Ok, wasn’t really in a scrapping kind of mood, nothing was working in the forums and I just couldn’t leave any love. I had gotten something uploaded from my photobucket acct. and then something caught my eye. It was a Snoopy Halloween thingy. I tried and tried to get it to fit on my blog along the side. As you can see it’s not there. I ended up browsing through phtotbucket and picking out some stuff I kinda liked or thought was funny. Once I got them all here, I thought wow, I wonder how this would effect the copywrite and digital piracy issues. As you can see, I kept them all here. Now my question is are photos (and other stuff like this) that are available on sites like photobucket without copywrite issues? Am I breaking the “digital piracy” code? How can you tell who to actually credit on stuff like this. Everything on this page is on photobucket at least 3 different times with as many posters. Now, I understand if I had seem something scraprelated or that could have been done by a scrap designer, I would have searched out the correct credits or left it alone. But didn’t someone work hard on all of these? Don’t they deserve the credit? Was it just passed along in an email, someone saw it, liked it and took it for their email? Ok. enough with my rambelings. Go ahead and look at all the others I found. You know you want to. If I get too much response that I’m out of line by leaving them here, I will go ahead and pull the post. I’m bored and in a bad mood.

My friend Fantacy of Scrappin Hillbilly Sweetpea Designs has a new freebie on her blog. It’s an add on to her ‘Fraidy Cat & Hallow-tween kits. Some cute stickers and another great paper. Fantacy’s family just suffered a tragic loss and she could use our prayers and some lovin now.

Stop by her blog by clicking on the preview on the right and pick up that adorable freebie.

I mentioned on Tuesday about the wonderful challenges over at DSO. Heather Manning runs one over there called the “Book Of Me” because all too often we scrap the ones we love most and rarely ever do we see ourselves in our layouts. This months BOM as we call it is about what we are going to be or do for Halloween. I keep forgetting to bring my camera to work to take a picture of me sitting at my desk. Cuz that’s what I’ll be doing for Halloween- working. How’s this for an excuse - the girl at our other office has to have 1/2 day off because they close down her town for the Halloween celebration. I think she just wants to be able to take her son Trick or Treating. Now that I can understand, just say it. Anyway, the preview on the right is Heather’s layout for her challenge. (click on lo for credits). The next preview is Heather’s fantastic kit,

Dirt Don’t Hurt. It’s available at DSO and it is wonderful for those nature layouts. She’s working on a new one - I could give you a hint, but she might fire me. lol. But it will be dirty, yet girly. (oppps did I say that out loud?)

Here’s the second part to KimB’s glitter freebie from yesterday.

Just for the Scrap of It is having a design contest. They choose Heritage papers for their first round. Now there are at least 11 designs (and counting) in the gallery now and I think that voting starts on 10/7 but there are just a bunch of freebies just waiting there to be taken.

I don’t know if there was a color scheme that went with the “theme”, but I would have to say yes, since all the previews have greens and purples in them. Here is my favorite. I love the plates in the elements, I think it’s very original. And I’m not saying that because the designer is a regular here at my blog. I REALLY liked this one best. No matter what I think, go over and check out what is being offered. There will be at least 3 that you like.

I know I’ve forgotten something really important, but work is starting to pile up so I better go ahead and get this done. I hope that you all have a great day.

Until next time, scrap happy!
