What happened to Digiland?

Welcome Back!!!

I took a four-year-long "break" and returned just earlier this summer to find DST completely changed, management changing at sites, magazines shut down, and many of my favorite designers no longer even designing. It was a little overwhelming to start all over again and get my bearings, but SSD has really helped. I picked a few designers that I knew from before and loved (all are here), started participating in the Portfolio Challenges, finding new designers, and the Sweet Rewards program has really helped my budget.

Welcome back to digi! I wanted to mention that Me So Scrappy is an open gallery so there are a lot of wonderful layouts with links to the designers store/stores. You should browse and get some inspiration, while your there, read the blog!

Welcome back

Welcome back!
One place that has come about is The Daily Digi. They have a kit called The Digi Files (SSD's have been on there and is always a must) for $5 and you can try out some new designers on the cheap that way. They have tutorials and other info as well. So I check there and here and FB and that is about it. I think in general the digiworld got too overwhelming to keep up!

I have followed The Daily Digi from the beginning actually. I've kept up with a few blogs here and there. It changed for me when Janet left and then when it became a subscription I kind of lost interest a bit. I used to buy it a lot of the months when it was $5 and I liked what I was seeing on the features, but I didn't always buy it so for me the membership wouldn't really work. Bummer though because I'm loving Fee and Zoe's contributions to this one.

Thanks again ladies. You have all been so welcoming and helpful. Now I just gotta get my butt scrapping (oh wait, after I clean my kitchen, lol!)

You don't have to buy the subscription. You can buy individual TDF's still for the $5. I'm like you, I don't need every new thing that comes out so the subscription wasn't what I wanted. I miss Janet too there. Know she's uber busy with her kiddos and life so I understand, but I "miss" her voice there too. Glad she still sells her templates here!

Welcome back! I really think much of the forum activity from those "big boards" is now more focused on smaller communities like store forums--well, I've always noticed SSD's forum is hopping Also, I think designers find it easier to touch base with people on Facebook and Twitter
