Q. Why aren't all of your products available for sale on-line?

A. Leisure Arts has only recently begun to partner with our retail stores to offer our publications and scrapbooking products on-line. We hope to have all of our products available for sale in the near future.

Q. Where can I purchase discontinued publications?

A. Once a Leisure Arts design or publication has been discontinued, we do not have any more inventory in our warehouse facility. However, check with your local retailers or our Online retailers for product availability. Just because we don't have any more copies doesn't necessarily mean that one of our retailers doesn't, either. If all else fails, check out an online auction site (e.g. Ebay) - you never know what you can find there!

Q. I would like to submit a design for Leisure Arts to consider. How can I do that?

A. Please see our submissions guide for detailed instructions

Q. How does Leisure Arts choose designs from those submitted?

A. A review committee meets approximately twice a month to compare what designs have been submitted to the needs of the market, based on current trends and sales figures. You will be notified by mail or telephone once a decision has been made. Please allow up to eight weeks for this process.

Q. I'm looking for a particular pattern, but I don't know its title. Can you help?

A. Try typing what you remember about the piece into our Quick Search tool. If the design is of a dog, then type "dog" into the space. The search tool will pull all products that we have listed as having a dog in them. When using the search tool, try to limit the words that you type in. If you are looking for the dog design, you might have greater success by typing in "dog" than by typing "dogs" or "dog designs." If you still can't find what you are looking for, it might be discontinued; however, feel free to give our customer service staff a call at 1-800-526-5111 to find out for sure. We are constantly changing and developing our website, so if you can't find what you are looking for, please check back with us from time to time. Thank you!

Q. I own a Leisure Arts publication. Can I get permission to photocopy it for a friend or co-worker?

A. No, we do not grant permission to photocopy nor do we make photocopies for an individual to distribute under any circumstances. Making any unauthorized reproductions of copyrighted material in any form is a violation of Federal copyright laws.

Q. What are the rules concerning selling projects made from Leisure Arts publications?

A. The designs themselves and the instructions in our leaflets are the exclusive property of Leisure Arts; the finished product made from our instructions belongs to you as long as you do not duplicate the instructions or claim to be the designer. The designs are intended for the personal, noncommercial use of our consumers, and we do not give permission for consumers to wholesale the projects they make from our designs in stores or businesses.If you are registered as a business or have a tax identification number, permission is denied for you to make and sell any projects using Leisure Arts designs.

Projects made from any Disney, Looney Tunes, Precious Moments, DC Comics, Frosty the Snowman, Dreamsicles, Cherished Teddies designs, or any other licensed product, may not be sold under any circumstances due to our agreements with these companies.
