Default Will you be my guinea pig?

Digital scrapbooking is a deeply fragmented world in one sense. I couldn?t even begin to count how many digital scrapbooking stores and message boards there are out there, and there aren?t any big shows twice a year to bring the industry together the way the papercrafting arts do at CHA. This has filled me with a desire to cross-pollinate, to show readers products, ideas, and inspirations from different sites. That said, it does sometimes look like a site devoted to Designer Digitals, with all the excitement I express there for DD, which is after all my ?home? site.
So if you darling people would take a look at it and give me feedback, criticism, suggestions, encouragement, I would be so grateful. You can find it here: digiscrapclubhouse. To see all the articles I?ve posted so far, click the archives button at the top of the first page.

You're the first to see it, so I need to know everything you can tell me. Thank you so much!

Sharon/Cheska

I check out a lot of other sites and their galleries, I love to see all the different ways of scrapping, and each gallery seems to have its own flavor. Lately I've been fascinated with the magical storybook layouts out there, people are getting brilliant with Photoshop! I like to explore all styles, even if they aren't the kind I'd do.

Yours looks very clean, easy to navigate, and being a Photoshop addict, that section alone would have me re-visiting often.

Wonderful - very easy on the eye and I love the straightforward, uncluttered design. I really enjoyed it, saw some new things, learned a few things, and have added it to my list for regular review! Great job!

Love the design & the content. Looks great & I can't wait to read more. I clicked all of your links and only have 1 suggestion. When you are linking to things, I'd have it link directly to, as oppose to the site. For example, Ali Edward's free template. It links to her blog. Someone reading through your blog in a month will have to go through all of Ali's post to find that template. Like you did with CorinaGardner's designs - The link takes you directly to her shop at the store. (the 2p is currently down so I couldn't check that link). But the site is great.
