As you may or may not know, last month we launched the NEW Paper It Fun! Discussion Forum and we're excited about providing a place for the PaperIllusion community to associate. As an incentive we are offering free switchplates to the first ten people who share their personal experience with PaperIllusion under one of the following categories: Quick Crafts, Creative Projects, Decorating Tips & Ideas, Problem Surface Areas, Testimonials and Feedback & Comments.

Our intention is to prime the forum discussions and help you interact with others who genuinely enjoy working with PaperIllusion. If you have any questions as to how to use the forum, don't hesitate to contact me, and I'll walk you through it. It's really easy.

If you want to be included in the free switch plate offer, you will need to contact me with your full name & address and which category your post was in. I will get back with you to determine which color/pattern you want your switchplate in, and we'll get them out to you right away. Limit: 2 single or 1 double switch plate.
