Do you ever copy a card from a catalog?
I was taking a peek through the SU catalog and also the A Muse catalog earlier today. There were a few Christmas cards that I really, really liked and was thinking of making them for my Christmas cards this year.
Do you ever completely copy a card that you see in a catalog or magazine or online for your personal use? It's not like I'm going to be entering into a contest or anything. What's your take on it?

Yes! Directly from the SU catalog, actually.

Isn't that what they make the catalogues for? To make it easier for my brain when i've got a creative block?
