Default Look Here if you need Help!

Here are my step by step directions on how to search for something. If you have a question-look first. Chances are the answer is waiting for you already! Yes, it is tricky sometimes, and you have to play with words (like cloth and fabric) to get just the right match, but most stuff you really need to know is already here! LOL Hope this helps!

if you want directions on how to do something (like use pearlex, make candles) or want a comparison on products (like classic vs. craft pads) here is how to find out the inormation:

If you have questions on a specific subject from the home page:
go to forums
and then search.
Type in a few keywords (for example pearl+ex+direction* or candle+how+to* )and click "search all terms"
The * at the end of a word allows the search to be done for all words that have similar suffixes-for example directio* will pop up threads for direction as well as directions
If you are looking for how to do something-some good words/phrases to try are:
direction*
technique*
how to*

It will bring up a lot of good threads for you to search. Sometimes you have to play with the wording until you find the right one to answer your question. For example, sometimes you have to type in pearlex instead of pearl ex, or add words in to make it more specific or more general. For example, if asking about Staz-On on wood, you might try more than Staz-On and wood-you might try something like wood boxes or even trays to get more ideas.

In the gallery, the easiest way is from the home page to go to gallery, and there is a search button there. This is where you go if you want pics of what someone is talking about. Yesterday, someone was asking about post-it note ramps from frames, for example. I went to the gallery and typed in "post* note* and found some. Yes, they were mixed in with other post-it note ideas, but I was then able to narrow down my search by adding another word (I think frame?) Anyway, you get the idea.


Okay-I hope that helps, at least a little. Another note-when you want written direction, search the forums
When you want visuals, search the gallery
