Hi all...I just got back from being sick the last few days, and I get the following message sent to me from a GDS dabbler (1 post) ScrapDigital.
And they also posted it in the Nov Techniques challenge thread.
Here's the note I got.
Subject: Who are you trying to fool? Lovely window curtains...ROFL
It's easy with Rose's Frame Wrap PS Action, huh? ROFL
Here was my response:
Yes, you're right - I did use her action and it is credited in the TOU for it in the zip that will be going out.
And yes - it was easy - when I found her action that I then interpreted into the curtains. And her action is also credited in the TOU I have in the files I will be eventually uploading into the store.
I am not trying to fool anyone. If you have a question on this - post it in the forum. I never said I invented the fold - I just said I found something that would allow me to make the curtains. And I did -her action. It was a tool that let me design the curtains.

I made the curtains for the November Techniques Challenge. This is what I said: "have finally figure out a way to do one. I have taken a ribbon wrap and a fold and have combined them to make a curtain - a prime example of how you can turn digital stash into other treasures"
And that is what I did. I took 2 ribbon wraps from my digital stash (from an action) and merged them into a curtain. Actions and brushes and shapes are all Photoshop tools that produce digital items for you. When you combine them into something new - you have turned them into treasures.
Evidently the person who wrote the basic anonymous note to me does not understand how to intepret digital stash and turn them into different unique products.
Just wanted to publicly state that my note on the curtains stated that I had take ribbon wraps - which I had - and had turned them into something - -which I did. Obviously, all of my TOUS - and everyone who has them - can vouch that I provide extensive credits to everything I have used in the creation of my products. And the action that I used to create the ribbon wraps, which I then combined with papers that I used, would all be credited when the files are distributed.
So ScrapDigital - GDS Dabbler (with 1 post) - whoever you are, I have no problem going public in the forum with any of this. We are required to include credits for things we use in desiging in our product TOUS - if you check out freebies and challenges, you will notice that none of the credits are included in the posting of the challenges. However, they must be included in the TOUS that go along with anything distributed in zip files.
And yes the Techniques Challenge which I host provides tips and techniques on how to create things. The challenge was to take digital stash - such as buttons, brushes, brads, overlays, words, ribbons, words - and border the page. The posting gift for the challenge is a curtain that I have created with the tools I have - Photoshop actions, color palettes, shapes (for the windows), layering styles, and templates. All are credited in my TOUS and have always been. I do not provide credits in my threads.
That's it for me.
