It's funny because I have been lifting layouts this year because of lack of time to creatively put something together but I feel guilty posting it on my blog because I forget who I lifted it from so I simply say it was lifted from kit club site but I don't give full credit to that person. I will definitely try Tumblr. Since I've lifted I've done over twice as much scrapbooking since the entire last year. If it works, it works..

(ok maybe you do) how much i needed this. i'm new to scrapbooking and it's hard for me to come up with ideas because i'm not a natural at this i just enjoy it. i feel like i would be cheating if i lifted but not anymore. i feel liberated haha. thank you for this.Amylucimarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301395065330550627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721819621084036652.post-33959818628418381952010-05-12T03:38:50.076-05:002010-05-12T03:38:50.076-05:00Well said!!

When I finally clear some space and create, it is usually because I saw something else---a photo or layout or color scheme---that speaks to me and won't be ignored. I'm very grateful for lifting as well as inspiration (2 different things).<br /><br />At the same time, people should be aware of how much we soak in what we see and might not even be aware of where what we create comes from---or how fluid/contagious ideas are. I fully expected Francine's layout to have been inspired by Susan W's layout from Quilting Bee (which I remembered because I know I plan to lift it). I think they share more in common than the one Francine chose to lift from, but she may never have even seen it.Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528255476724005936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721819621084036652.post-34270282135738913752010-05-11T12:58:06.249-05:002010-05-11T12:58:06.249-05:00What a great read and great examples of what needs...What a great read and great examples of what needs to be credited and how to go about it.

If I am inspired by a layout in a public gallery like Studio Calico's for instance, is it all right to link to it in a post on my blog about my layout that I created as a lift, without asking permission as long as I give credit to the creator by name. Or do I always need to ask permission before posting links? Is it any different for layouts done by design team members? Thanks in advance for your help.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721819621084036652.post-40716834678003150262010-05-11T10:57:59.457-05:002010-05-11T10:57:59.457-05:00A good (thought provoking) blog entry but i think ...A good (thought provoking) blog entry but i think the "giving credit" to a layout that inspired you is a little stretched--especially if if just got "your juices flowing." Now, certainly if a page is a direct lift one should give appropriate credit. But, if I see a monochromatic page in hues of red and I create a monochromatic page in green -- should i give credit. I don't think so. Furthermore there are some sketches that are simply recycled time and time again. I think the line is hazy and could/should try not to "plagiarize" another's artistic work. But there are limits. I appreciate the effort and the tone of the blog entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721819621084036652.post-18772425446653980162010-05-11T10:56:47.308-05:002010-05-11T10:56:47.308-05:00Fab post!
