After you've built/assembled the paper toy/s, create or set up a scene (be creative - you can take it to the beach, the park, or wherever you do your summer activities), you then take a photo of your creation and send it to paperkrafts AT gmail.com - use "Paper Toy Summer Fun" as the Subject of your email.
I know everybody is not at the same level when it comes to building / assembling paper toys so I think a couple of weeks will be plenty enough time for you to finish.
