Posting a picture of your creations is OK if you own the cartridge/s and the picture is not big enough or clear enough to be able to be copied and the image used abusively.
If you post say a picture of a card you made then what is there to stop me from taking a screen shot and printing the resulting image as is and making a card from it. I've seen this happen time and time again with stamped images and sample cards.
Posting pictures and/or sharing files on a blog or public forum of something which has been abusively traced from the net or other source is contravening copyright and can lead to big trouble.
It is very difficult especially for Disney images - they can come down very heavily on people who use their images abusively and have people trawling the Net continuously for offenders. It is possible to tell whether or not an image has been abusively traced ( using images from carts you don't own) as there is a certain image loss.
The advent of SCAL has opened up a whole new section of problems .

It was seeing what Susan had done with Chris and Pooh Bear that inspired me to have a go and I am so glad I did!!! It makes the Cricut like a robo and expression all in one machine :)
