Let's discuss the DST Call Forum....

ok, so material has been a bit sparse over at the hub, so I thought we could discuss the call forum. A quick scroll through the forum I saw a multiple offers relating to digi needs.

CT calls
Designer calls
Advertising Guru
Preview Maker
Ad maker
Guest Calls
Product tester
One time CT opportunities
Publication calls
Site CT
QP Artists
Web site admin \ designer

These two particularly by Seascraps are interesting:

and of course the wildly crazy CT requirements for Rose Farver; and I am eagerly waiting for the announcement of the gals that are looking for this type of gig:

Do you scan the DST forum for Digi "opportunities"? Designers is this an effective source for recruiting talent? If you had web design \ admin skills, would you offer your services in trade for scrap supplies? If you look at the calls does the quality \ style of the ad make an impression? Is free product enough compensation for the expectations of some of these designer requests? Would targeting your customer base, blog readers, be a better source for potential CT members? Discuss the Call forum, its contents or anything else that might spark some debate.

Fishing for handouts....

I have seen my fair share of internet scams, and while this one was pretty low on my radar, the red flags were still waving.....then low and behold, she posted about miraculous turn of events. These types of posts really used to annoy me, not so much anymore, there will always be scammers, there will always be people that get scammed. It doesn't matter to me anymore, because these people that donate to the cause think they are doing a good thing, but really they are just enabling the behavior, for others to follow. Big surprise, she is on Gabs' promotion team.

Let's talk Mo Jackson

Ok, so I know that threads about Mo Jackson usually turn into a train wreck at DST. But I have to say, I am intrigued by her. Let me preface to say, I don't own one thing she has made. I did take a peek at her site, when it was open to the public and it looked to me like her style was vintage, reminded me of KB & Friends. Then apparently she has some boxes, and well now everybody has boxes. My other mental note was her kit prices were really high. So based on my 10 minutes browsing the store, I determined if I want vintage, I can find it on the open market for a better price. Now her business model is what intrigues me - monthly membership for the priviledge to shop at her store, can't be on any CT's, and I don't know what her other rules are, as I have never tried to gain access to MoLand (and my info above may not be factual, again just bits and pieces from lurking around) So is she in it for the fun of it? Why the exclusivity? Any members of MoLand care to fill in the outsiders on any insider information. Is there really no MoLand and she created the front door just to make people curious?

Is a DST Spinoff brewing?

There seems to be a ground swell of disgruntled scrappers that are tired of the constant CT pimping and overzealous promoting of the latest trends at DST. If a new board were created what would attract you to post there? How could the owner keep the pimping under control? What forums would you suggest? Would the "average scrapper" participate? Ideas for generating site revenue? Can you generate revenue without selling ads and having sponsors?

mothers of growing daughters scrap advice please?

Our first discussion topic, I know most of you passed this one by, but what do you really want to say to Carinpixels?

Okay this may sound silly, but you know this afternoon me and the girls went for a walk and took the camera, we had loads of fun posing and playing and both girls took pictures as well....
When I got home and uploaded the photos I was kind of shocked.....
my oldest DD is growing boobies.
I know all girls will get to that stage, but uhm I didnt see it earlier, took out pictures from 3 weeks ago and nothing and all of a sudden there they are.
Anyways can I scrap about her growing boobs? Or would that be a no no?
When she was younger she would always look in the mirror, posing shoulders back to see how she would look with boobies, so I was thinking adding journaling about it, like here they are or something...but is that 'polite'?
And offcourse they are dressed pictures hahahahaha

Our Mission

Our mission is simple. They post the material at DST, MSA, or any other digi scrapbook message board, and you can come here and discuss, without fear of backlash from the community. Overzealous CT mob, mother of the year contender, Designer conference room cat fight, charity scandal, a layout that has been posted, whatever you want to have further discussion about, if it has been posted for sharing on a digital scrapbook message board, you are free to link us up for discussion. There have been some classic threads at that message board. Let's preserve them for historical purposes! I am open to suggestions, reader submissions. I was thinking of having Flashback Friday, and some other features.
