Hello Again

Things have been very busy in my life with personal "issues", lately, so I am glad I had made a commitment to this blog. I have been somewhat "absent" from the scrapping world, but I did find some time to create a 4th of JULY freebie for you. You can see the preview AFTER you read my "story" for today.

I want to talk a bit about TOU's. I awoke this morning in the middle of a dream about scrapping. Apparently, though, I was semi-awake, cause I was thinking about sharing this story with you today. When I began digi scrapping, I decided it was very necessary to ORGANIZE my kits, etc. At that time, I downloaded a lot of designer freebies, but really had no idea what to do with them except create layouts. Of course, I was very happy to do that, having tons of photos of my new granddaughter. WELL, in the midst of all this "organizing", I decided all those "read me" and "tou" files had no IMPORTANCE, and thus, DELETED them all. I had never heard of PIRACY, nor did I understand COPYWRITING. So, as my learning curve grew, I discovered organizing AND giving credit was an on-going process. I now actually have a folder which contains ALL tou's from my fav designers, as well as MY OWN, for immediate reference. The designers put so much creativity, time and effort, into their creations, they should ALWAYS be credited in YOUR layouts, kit designs, etc. Hope this story brought you a few laughs and some information you may not have been aware of.

As promised, here is the preview for your FREEBIE!
