I just finished these yesterday and printed them on card stock and use scrapbook tape tabs to stick them on the inside of the survival kits.
The whole thing says...

Thanks for being my bridesmaid!
I could not have survived without you!

If I would have known who's graphics they were I wouldn't have taken them off a free site and I would have given credit. You shouldn't automatically think the worst in people.
Here's our issue with the images- someone (not pointing or saying names) sees our image on Etsy, saves it to their PC, erases all of our text and store information, and then recreates it as their own by customizing the colors, etc. and distributes it to others as "free". It's not free, it's for sale on Etsy and it's copyrighted by the creator. This is wrong. Why? Well, for some Etsy sellers, selling on Etsy pays the bills. Littlebeane Boutique's stickers were on the free photobucket site and she's a stay at home mom who makes money for the bills from Etsy. Vanessa Cavaco Designs' images were also on there and she's a part-time graphic designer trying to make extra money. I am on there, and I use Etsy earnings to pay for bills since I started a new job and am trying to make ends meet. In other words, we spend our spare time creating affordable graphics and products for purchase so we can make ends meet.
That being said, I get lots of ideas for my wedding from the internet and I share plenty of free templates. No one ever asks me for them, but I have plenty of free damask templates that I have created. Why? Because I know not every bride can afford $7 for a monogram no matter how cheap we think it is.
Bottom line- it's not nice to see your hard work given out as free and no credit given to the time and effort it took to create it.
These graphics are NOT for SHARING....they are copywritten by each designer.....
There is no need for us to be careful with our graphics...what she did was steal our images....obviously the time was taken to remove all of the wording that was on these items and passed as her own.
Wedding Paper Divas was contacted as well...and they are a huge company whose designs were stolen as well! I suggest anyone using any of these graphics stop today otherwise legal action will ensue
Victorias1911, I think you did anything wrong. creative ideas are meant to be shared, motivate/inspire new ideas etc... I love the way you integrated it with the travel bag:)
It isnt like you stole the shhh.. and tried to make a profit. What they want royalities? Get a patent on this then?
You found it and used it without knowledge and so imho you cant be blamed.
Beyond that rubbish
I think they look amazing and what a cute concept!
props to the maker of the picture its cute too.
