As of December 1, 2009, new FTC guidelines went into effect requiring bloggers to disclose any time they are compensated for endorsing or reviewing products or services.
I serve on several design teams and participate in various social media sites where I post projects containing components I have receive free, have been compensated for or have received in return for posts/reviews and general posting on this blog.
While this may be the case, I would never endorse or mislead you, my readers, by stating an opinion about any product that I did not wholeheartedly believe. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about any post or product I use in any of my projects. Now - back to your regularly scheduled blog post.
In full disclosure, the following are a list of companies and organizations that may play a significant roll regarding the content of this blog: I {Heart} Papers, Paper Craft Planet, Stampendous and Waltzingmouse Stamps.
I'm always flattered and humbled when someone enjoys, and is inspired by, my projects enough to want to create something similar. However, it is not flattering to find that someone has copied my exact work for their own personal gain, such as submission of copied work, passed off as your own either on your own blog, in galleries, magazines, e-zines for competitions or for sale. This constitutes an infringement of my copyrights.
