Come Celebrate With Us

Since July of 2004, we've thanked our Fan Club members for their support with a themed monthly gallery.

We think up a theme, and our Dirty Dozen creates away, filling the gallery with all kinds of things to inspire and enable, and to give you a little something extra for your contributions to Splitcoast. Last year we wondered how fun it would be to get our Fan Club members to play along in challenges with us, and Dare to Get Dirty week was born.

What's this all about?
Easy. It's all about you. Sure, wer'e playing, too, but we want to see what you do when challenged! Our Dirty Dozen Designers, both past and present, have a fun week planned for you. You'll see a little of everything - inspiration, 3D items, color and layout challenges, techniques, tutorials . . . . and besides the stamping part of things, we wanted to add something else, more personal interaction! We've got everything all pre-posted and ready to go, and the girls will be there in the chat threads to answer any of your pressing questions. If you've ever wondered how someone does something, ask away. They're there to dish and share their secrets with you!

Do I have to do them all?
Nah, just do what you can or what grabs you, or just jump in and chat with the girls if you can't actually stamp during the challenges. We want to see your work and get to know you better!

What if I do do them all?
Good question! How about a prize drawing for those who complete all of the challenges (combining challenges is cool, of course!) and upload by August 1?

Check this thread for details.

So when does it all start?
Monday, July 21, we'll post the first set of challenges, and will continue posting challenges through Sunday, July 27, 2008.

Is this all going to happen at midnight?
Oh, no. We don't have the strength for that! Look for the challenges right here in this forum at around 9 AM Pacific Time. We'll post all of the challenges for the day at the same time, and we'll also have a master challenge thread with all the links and keywords you'll need all in one place, stickied at the top of this forum. To keep things easy, we'll have separate chat threads for each challenge posted at the same time we post the challenges.

We're ready. Are you?
Check this thread for more details, and watch this forum for challenges and chatter.
