Of course there will be prizes!!
4 lucky players will win a prize package -2 packages will have the Verve sets Snow Wonderful and Snowflake Splendor AND 2 packages will have the sets Enjoy and Bountiful backgrounds.

Please use keyword WCMD09E when uploading, so we can find your card. Verve Stamps are not required, but if you got 'em why not use 'em?

WCMD INFO:

-You have until midnight (EST) on Sunday the 4th to upload to be eligible for the prize drawings.
-Winners will be posted on Monday, October 5th, here in the Splitcoast Challenges Forum.
-We are partnering up with Operation Write Home! If you'd like to donate your World Card Making Day cards you can find the info on their website on where to send them (look on the left sidebar).

I'm behind on the challenges and I don't know where to start. Should I start with the first challenge and work forward? Should I randomly point at the screen and pick one? Should I start with this one and work backwards? Decisions...

Oh this one is going to present way to many decisions. Should I go with my families heritage or just close my eyes and point at the screen? LOL!! I'm sure I'll come up with something. Thx.

I decided to honor my ancestors and use the Irish flag. The colors of that flag are green, orange, and white. Here's my card -- Irish Abundance.

I chose to use United States as I have this large flag stamp I've had for years. My son-in-law just deployed to Iraq this past week and DGS wants to send him a note. Didn't turn out the way I thought it would when I colored with markers and then spritzed with water. The blue just wouldn't stamp for me so I had to recolor on the cardstock.

Too funny Grammy I am doing the same thing today. Love that I got to use it! Here is my entry: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=211910

I choose Bulgaria also for its green, red and white color combination!

Sorry I don't own any Verve Stamps but just took a peek at your website and am loving them! Will definitely be looking out for them in the stores!
