***** INMEDIATELY CHANGES *****

Inmediately Changes

  Do to Copyright restrictions this puts me in the situation that I have to remove all of my shared files: My Tubes, Scrapbooking Sets and Tutorials Elements, etc.
It is something I don't feel comfortable doing after all this years but I have no choice, it's like this.

So, I'll start a new personal website exclusively for my artwork and desings: www.norascott.com where you'll be able to purchase my new tubes, images and all my future designs.

My apology for the inconveniences and I hope you understand that according to the copyright my artwork is original and I hold the copyright in every piece I designed, it is something that I have to do.

Thank you so much for your support and I hope you follow me in this new time.

Kisses & Peace
