*** Giveaway time! *** Yay!

Hello my lovely followers! I’ve brought a giveaway this time. There will be two different ways to participate this time–on instagram and tumblr, and you can do both if you want. :)

* There will be 2 winners–1 from instagram, 1 from tumblr, randomly chosen.

* Prizes will be what you see in the picture–I’ll divide them evenly (!!) into two prizes and as always, I’ll be adding more stuff; there will be some handmade ephemera pieces, some brand-new-but-vintage-style ephemera bits I purchased at a store, handmade letter paper with mushroom pictures, stickers, and some more.

* Both giveaways will close on May 23rd 2017 (Houton, TX, US time).

* You must be comfortable with giving your address to me to receive the prize.

* No giveaway account please!

* International participants are welcome.

* Please check out my etsy shop as well - Feel Good Parcel (link) but this isn’t a mandatory thing. :)

* How to participate:

1) Instagram: You must be a follower of my account @miavibes. Like the giveaway post and tag 2 people who might be interested in this giveaway on the giveaway post. Easy, right? :)

2) Tumblr: You must be a follower of my account @favoritejournal. Reblog the giveaway post. Even easier! :)

*leave a message in the note section, saying you’re from tumblr so that you can get extra cuts and bits :)

[favoritejournal]

can you please describe the concept of an ephemera kit? is it for scrap booking etc?

Hi! It is not only for scrapbooking and journaling but really anything. But you can use it in your mails to your pen friends if you have any as well. I personally use those ephemera pieces for junk journaling and also decorating envelopes and packages when I send out mails as well as adding them to those mails as gift for my pen pals.

OK, this might sound really weird but there's a post saying "thrifiting done right" where there's a bunch of art books and a Moleskine you found. I really really want to know what there's inside of it?? could you show us?? please and thank u love

inside the moleskine i found? well, it was just a blank notebook with some thick (like watercolor) paper... so really nothing special to show :(

[favoritejournal]

Did some scrapbooking on my traveler’s notebook.

Most ephemera pieces came from my pen friends.

I’ve been discouraged lately to create more things for my journals, etsy shop, and even photos for ig and tumblr.

It’s mainly because those who created some stuff and shared pictures of it on ig saying that they were inspired by me. Some of them tagged me on the photos and others messaged me on ig...

I always appreciate those who kindly let me know that they have re-created something, inspired by my work, but when they are selling things on etsy that look like what I’m selling on my etsy shop, taking photos of their items very similarly to how I take my product photos, copying the paragraphs in my product description and even some exact words and phrases, and constantly re-creating things that I have created--such as journaling cards, junk journals, ephemera packs, even the HASHTAGS I USE... Some people specifically asked me to give them the hashtags I use so that they can just copy and paste on their posts... Then I seriously freak out a bit and then kind of lose willingness to create more, which is terrible.

I might be being too sensitive or harsh, but it doesn’t get better just because they tell me they were inspired me. Now it’s getting to a point where it sounds like, “I copied your stuff to sell at my own etsy shop but since I said I had been inspired by you, it’s ok, right?” ...... sigh, I’m so annoyed by this situation that keeps happening over and over again...!

I also get inspired by lots of people on the internet myself and I re-create their works, too. However, I don’t sell those things, I don’t copy the exactly same things, I don’t copy their words, I don’t copy the way they take their photographs for ig and tumblr...!

I don’t know. It’s not like I’m gonna sue them or anything like that. It’s just things that have been bothering me recently. I wish people knew they can hurt people’s feelings just by copying their style and work....!!!

Sending my respect to all those original artists on the internet who inspire so many people and keep creating and inspiring no matter what!
