I've decided to go ahead and keep the blog page up and going. After much debate and friendly advice from other's who have brought the copying of artwork and so forth to my attention, I've decided why shut down my page.
I started this blog well over a year and a half ago, because of my love of scrapbooking and stamping and the need and desire to share with others. That's one of the reasons I joined Close To My Heart, not to make a profit, but to do something I really enjoy, teaching and scrapbooking. Why should I let someone else try and take that from me?
As several wonderful and smarter people than I have stated "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." With that said I am very flattered, I have so much creativity going on inside of my head that I can't keep it straight, or even sometimes sleep at night, so why not share it with those who "don't have a creative bone in there body," or for those that need the extra umph for there artwork.
So keep on copying my artwork just remember where you get it because if you don't others will. Professionalism should always be first and fore most in everyone's mind. It's common courtesy to give credit where credit is due, I always have and always will. If I get an idea from someone elses artwork I will always provide a hyper link to that person's project, so make sure you go and check them out also. Oh and if you decided to use one of my projects for your own creativity send me a link or a picture of it, I'd love to see your take on my material.
I've also come up with a great idea to start in June, keep watch for what that will be, I'm sure everyone will want to join in on the fun!
Have a great day, and keep watch for some wonderful new, and "Original" ideas to come. I'm loaded with them.
Your friend and idea central!

Amber,
I am so happy that you have decided to stay! As I have stated on my blog - there are very few places to turn to in my tiny northern corner in Vermont. My inspiration and lessons come from my internet connections. Your work is inspiring and I appreciate what you offer to those of us 'without a creative bone'. I believe in respect and your post was well stated.
I'm glad you've decided to stay too. Your artwork is always a such great inspiration that I've nominated you for a blog award. Visit me to check it out.
