Come & Celebrate!

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. A couple years ago, 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 was born.

What's this all about?
Easy. It's all about you. Sure, we're playing, too, but we want to see what you do when challenged! Our Dirty Dozen Designers, both past and present, have a fun weekend 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! If you've ever wondered how someone does something, ask away. They'll be 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 some prize drawings for those who complete all of the challenges (combining challenges is cool, of course!) and upload by August 1?

So when does it all start?
Thursday, July 23, we'll post the first set of challenges, and will continue posting challenges through Saturday, July 25, 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 Eastern Time. We'll post challenges every couple of hours, 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.

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