You can Ask PaperCraftCentral Susan your questions paper crafting!

Do you know? Most people new to the paper craft world have many questions, and every time a new technique or product comes out, I do too. That's why I love an excuse to check out new things and help connect people with information.

I also love learning. I think a person needs to learn something new every day, for life.

Learning anything new takes time and attention. You can't know everything all at once when you start a new hobby. I think that's why paper crafting has held my attention for so long. I am always learning new things, and enjoying the creating too.

Here's a place to have some of your paper craft questions answered, AND have a chance to contribute your ideas as suggestions for new content at PaperCraftCentral!

If your question is something that others may be asking, I will probably feature it somewhere on this website. How would you like to be part of creating material on the web? (Just say so in your question if you do not wish to be acknowledged though. There can be all sorts of reasons why you may not want your name published, of course, though I can always just use your first name and your country of origin if that helps).

The important thing is to have a place where you can get Susan to answer your papercraftng questions, then we can share that information with others. I love the community aspect of paper crafting. CASE (Copy and Share Everything) holds true in this lovely creative world!
