Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
As of just now. . . . We have 14048 registered users. WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU! We look forward to seeing all that you have to share with us. Here are a few pointers are sharing in the gallery area:
1. Give your FILE a unique name BEFORE YOU UPLOAD IT. When you scan or take a picture of your creation, change the file name on your computer to something unique rather than a number like 1.jpg, or scan001.jpg. When files have the same generic name as others (which is the case a LOT lately), they will get removed when we scan for duplicate posts. So. . .try something like your username_petalprints1.jpg and yours won't get deleted!
2. Please CROP your picture to showcase your creation! I've re-done several uploads to focus on the card rather than the white backdrop you get when you scan. It takes a little bit of time, but the end result is that it's easier for people to appreciate the work you've done!
3. Only upload JPG FILES. Anything else will jam up your upload queue, and Daven will have to go in and fix it while you wait.
4. Watch your FILE SIZE. Max size for the gallery is 640x480 pixels, but the gallery software will take care of that for you if you are unsure about reducing yourself. Mainly what you get through doing it yourself is shorter upload time (because the files are smaller when reduced). By tweaking the images yourself you also have to opportunity to do any color correction, cropping etc. that you want.
5. When you upload your creation, PUT THE FILE IN A SPECIFIC GALLERY. Anything you upload will automatically be loaded into your Member Gallery. We have galleries by set, by technique, by type of creation (anything but a card, scrapbooking, events, stampin' spaces, etc). . . and if there is not a gallery that fits, leave it in your member gallery. We'll move it if we see a place for it, but prefer that you categorize them for us!
6. Fill out the Stamps, Ink, Paper, Technique, Accessories Fields! The more complete your information the easier it is for others to find your work.
WHEW! If you'd like to read more on how you can make the gallery experience better, read this article Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for your help with getting the uploads approved and in the gallery faster!
Jenn, you are so clever! Who else couldn't resist? I'm glad you're not wearring a trench coat to either flash or sell hot watches. Think I spent too much time in the city?
I had to look as well. It reminded me of the old Sesame street shows, where there is the trench coat guy selling letters to Earnie. So call me young at heart! LOL
Welcome to everyone. We are so glad you found this site. It's the best on the web with lots of new samples daily! Lots of them!!!! And not only that but wonderful people that answer any question you might have and chat with you all day long!
Oh Jenn your tooo cleaver :lol: :lol: Psst! :lol: I'll have to remember that.
Thank for all the great info, I have noticed a bunch of new uploads that don't have the recipe with them, it's always nice to know what people used, so when I have to CASE it, I'll know!
yep, here I am, had to take a peek!!! :lol: :lol:
Thanks for the reminders...I'll be adding to me gallery as soon as I get stamping the end of this month when life slows down a bit!
