EXCITING NEWS!

Hi, everyone! Wow...so much going on...lots to share with you! But, first of all,
here's a little freebie for you that I created last night! Please leave me some love and let me know what you think of this little gal!
I would like to credit Clipahoy.com for the original .gif that I used to create this cutie!

Ok, big, big wonderful news!!! BARBARA SPECK of enormous talent in design has kindly joined us as a SPECIAL GUEST DESIGNER. She will be selling special kits and other digi scrapping products in our shop from time-to-time. We are so lucky to have this talented lady and we look forward to a long wonderful relationship with her!

While on the subject or designers, we have another exciting announcement to make. We are having a NON-CREATIVE TEAM CREATIVE TEAM CALL. We have totally revamped our idea of a creative team as we have been reading that creative teams are becoming a negative in our digi scrapping community. This is so sad. So, instead of a creative team, we are putting together The Rainbow Collaborate. This collaborate will consist of the following titles: Welcoming Committee Members, Guest Designers, Premier Designers and Rainbow Testers, Mimi and Softa.

You do not have to be experienced to apply for any of these positions, but you do have to be proficient in either Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Adobe C2 or C3, or Paintshop Pro. To apply, send 2 samples of your work along with your email addy and a note explaining which position(s) you would like to be considered for and a summary of any experience you may have.
Experience is not what will get you the position(s) nor lack thereof preclude you from getting the position(s). We are looking for creativity and talent. We are looking for friendliness, commitment, reliability, and enthusiasm. Also, please include a description of you (not your physical traits!). We are offering what we think are great incentives in exchange for your creations, work, etc. Send to mimiandsofta@gmail.com.
