It has come to my notice that a cliparts and digital stamp site is claiming content of Aifactory as its own . And claims that these are stolen. This is an open letter to the owner of that site to point out a single image as its ! and show the original at their store?! They are only afraid that Aifactory is coming up as a strong site with strong content .

The owner of that store started this bad word campaign against me and my store!. i was invited to this store to publish my contents i decided to create my own site and as a result they are spreading these words so my store wont flourish!!

I Dare her to take it to court ! she is a liar and please think twice before listening or paying attention to rumors like these!She has also spread a rumor that PCP had difficulty with our store , then Why pcp run a challenge with me? and why is my group still in PCP not banned or kicked? or is that her plan to call PCP and tell more lies there?
I am really angry with this person spreading bad words about me and the store !

Ok i am not that much familiar with these , really , i have been browsing blogs of wonderful ladies and i saw some sweets here and there. I totally loved the concept how wonderful you are sharing and spreading sweets! over at the blogs!

I would like to introduce you to a brand new member of the AiF Family meet Stjampin De . AiF is having such lovely ladies we are proud of! . Go visit her blog where she pours her thoughts and creativity and get inspired....!
Here is what she says about herself
"I am a single mom of two four legged babies… my real job is as a Government contractor for the Navy doing logistics support and web management.  I have been stamping or scrapbooking or some type of crafting forever!  I first began papercrafts about ten years ago but have been heavily involved with it for the past 3 or 4 years. I like to think my style is ever changing… I like to try new techniques and use different designs with each project I create.  I not only focus on cards, but layouts , other projects, altered items and more.  I also make jewelry and dabble at sewing and I’m a very passionate learner of photographer.  I enjoy creating graphics, websites, and blog on the side for friends, local businesses and family.

Yesterday was my creation day and i created a fun back to school set of illustrations!althoghy my drive is already full of back to school vectors , i wanted to create more fresh stuff here is a preview of the new set.


And I had to take off stuff of two of designers from the store as they had some issues from their associates which obviously they should have confirmed with before submitting to my store. AiF is very particular about copyright issues and when these images are submitted every time with each image submission artist signs a form which states clearly that they should have full right on the file submission and AiF will not be responsible . So hopefully in the future artists will read the terms of submission .
And we have a brand new section of Digital Stamps at the store now which is on Demand .Now you will be able to download single digital stamps along with an option to download the full sets Here is a new set addition to the Digital Stamps Section made up of all the little cute fairies ! this too is a set on demand how lovely.!

Thats not it here are two more new sets added check them out as well!

Hi there!  This is Ashley Newell, one of the sample designers for AiFactory.  I'm here to issue you all a fun challenge with an AWESOME prize!

The challenge:

Make a creation that uses the theme "baby."  You can make a card, layout, altered item, etc...  You are not required to use anything from AiFactory, but we would love if you did!  There's an entire Freebie section on the site that you can download and use.  Just have fun!  Then upload your creation to the AiFactory Ning group using the keyword babychal.  The deadline to enter is August 27.

The prize:



One lucky winner will get this amazing Little Emma's Insy Winsy Nursery set!  It's perfect for scrapbooking and card making!  This set comes with 17 images and 4 backgrounds (you can use the backgrounds as designer paper!)

And here's my sample.



I made this with the Stitch-N-Sew Set.  I used the butterfly outlines to make the designer paper.  I used one of the pretty patchwork butterflies with an outline as the main image.  I added some text for the sentiment.  And then I finished with some cute little blue buttons from the set.

Can't wait to see what you all make!
