Couple of announcements

Digishoptalk has the HUGEST digital gallery and is THE PLACE to be if you are into digital scrapbooking. It is the first place I posted a layout and was basically my introduction into the digital world. The membership is currently at 16,068, but check back tomorrow because there will probably be another 50 people becoming members overnight. It is a seriously HUGE place. When you are on a Creative Team, the designer always asks you to post in 3 places. One of them is always DST.

So, about a month ago, I responded to a call to be the new Editor-In-Chief of the Digishoptalk Insider. The Insider is a monthly online publication that is available to DST members for download. It contains relevant articles, tutorials and challenges as well as ads from designers, coupons, announcements, etc. Pretty cram packed with good stuff. The Insider is downloaded by approximately 3000 members, give or take. I figured I didn't really have a shot, but I wrote up a quick little email listing my qualifications and sent it off.

About a week later, the announcement was finally posted. There was MY NAME listed under Editor-In-Chief! FREAK!! Can you even believe it? Makes me wonder if anyone else applied! Ha!

So, I'm really excited to begin this new adventure. I'm jumping in with two feet! September will be my first issue and it's gonna be GOOD! As the new Editor-in-Chief, I'm supposed to pick a theme for the issue (which is SO much fun!), then communicate it to the rest of the staff. I'll come up with ideas for features for the month. I get to hand out assignments (like in the movies!) and find guest contributers, PLUS I will write the "From the Desk of the Editor" column every other month (trading off with Shannon, the founder). I'll probably write a column every once in a while. SO COOL.

On to other news:

Remember this little tin I made? You can now buy the project and do it yourself! How fun is that? Thank you Dianne Rigdon (did you know she designs for Prima, too?)! I love working with you!!



Look closely and you will see my name on the preview in 2 places! And look! There's Mitch with his shirt off! Hee, hee!
