How to Help Build This Site

Hi, paper crafters!

I'd love for you to help us share ideas and suggestions and become even more of an online community of inspiration. Ideas are for sharing, right? I'm always thinking about different ways we can help each other out with our paper crafting.

There are actually several ways you can contribute to PaperCraftCentral and help grow our community. 

Way One: Suggest new content:

• Is there a papercraft technique or project you would like to know more about? 
• Is there a papercraft tool you want to know more about? 
• Want to know more about Stampin' Up! products? 
• Ask me to build a page about it and show you a project based on your idea.
• Please upload a clear picture or two of your project where possible. I will consider all submissions about papercrafting for publication.

Way Two: Show a technique spotlight:

• Do you have a new papercraft idea or technique to showcase? Share an example!
• Did you follow one of my tutorials on PaperCraftCentral.com? I'd love to see what you made! Others will appreciate your work too, I am sure.
  

I'm always looking for ways to help people enjoy making cards and scrap their memories or making three dimensional projects out of paper. You could have the inspiration I'm looking for, especially if your project mainly features Stampin' Up! products.

In return for sharing your own work or questions, your submission could be published here and your friends and family would have a chance to comment on your projects. You could become more famous! Lol! Well, in other words, the papercraft community in general could get to know more about your work as lots of people call in here to see what's new.

As well as helping me, you could be published on the web and get some recognition for your work. That's at least two benefits for just one submission. Wouldn't that be nice?

Please do note: I do not publish submissions that blatantly self-promote other sites or events. That said:

• You are welcome to add watermarks to link your your photos to your site, in case people want to see more of your work, but do not include these site links (or any other links) in your comments. They will be deleted and/or your submission may not be accepted.
  
• If you do have a collaboration in mind, you can contact me about it to discuss it before publishing anything, OK?

Please feel free to ask me a question or send me some information about your own paper craft projects.

And please do share any pages you see here with your friends and family if you know it will help them with their crafting.

May you (and your cat or dog, of you have one or more) have an inspired day at your craft desk! As promised, there's more about my puppy below.

PS: How do you share your craft desk with a kitty? My dogs can't jump on my desk, but a cat goes where s/he wants to go! Lol!

How My Papercraft Dog Helps Me Build This Site

You would be helping me out if you contributed, but more than my dog ​​did when he was a puppy. He liked to chew things rather than build them. That's him up above about to fall asleep in my papercraft bin. Looking at my little companion was about the only thing he knew how to help build PaperCraftCentral.com, but that was a help sometimes. He never criticized my work either. That's worth a lot.

Yes, he climbed into that bin by himself and went to sleep there! I guess he just wanted to be next to me, as I was crafting at the table beside him.

Now please excuse me for a moment. My puppy grew up while I was developing this site. He wants to be in my chair with me while I papercraft these days rather than in the bin. I'm just going to lift him into that chair before I get back to crafting!

Here is the place for you to add your own suggestions and ideas to help build this site:
