We are changing things up a bit here at Left of Center, we are looking for a few more  more full-time DT members!  If you are interested, please email me at scrappypug at gmail dot with LOC  team in the subject line and a link to your blog.  All styles and skill levels welcome- and all art types too.

Full-time DT members are required to produce two projects a month and use images provided by our sponsors where at all possible, as well as comment on assigned entries.  No DT experience is required, just be able to post pics and have a blog and use/print digital images.  You do not have to make cards- any kind of art is welcome if you can at least occasionally incorporate a digital image.

Hope to hear from you!  Thanks!

Full team for now! Will repost if we need more. Many thanks to all you expressed an interest!
