**IMPORTANT NOTICE**

*** IF YOU MAKE A DONATION TO THE 'LOTS OF LOVE FOR LAURYN' CAMPAIGN TO PURCHASE DIGITAL STAMP SETS, PLEASE READ THIS.......

we have a bit of a problem that is going to get me in huge huge huge trouble with the artists, so I need to address it here. sorry to be a Debbie Downer .....

the artists who have created these images did so with the intent that they would be used solely to raise money for Lauryn and her family. if you want to post something on your blog or in other social media, PLEASE either use a watermarked version or post the blog badge that has been shared below. anything else is in violation of the terms of use.

granted, you did not receive a 'terms of use' document with your images with your donation, but the artists do have them on their store blogs. and more artists are in the process of creating images for us as I type.  

I am horrified to think that their generosity would be abused by having images of theirs given away for free. I'm sure it is nothing more than an oversight, but please understand the difficult position this places those of us in who are trying to do an act of kindness.

thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

  1. This is not a problem at all Jennifer. Thank you so much for explaining. I am sure there are many like my self who aren't that familiar with digis and I can see exactly what you and the artists are talking about. I am going to donate and I will have a link to your blog for people to donate. Is anyone letting Splitcoast Stampers know about this. They have a tremendous following. I will also put it on my Facebook page. My thoughts and prayers are sending that whole family strength and well wishes. I am going to try and get a card off to her soon and to her parent too!!
