother of 3 boys, 1 girl, 2 dogs and 3 cats (yes my house is wonderfully crazy!!!).
I have been a Registered Nurse for my entire working life and love my vocation.
I am a lover of all things paper but my crafting journey started with Folk Art painting and quilting.
I have been scrapbooking for 13 years now and I would classify my style as contemporary/classic. I am a lover of clean lines, negative space, embellishment clustering, sewing on my layouts and using cut files and die cuts.
I also love creating cards, OTP projects, and 3D paper crafts.
Photography is also a great passion of mine and there would not be a day that passes where I do not snap a photo!
I am so thrilled to be joining the Uniquely Creative Kit Club DT and being a part of such wonderful creative talents!

Hi! My name is Rachel Dutko and I live in Adelaide with my hubby, our 2 boys, and one black and white cat. I’ve been scrapbooking for about 6 years. I love using mixed media, texture, and learning new techniques. I think my style is fun, bright, and sometimes messy, 'boy' pages. I mostly create 12x12 layouts, but I also like to create cards, tags, art journal pages, canvasses and OTP projects.

I started out as a scrapbooker, but after creating too many pages to store them, I changed over to cardmaking and never looked back.

I have been scrapbooking for 18yrs, as it’s my passion. It allows me to escape when I need to, relive beautiful memories and my boys love what I create. Having a creative outlet keeps me happy, occupied and I love inspiring others to have a go at something outside of their box. I am lucky to have a supportive hubby and two boys 19yrs and 13yrs old who love to see what I create.
I am also on the Design Team for 2Crafty chipboard which I have been enjoying for almost 18 months.

JULIE SCHINKEL
Hi, I’m Julie and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I was first introduced to the world of scrapbooking in 2011. I needed a new hobby so Mum and I went along to a beginners class to see what it was all about. The rest, as they say, is history. I was hooked! Since then, I've done Off the Page items/homewares, card making, mini albums, accredited colourist with both Spectrum Noir and Copic (Intermediate), mixed media and more recently art journaling. I’ve also been on a few design teams and designed for a local scrapbook store.
My scrapbooking style depends on what type of products I'm using at the time. It can range from clean and simple, colourful and bright, shabby chic to full mixed media. My current style is using lots of layers and die cuts/ephemera. Because more is more! When designing for a company, I like to focus mainly on the brand that I am designing with, rather than mixing brands and hiding it under lots of other products. I tend to use a lot of selfies especially with Snapchat filters. Most of us nowadays are using fun filters on our photos, so why not scrapbook them?
I’m so excited and honoured to be designing for Uniquely Creative and creating with this amazing team. I’m looking forward to creating and sharing lots of inspiration for you this year.
LISA AMIET
My name is Lisa Amiet. I am Mum to two wonderful children, and wife to one very patient husband :) We live with our two fur babies in sunny Brisbane.
I have been scrapbooking for more than 15 years now and I still love everything about it. I love playing with pretty things and trying out new techniques. My favourite part of all has to be all the wonderful people that I have met along the way, and am lucky enough to have as friends! My style is constantly evolving depending on what I am working on and the mood I am in at the moment, but you can always count on lots of layers!
I am so excited to be joining the Uniquely Creative Design Team and I can't wait to start creating some gorgeous layouts to share with you!

I started scrapbooking sixteen years ago, when my eldest daughter Abi was a baby, and I’ve never looked back. I love the creative outlet that it provides, as well as the fact that I’m documenting my family’s precious memories.

My name is Melanie Parnell, I am a high school teacher who teaches all subjects which require creativity. I have loved to design since I was young, and lucky for me, I’ve made it my job. I am doing my best to raise 4 wonderful kids but I really can’t forget the menagerie of animals that fill our home which we all so adore. Scrapbooking has been a long and exciting journey for me, it brings together all the things that I value in my life photos, memories and family/ friends. I cannot wait for the next chapter in this journey to begin. -Mel

SAMANTHA KLAEBE
Hello, I’m Samantha. I’m from South Australia. Any spare time I have, you’ll find me in my craft room creating cards! I’ve always been a creative person – so I find real joy in making cards, not necessarily for anyone, but because it allows me to express myself creatively and even emotionally. It’s very relaxing at the end of a crazy day to just sit down (in the quiet) and concentrate on nothing else but colour combos and stamp placement. If I’m not in my craft room then you‘d find me chasing after my young family of three.
I look forward to being part of the Uniquely Creative Kit Club Design Team!
NGAIRE ASHDOWN
Hi, I’m Ngaire and I live in Adelaide, South Australia. I’m married to John and we have 2 grown up boys, Daniel and Thomas and a lovely daughter-in-law, Renee.
I have been a paper crafter since 1996 after my Mum introduced me to rubber stamping and gold embossing! Although I still love making cards, I also do scrapbooking, mixed media, beyond the page, art journaling and colouring with watercolours and Copic Markers. I love getting messy with my art supplies!
I’d call my style eclectic as I love to experiment and try lots of different ideas. One of my favourite quotes is: “A ship in the harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” This inspires me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things and have fun along the way.
It’s so exciting to be on the Uniquely Creative Design Team this year… I hope you will enjoy my creations and they inspire you to create.
JULIA PERSICO
Hi! I'm Julia, from country Victoria, and I’m so excited to craft with you all!
Like many, my crafting journey started sitting around a neighbour's dining room table with a group of like-minded strangers, learning about this new wiz-bang thing called scrapbooking with Creative Memories.
How the industry has changed over the years! I'm proud to have had my works published in several leading Scrapbooking magazines, and from starting as a craft student to becoming a craft teacher myself. I have designed and taught classes at scrapbooking stores and also demonstrated at 'make and take' tables at various craft shows and Spotlight stores.
My venture into Design Teams started at Meg's Garden, where you can see my work in bloom, and you'll also find me on Instagram @Julia688. I love creating with all different styles and mediums and pushing my comfort zone.
I'm a firm believer in there's no 'right and wrong' in scrapbooking and card making - just creative experiments!!
I am absolutely thrilled to be returning to the Uniquely Creative Design Team in 2021!
