Crediting Digi Layouts in Galleries & Blog...

[YepBrook]

... So, how do you do it? How do you keep track? And what are the "rules" about crediting designers for the products in your layouts?

I'm just starting to think about posting my pages in online galleries again and it's a whole different ballgame for digital pages. When I used to upload my paper pages I sometimes mentioned the company of the paper/embellies, but if I didn't it was OK. I have gathered that this is not the case with digital scrapbooking. It seems like people credit everything used on the page, right?

I have an assortment of digital supplies from the years I've been buying them as well as a good collection of freebies. A lot of my stuff is older (2009) since that's the last time I was really into scrapbooking. I tend to scrap pretty eclectic and I like to make my pages using a few things from many (many) kits. Even when I am using that kit alone, I will often "add" things from other designers to my page. I'm finding when I try to leave credit it takes me hours to track down everything I used. Help!

Do you always leave credits on all of your pages in galleries? Is this really something all digi scrapbookers should do or is it mainly something CT's do to promote their designer? I'm also wondering if at some point, credit isn't needed. For instance, if it's an old alpha pack that was long retired? Or if the designer isn't designing anymore?

Thanks for the help!
