    Wow! Am I glad I found you today, 9-27-2022! Was an Investigator for 26 years and specialized in Copyright & Trademark Infringement cases; also did Patent violations. A few years ago, I came across Junk Journaling and all the crafts retated thereto and fell in love. I have been careful when it comes to using an image and I've been looking for something like this! i'd love to see more on this topic. Thank you!

    I see people using vintage book covers, from the the NY Public Library, but I am having trouble finding book cover images. I don't know if it may bey search terms, or what. Some of these websites don't make it easy to find things. I am not looking for a specific book, but like Children's Christmas book covers...but when I search that, it doesn't seem to pull up what I am looking for. Thank you for putting these videos out. I know it is an older series, but every crafter, or anyone, really, should be watching this series. I find it strange that pictures from books, or even the story line, can be used as public domain.

I no longer work in that medium so I'm not really updating them. But you can go to the playlist that I have and there are multiple videos there that talk about other places you can go. There's also a video talking about the reverse image search which is easy enough to do by going to Google images or using the website called TinEye But I do have a video walking you through it over on that playlist.

      No matter what photo editing program you're using, you'll be looking for layers. The most important thing is to remember if it's something you're going to print out you want to have at least a 300 DPI resolution. Otherwise you're going to get a really crummy print out.
