I truly love my card
crafting hobby. I enjoy using and learning graphics to make my cards
and framed art into works of art. These graphics include those in
computer programs and digital images that are available online. I
also use my husband's work, which he turns into graphic
illustrations. The digital images are legitimately sold for the use
of crafters for cards and scrapbooking among other crafts.

Another part of what I do
is design cards for a digital artist in exchange for the free use of
the digital images offered for sale. I've joined several challenge
blogs as a member of teams designing cards as inspiration for
crafters to compete in challenge competitions. For this I also
receive the use of digital images.
Why am I writing this
post? I am upset about the bullying that seems to be prevalent with
in the digital artist community. Stealing art or words and making
them your own is unacceptable, but to bully an artist and make life
on or off the computer a misery without proof is also unacceptable.
I believe there is room
for everyone and being a newbie should not bring pain for those just
starting out. Crafters are put off by such behavior. It certainly
takes joy out of a wonderful hobby!
One crafter said, “I don't mean that everyone has to be full of
joy and love, but common decency cost nothing.” It hurts the artists' bottom line
too!

Carla, love your beautiful card and image. I totally agree with your blog post. There seems to be more and more of these bullying antics and some of the things being said not only about this artist but others is disgusting and like you say hurtful. If these accusations had been tried in a court and the artist was proven guilty then thats a different kind of thing. people would know to be wary. But this artist has never been tried and never been found guilty to my knowledge. The trouble is some people just jump on the bandwagon with out knowing the full facts. But this is just my opinion .
