Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but that was my initial reaction to that particular suggestion.

I agree that a blog hop would be fun!
Lisa said it perfectly. If I want to look at or post non-Disney layouts, there are tons of open galleries out there. Please do not change MouseScrappers. Being Disney specific is what makes MouseScrappers such a special place.

With respect, I worry that if you add an open gallery it will just become a "dumping ground" for every person out there to promote or sell their products. We are very lucky to have designers who sponsor this site and they (and their CT's) actively participate here. It is a part of what makes this such a great community.

I have noticed a trend where previously open galleries have moved towards regulating the use of "in-house" products. In many cases I believe this was done because they just got tired of people using their sites as "dumping grounds" - people who post layouts to promote a designer's product and get "free" advertising, but never contributing to or participating on that site.

Just my 2cents worth. (Putting my flame suit on LOL)

Carol thanks for everything you do to make MouseScrappers such a great home
