Faith has been part of the crafting industry for many years, with her laser cut projects and embellishments. She loves projects that use chipboards and laser cuts in unique ways and cant wait to share her project with you.

I enjoy sharing my papercraft passion with fellow crafters and am a big fan of mini albums that are constructed from scratch. I have been designing kits and teaching workshops for Scrapbook Central since opening in 2003. Wow where do the years go!

I love colour, pattern and texture and how they work together and am always amazed how you can give 10 people the same paper and they all end up creating something completely different. That’s the fun of creativity!  I especially love sharing in people’s lives through the projects they make and really appreciate the amazing supportive community that comes with papercrafting.

Megan from Stampin' Up! has been teaching papercraft classes for 25 years with a specialty for simple yet stunning art.

HI Im Melissa Kennedy. (Mel) based in Geelong, Australia, I'm the creative behind Unmistakable Creations, where I design my unique papers and kits for scrapbooking and papercrafts. With a heart for storytelling and a passion for helping others document their lives, I teach classes both on land and at sea—often leading craft cruises filled with inspiration and laughter. My style blends creativity with meaning, encouraging makers to celebrate everyday moments alongside life's big events. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned crafter, I look forward to sharing with you my two latest collections, a few techniques, tips, and a good dose of fun. Let's create something memorable together!

Hi I’m Leonie the Owner of Zippy Laser Designs.  I like most crafting and like to cross over crafts at times. Mixed media is a love along with mini albums. I enjoy adding fabric in with my paper crafting and even some stitching along the way. I also enjoy teaching others and showing them they can do things they didn’t think they could.
