copyright issues using scrapbook paper in your work...

[Former_Member]

Does anyone know what the copyright rules are when it comes to using scrapbook paper in work that you are selling? I've seen a lot of items using scrapbook paper as the sole design, and I use it as well in most of my paintings/collages, but it's usually covered up to some extent with paint. I'm just wondering how legal this is to use their images when we sell our stuff? Especially if we sell a lot that item.

i assume that any paper that you can buy at a craft store isnt copywritten, or else why would they sell it to the public? Maybe thats a naive way of thinking. I use scrapbook paper occasionally, but like you said, i also tend to cut it up and cover it in paint so i cant imagine there being an issue...

Well that's good. I know with stamps you have to be careful, since some of the companies are pretty fussy how you use their images. So I thought wonder if it's the same with scrapbook paper....

Wow. That question would never have entered my mind. Hmmm...
