After reading Jamielyn's post this week about the launch of The Inspiration Board I had to go try it out. It's a fun website where you can easily upload photos to create a cute, crafty looking inspiration board. Complete with washi tape and binder clips to add on. A crafty blogger's dream. Maybe.
So I took some time to make a little inspiration board. I had some photos from the Sew Fab sale and threw them up on a cute chalkboard looking inspiration board.

My only concerns? It's just another easy way to take someone else's photos without giving credit. So make sure you always link back to the original source. And make sure the source allows you to use their photos! And one more thing, if you aren't putting the source ON the board, don't pin the board from The Inspiration Board site, please! There will be no way of knowing where the photo originated. Please don't steal!
I put together another one of a few of my favorite sewing projects for kids.

No frame, a cork background and a bit or random washi tape. Not bad. I like messy.
Have you played around on The Inspiration Board yet? Are you concerned about stolen photos?
My solution? If you are using other people's photos, make your board PRIVATE on the app site. Then you can post it in your blog with proper links and credit. What do you think?
