{ SisTV love, etc. }

I know I've mentioned this site before (probably a few times) but I love it so much.

I love the gallery...

I love that it's full of amazing pages that inspire me to create more.

I love how supportive the other scrappers are.

I love that when I hover over a thumbnail in the gallery it expands so that I can see the LO better before clicking on it. I love that when I DO click on it the LO is a great size to see all the little details but even better, depending on the size a person uploads, I can click on it again and see even MORE detail.  Or how some people upload additional detail shots that I can click on along the bottom of the LO. This site has been so generous with their gallery uploading guidelines. I LOVE that.

Or how 'bout that anywhere on the site that I see a tiny avatar of another scrapper I can hover over it and see an actual reasonable size version of the avatar. And if I click on that avatar I'm taken to a page perfectly designed for me to learn a little bit about that person.

I love that the bio pages have fun questions to get to know the users beyond just seeing their scrapbook pages. I love that if they have a blog or website there's a link right in their bio to get to it. I love that I can see who inspires THEM thru their list of 'favorite sisters'. Or how poeple can leave little messages right there in the bio page the same as you can in an individual LO.

I haven't figured out yet how to view others pages as albums. I know I sorted my portfolio by albums but I seem to be the only one who can view them that way. But it's a new site so I'd imagine they're still sorting some of those things out.

I love that when I log in and view my profile page it shows me right there if anyone has commented on any of my pages since I last logged in. I love that somehow people seem to comment on pages long after they're posted. In my experience in other galleries people typically comment only on the most recent LO posted. And even then it seems like after a few days you've likely gotten the last feedback you're going to get on that LO. At SisTV I seem to receive feedback even on pages I've posted almost a month ago when the site first opened.

I love that in that same profile page I can also see any new pages listed that my 'fav sisters' have posted since I last logged in so that if I don't have time to browse through the gallery I still don't miss any new pages from my friends or those scrappers that especially inspire me.

Oh, and the other day I noticed that the location in my profile was underlined and realized that if I click on it I can actually see a list of all the 'sisters' who listed Michigan as their home state. There are quite a few AMAZING scrappers who live not that far from me. I swear I'm not at all the stalker type but it's kinda fun to find out that a few of those LOs I've been raving about in the comments were created by people who live right near by. I know, I'm wierd like that. :)

Seriously though, they've thought of everything here. And I haven't even mentioned the little videos that are really what this site is all about. I didn't think I'd really get into them but I've watched almost every one. The most recent one is even about ideas for taking your scrapping outside with it being summer and nicer weather. The ideas they talk about don't really apply to me but I HAVE been spending a lot of time sitting out on my deck with the laptop. :)

The only thing missing is a slew of digi-scrappers posting in the gallery. Right now there's just a handful of us. So GO, check it out, set up a bio and start posting LOs and link me here or email me so I can add you to my favorites and send ya some love. You will seriously love it there.

And no, I'm in no way affiliated with the site. Wow wouldn't that be a dream gig! I'm just their number 1 digi-cheerleader. :)

Kay, gotta spend some time in the studio this morning and get the car washed and vacuumed out and then it's off to the beach for the afternoon. Gotta find my sunscreen and load a book and some new songs to the ipod. Current song at the top of my listening list is the new one by Incubus called Dig. Here's the video since this post is lacking in the images department and ya know how that bugs me. :) 

Ooh, I can post one of these though for this morning (beach day ya know).

Oh and I almost forgot, I finally finished Kimmy's blog header yesterday. This is what I came up with.

You can find the credits listed in her side bar and she even posted again. Check it out. :)

Have a great Tuesday!

First of all, I am not completely into the digi-scrapping thing so I think I will have to check it out so I know what you are talking about.

Secondly, your shameless plugs for my site are just crazy. Stop it, I am starting to blush.

Thirdly, I don't think I have one, but if I did, it would be that I REALLY love the banner you created for my blog. You are an awesome sister (and you are a real sister, not a digi-thing).
Have a great day at the beach and don't get burned!

I couldn't agree with you more!!
The way you listed all the good things about this site is just what I've been thinking about lately. You rock!

Hopefully they'll be more some talented digi scrappers over there soon.
I have a couple digital layouts I want to post tonight. But I'm warning ya, I'm nowhere near as good as you!
:)

OK, you convinced me! I'll go check it out tonight. :)

Hey! Your post kept me entertained while sitting in class.. Thanks! your faithful comments on my blog mean so much. Unfortunately i am not moving into the charming house.. My roommate didnt want to deal with a laundry room kitchen combo and i cant afford 1k a month on my own. But the new place is really big and we move in a couple weeks. I cant wait to get together whether it be here or there. Chicago sounds nice in early fall.. whatcha think?
