OK…Green light!!

07.31.06

So, I am now able to tell you…digitalscrapbooking.com and Digital Scrapbooking Magazine have been purchased/acquired by…Simple Scrapbooks!!! At this point they are planning a quarterly magazine beginning early 2007. Some of you may hear about it as they start putting things (and people) into place. YAY for digital!! This is just the boost that we needed! More information on when, who, how etc. will be coming in the next few months.

I will have NO administration or managerial responsibilities or authority, so I won’t have many answers beyond what I am able to tell you right now. I will be a contributing editor and consultant… starting tomorrow, officially!

Thanks to all who supported the magazine and site from the beginning and who helped it to grow! Now it will grow beyond ’skinny’ and will be a great resource for all scrappers – digital or not!!

    –scrapbooking need a C. I know I’m a dork but I can’t help it. Hugs to you –

    Question- I never received the July 2006 PDF issue. I paid for 4 PDF issues on 2/20/2006. I can provide add’l info if needed. Am I talking to the right person?

    Thanks for any input. DD

    Sorry – typo in email address, this one is correct. :)
