Design Team Call!!!!

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 1^st 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.  I am not a planner and more often than not, I plan 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!

A Little Crabby....

me? crabby? HECK no....I'm leaving for Arizona today!!!!!!! Vacation at my sisters!!!!! I am anything BUT crabby!!! However, for this weeks Wednesday Sketch Challenge at The Digi Shack, I chose this cute little crab image :) I don't think I have mentioned it on here before, but all of the single images over at The Digi Shack are only $1.....yep, you read that correctly......for you....A DOLLAR!!!! (LOVE that commercial). Now you can't beat that deal with a stick. Why not go check out the site. I'm sure you will find lots of images you will like over there!!! BUT, before you go, won't you please try the sketch challenge? I would love to see what you come up with!!

Ah, my little chickadee......

Ok, so I'm a little young to actually remember WC Fields.....but that saying came to mind while I was coloring this adorable image from Sunshine's Stamps. This little guy was a lot of fun to color. Especially with all the real birdies flying around outside, now that Spring is officially here :) Like this little guy? Go ahead and check out all his feathered friends over at Sunshine's Stamps.....you are in for a "Tweet"......lame right? Sorry about the image quality....I just could not, for the life of me, get a good shot of this one. I think it's all the yellow :)

Don't ya just love 3D????

3D movies for me....not so much.....but 3D projects.....LOVE them!!! Toni, owner of The Digi Shack, challenged the DT to make a 3D project that was NOT a card or scrapbook page. This was a perfect challenge with perfect timing for me this week. With it being my son's birthday this month, I chose to make a gift box for my 3D project. We decided to get him the Ipod Touch (lucky kid) for his birthday and this box fit the Ipod perfectly!!! I got the template for the box HERE. I used the cupcake image from The Digi Shack to finish it off and make it look 'birthdayeeee'......ok, so that's SO not a word and Marlene, the spelling police, is sure to let me know that, but it works for me :) Go ahead, try the challenge...it was a lot of fun!!! Check out all the images over at The Digi Shack...you are sure to find one that will make your gift box beautiful!!! When you finish your gift box, leave me a comment with a link to it so I can check it out!!!
