Our newly published issue of the DST (digishoptalk.com) Insider is amazing (and always free)!  If you’re a digital scrapbooker, paper scrapbooker or want to learn more about these fun hobbies, you need to read our January issue of this online magazine.  This month, we have articles and features focused on page and layout design.  And although we cater to digital scrapbookers, paper scrapbookers can benefit from learning how to put together an effective page–and this issue is packed with tips, tricks and resources all dedicated to page design.

Here are my favorite articles this month:

• How’d They Do That?  Layout Design Tips from Top Scrappers
• Tools of the Trade:  Perfect Products to Help You with Page Design Principles
• Perfecting Page Design:  Where to Get Help
• Making it Real–with Shadows

And, of course, we have a wonderful digital scrapbooking kit freebie download, too! (Thanks, JennCK!)  If you like digital-scrapbooking kits, why not enter the Golden Ticket Challenge–you could win TWELVE full digital kits (one per month for a year) and a Gold Membership to digishoptalk.com.

So, if you want to improve your scrap skills or get a little inspiration, read the January DST Insider.
