Thank you so much to our service men and women!!

First off I would like to take the time to THANK our military men and women!! Today is a day of remembrance also...So, I would like to remember my grandfather Clarence Sr. who fought in WWI, My father Clarence Jr. in the Air Force who fought in Korean War, My Uncle Alva who was in the Navy and fought in WWII My Uncle Bob who was in the Army and fought in the WWII. And to all of the men and women who have lost their lives in the line of duty or not....a soldier is a soldier.....For without these BRAVE men and women we would not have our freedom.

I got some good news that I have been with holding. I am so excited to have been chosen to serve another term on The Digi Shack Design Team. I would like to welcome the newbie DT members also. Today we are giving you a sneak peak at The Digi Shack's Marlene has drawn up some new Chunkie's released on June 5th and will be sold in The Digi Shack Shop for $2.00 a piece. These little guys are just the cutest!! I made up a few sneaky peaky for you all to see. I hope you like them as much as I had fun playing with these Little Phat guys. LOL

Design Team Call for The Digi Shack

Calling all Sistah’s!

The Digi Shack Design Team Call

It’s that time again where we are looking for a few fresh faces to join The Digi Shack.

If you LOVE digi’s you’ll love being part of our family! We are looking for new design team members. We’ve recently lowered our prices on our images to just $1 each to do our part in saving the world of paper crafter’s money! We are also adding a few new lines to our shop including some fabulous templates!

Open to:

U.S. and International English speaking applicants

Please read the following very carefully before submitting your application. It is very important that you follow the directions as that too is part of the determining factor of you becoming a DT member

· 3 pictures of your VERY BEST work. Photos must be sized at 640x480. This can either be cards, layouts with pictures or altered items

· A paragraph (not a sentence) about you and why you want to be a Shack Sistah and what you will do to promote The Digi Shack.

· A clickable link to your blog

· A clickable link to your online gallery or galleries

· A list of clickable links to all Design teams you are on. It is favorable that you are not active on more than 3 design teams while you are with TDS.


What is expected of DT members?

If you are chosen to be a Shack Sistah you will be expected to:

· Complete weekly challenges and post to your blog on the challenge day(s).

· Post comments and photos on SNR and PCP and other social networking sites.(this means you will have to have a user account at SNR and PCP)

· You will also be required to leave comments on blogs for all of our TDS fans that participate in our challenges and your sistah’s blogs

· Participate in ALL TDS events where sufficient notice is given.

· It is not required but we encourage all DT members to submit their artwork to magazine publication at least once a month. A list of publications will be provided for you on the DT blog.

You will also be required to participate in Digi Day on SNR on the 1st Saturday of EVERY MONTH for your term.(this date is subject to change without notice) as well as our monthly Ustream live video feeds (you do not need to have a webcam but you do need to sign up for a free Ustream account so that you can participate in the live chats)

You must use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as your internet browser in order to view all of our images – both safer than IE and free to download. Our images are not always visible on IE. This does not mean if you use IE you have to delete it, you just need to use Firefox or Chrome while working with TDS images and blogs. You can have more than one browser installed on your computer and it should not harm or interfere with your system.

You must also know and understand how to use digital images. No special software is required but you must be able to print digital images in order to showcase them. Further, you must have a working knowledge of blogging software and understand the basic principles of inserting links, adding photos, etc.

A digital camera to photograph your work is required. No scanned images please.

You will be required to promote TDS by placing a clickable blog button on your blog. (This will be provided to you by TDS if you are chosen to be on the team)

You must have a blog that is updated at least 3 times a week.

You must be willing to commit to a 3 month term (June 1, 2010-Sept 1, 2010)

You will be required to check the DT blog daily to check for updates or new events. This is our main form of communication.

You must be willing to work under short notice. Toni is not a planner and more often than not, she plan's things at the last minute.

Failure to comply with the above terms may result in termination with or without notice.

What do DT members get as part of being on the team?

You will receive free TDS images! This round we are doing things a bit different. Once selected as part of the DT you will receive 3 images of your choice to create with to announce your position on the team. Once I see that these three images are used you may choose 3 more and so on. I’ve found that if I freely give out images then they are not being used to showcase TDS. This isn’t just about getting free images, your position on the DT is to showcase and promote The Digi Shack. As long as you are creating with our images and showcasing them, you will receive all of your requested images. Please remember that this is a serious commitment and I expect that you treat it as such if you are chosen. Please do not apply if you can not commit.

Monthly we will be releasing new images and you will automatically be sent those images before the release date so that you can sneak peek those new arrivals. Those new releases do not count towards your images of choice.

If you think you have what it takes to be a Shack Sistah email your application with DESIGN TEAM in the subject line by May 15, 2010 – Any applications with anything more or less than DESIGN TEAM in the subject line will be disqualified.

Good luck!

Today is 3-D Challenge Day

Today The Digi Shack is having a 3-D Challenge. I was late getting my challenge in because of my Fibromyalgia. Of course with Ohio weather going from Hot to cold kicked it in big time....so with that said.... I am sorry!!

All images at The Digi Shack is a Buck(Not a deer Buck)But, one Dollar....Yes, $1.00. They have the coolest digi's to play with. So with that said here is the link to the store. So, go buy you a digi and play along with the Design Team.

http://kharliebug.typepad.com/the_digi_shack/the-digital-shop-1.html

Here is my take on the challenge....A post it note holder. This is something that you can carry in your purse for those notes you might need to remember. All I did was took a piece of chip board and cut it at 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 and covered it and then used my binder. Did the Digi and popped it up with foam squares.... That easy!!
