Dare to Get Dirty 2017 - 7/29 - 8/4

[UnderstandBlue]

Come celebrate with us
Since July of 2004, we’ve thanked our Fan Club members for supporting Splitcoast financially with a themed monthly gallery. We think up a theme, and our twelve talented designers create 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. We know you love to ogle the projects every month, and we know you’re all immensely talented, too.

Then we thought - how fun would it be get our Fan Club members to play along in challenges with us? With that thought, Dare to Get Dirty week was born. We're happy to celebrate our 13th anniversary with you with a week full of stamping challenges.


So 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 you're 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 dirty little 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 9th at 11:59 PM CST?


So when does it all start?
Saturday, July 29th, we’ll post the first set of challenges here, and will continue posting challenges through Friday, August 4th.

Are there any rules?

Have fun! Combine challenges, go nuts with one challenge and do ten entries. Upload to your gallery, post your creations on your blog . . . just keep the details of the challenges in the Fan Club forum, okay? (This means in your description, don't say: "This card is for Kim's challenge to use blue and yellow - challenge details are for Fan Club members only) That’s it!

Only Fan Club Members will be able to upload to this event gallery and win prizes, but everyone will be able to view and comment on your creations.

So if you haven't joined the Fan Club yet - what are you waiting for? This is your Dirty Dare! Join here and join in the fun!

OH - and did I mention there are prizes? Because there are prizes. Details will be posted in the Dare to Get Dirty forum

Blinkie attached!

Hooray! DTGD is the reason I joined the fan club a looong time ago! I had a lapse of a week or two here and there over the years, because I also had a lapse in memory and forgot to renew in time, but I'm still all in and SO EXCITED about this! I just quit my job, so I may even have time to MAKE some things! Woo hoo!

Calendar marked!

My room is a MESS. I have been in a slump for a couple of months. But DTGD gives me a much needed nudge to get organized. I need this soooooooooooo much!

Question? will we receive a list of items it might be handy to have for use during DTGD? With this being my first time to participate, I want to be sure I can have a chance to do all the cool items I have heard about from past events. Yes,,,I am a tad OC

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 8th at 11:59 PM CST?

Have you checked whether your fan club membership hasn't expired? That's the only reason I can think of for you to be getting that message. Happened to me one year, , somehow I missed the renewal notice and didn't realise till I couldn't access DTGD.

[UnderstandBlue]

Fixed the dates!

Thanks for that info-- I'm actually not in the fan club (and missed that detail in the first post), so that would explain it!

I just checked my subscription to find it expires at the end of July, so luckily renewed it in time to make sure I will access DTDG challenges. I hope this will kick-start my mojo.

I'm a paid member and have been since 2007, but I can't open the list. I just get letter and numbers. I haven't been able to open any of them for years. Is this because I use an iPad? Or iPhone? If so is there something else that I need to do? Technology is not my friend.

Thanks Tonda

I hate to ask. For where your cards are. I have been lurking and tonight have decided to join in the fun.
Respond in small words and short sentences. This week I have the attention span of a gnat!

[Tonda Baldwin]

What is the blinkie? And why can't I open it?

I think that's something you put on your blog. I don't have a blog so I've never checked on it.

[2ndJett]

hum. I just want to look -
Thank you Muscrat. How would I find cards that YOU have posted. 37,877 posts - wow.


OOPS - hovered over your name - a whole new world for me every minute!

Yes, it's an annual challenge, normally at the end of July into the first week of August.

[Sweet RN]

Thank you!

[cdimick]

I sure hope I can get settled enough to play this year. I LOVE this challenge! But, we just moved this last weekend and trying to settle in while working is challenging! Boxes, boxes, everywhere.
