Week 2: Elements!

[sweethussie]

Hey Designers, was just wondering if I could make an important suggestion? I do love downloading all your kits but if you want proper credit I have to suggest this. Sorry if I'm out of line here I'm no designer.
Could you please put your name or initials not only on the zip file but also on each item in that folder; They should really have your name or your initials and possibly the name of the kit or contest name. (eg: piggyscraps_forever_papers or LDS-Forever). Especially your TOU should have your name on the file name. eg: (Cindyrelly_TOU or CW_TOU)
Just a suggestion, thanks, sweethussie.

Joan - that is a VERY good suggestion! I hope I named mine right, I never did check that before I uploaded :eek:

TOU's are also very important... that way, your designs will not be misused, either on purpose or accidentally! Just a simple notepad file that says "these designs are for personal use only please" with your name and link to your blog if you have one is all that is needed!

Well it's official, I'm off to Stirling castle tomorrow so wish me luck. Need celtic inspiration, and what better than a medieval castle (according to my 8 yr old who was there on a school trip).

I am completely jealous! Where exactly is this castle located ? Are you in Europe ? I dream of visiting a castle, but so far, I've only lived vicariously through Toiny's photos!!

Sorry. I live in the UK, and the place is full of castles. I live in Scotland and Stirling is up north a little past Edinburgh.

Great list, Tracy! I have a similar one that I use all the time - I have it printed out and hanging near my computer. It never fails to provide inspiration in moments of need!

[bmascari]

Tracy, thanks for the list - that's a keeper!

[Marilyng]

Good Morning Ladies,
Do you consider word art an element or is that in a class by itself?
