WordArt Fun: Update on ESS, SDD and New CT Members

As many of you may already know, there was a problem with our host server UCwebhost that required them to shut down the server without warning either late Sunday night or sometime early Monday morning. Apparently, they discovered a security breach and felt the need to shut it down while they investigate. Unfortunately, this action took down many digital scrapping stores and other industries that rely on their service. Although, we remain optimistic that the situation will resolve itself soon, we have no idea when this server will be back online so unfortunately my store at both Enchanted Studio Scraps and Scrappity-Doo-Dah have been effected. At this time however, my store at Ginger Scraps is open for business.

If you have had a purchase over the past week or so that you did not have a chance to download at either of the effected stores, please contact me with the store name and invoice number and I will find a way to get that resolved so that you may have access to your purchase. In the meantime, please hang in there with us as we work to rectify the situation so that we can have fun in the forums once again.

Of course while this was all going on, I was working on adding several new members to my creative team. And I am thrilled to announce that I have added seven talented ladies to the team and I wanted to take this time to introduce them and show off a few layouts they created with the mini-kit, Whispers of Romance.

This one is by Charly. Charly is a fellow designer at ESS under the name of Country Hollow Creations. She also co-owns the store Sunflower Scrap Boutique and Kreative Kreations.
Next up is Deanna. Deanna is a Snickerdoodle at Ginger Scraps, which means she knows how to share the love and is very active in the forum at Ginger Scraps. She's also a Grandmother to 14 grandchildren so she has a lot of photos to scraps.
Heide is a site CT for Scrapable and just recently became a Snickerdoodle at Ginger Scraps. Heide is familiar with my designs because she worked with them in the past while I was at Scrapable.
Jen is site CT at Scrappity-Doo-Dah and also a photographer with her own photography store and design business Jen Crook Photography & Design.
Jenni is a SAHM to 3 children and she has 1 grandchild so she too has lots of memories to scrap. She has been digiscrapping for about two years and loves to be creative. Laura is a Love Bird at Scrappity-Doo-Dah and a SAHM to triplets. She is very active in the forum at SDD and loves to participate in the challenges. And last but not least is Marlyn. Marlyn is a very busy scrapper as she lends her talent to many designers on their creative teams and she comes to us from the Philippines.I'm excited to have them join the rest of the team and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Have a great day everyone. It's raining cats and dogs here so it's a good day to spend some time designing.
