iPICKS, Week 46

Welcome to iPICKS where I post a selection of my favorite Stampin' Up! cards and projects for the week. There's no formal rules or guidelines ... just inspiring projects that catch my eye, clever ideas, and exceptional designs. These are projects that inspire me and I hope they inspire you too!

I thought I'd try presenting iPICKS through Clipmarks this week. I'd love to hear what you think of the change!

Here are my iPICKS for Week 46 ...

    I love the clipmarks. It makes it so much easier. Before I wouldn't check all the ipicks because I didn't want to go to each blog. Now if I see something interesting I can go to that blog. Thanks for the change.

    I love the clipmarks!! I've never seen them before. I read your blog through google reader, and I adore being able to see the pictures without having to click through all the links.

    I always look through your ipicks each week, and usually bookmark at least one for future reference. Thanks for putting together your favorites for everyone to see!

    I love the clipmarks! I have to admit, I am another one who wouldn't click on all of the links so I was probably missing a lot of awesome projects. I love this setup, especially where you add the links as well, then I can go see more artwork from the ones I like the best.

    Okay so here is the one not so popular opinion. I see your picks as a way to drive traffic to the blog of the original creator. I love checking your site each week for the record. Isn't posting the pictures if you did not get permission copyright infringement? Not only that you have moved their creation to another site to host the image. I totally get why you all love it being this done this way but is it fair to the original creator?

I think you have given credit with your style of posting and I don't think it is copyright infringement. If someone thinks it is infringement they should recheck the official law to refresh their knowledge.
