CASE'ing & Copying artwork from my blog...

Hi Everyone ~

We are getting another bit of snow today!  I Wish I could say I didn't have to go to work - but I did.  We didn't have to stay the whole day and our boss sent out for lunch for those of us that came it.  What a sweet heart she has.  That is why I work.  I really like my bosses.  It is really hard to find a place where you truly like your bosses.  They are good people.

I have been thinking all day about this post.  This topic has been on my heart for a long time.  I don't feel the way a large amount of others feel.  I put my creations on my blog and they are there to inspire you to create.  They are there to CASE and COPY.

I am totally aware others do not feel this way and that is okay too.  But I wanted to let all of my blog readers know how I feel.   I did ran across another Demo who felt like I did and I could not have worded this any better. So here it is in Janet's words (with her permission) ~

My philosophy, my policy ~

1.  If you choose to use my artwork for a contest or a challenge ~ congratulations for being motivated to enter I hope you win.

2.  If you choose to use my ideas to help you earn income than I am grateful I was able to help you meet your needs.

3.  Whether you decided to copy my creation exactly, tweak or modify it, whatever ~ GO FOR IT!

4.  If you choose to post it on your own blog ~ GO FOR IT!

5.  When I post artwork that is not mine (a teammate, a swap - you will need to contact that person for their permission ~ you will know when it is not mine).

6.  If you choose to credit me or link to me when using my idea ~ thank you.   You do not need to ask my permission before doing so.  

7.  If you have a great twist, variation, or improvement I would love to see what you do with what I post so feel free to share it with me at ~                       annette@ink-paper-scissors-rock.com

My request is that when you enter or use artwork for something that requires it to be your 'original' that you follow that request.  Your heart will guide you. 

I wouldn't post about a sample or idea here if I didn't want to share.   This blog is for sharing creativity and what I love.

Team:  Together Each Achieves More ~ I hope we are on the same team.

"Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one..." Eccl. 4:9

I was hoping to post a project - but my husband just got home after driving a bit in this snow.  I will spend a little time with him and will post my project in a little while.  - don't forget to check back!

Happy Stamping ~

i loved this from-the-heart perspective on sharing card ideas. so generous and giving ... thank you for allowing me to feel a little less guilty that i cannot come up with my own ideas but really enjoy the privilege of copying some wonderful and beautiful creations.
blessings, jo ann.

Annette,
Thank you and Janet,for saying this so well. I am also an S.U. Demo and I know there are some big discussions on this topic out there right now. Thanks for saying: be a team, be willing to share, don't get your feelings hurt. I agree.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Annette J.
