Splitcoaststampers DTGD 022 Day Seven

Hello and welcome.  I'm totally hoping today's post doesn't get deleted since I have to go redo my Day Six post because blogger thinks cards, and stamping in general, endanger children.  Go figure!

 

Today's the seventh, and final, day of the most anticipated week of the year over at Splitcoaststampers.com.  Every year the design team, aka Dirty Dozen, host a week of challenges for the Fan Club as a way to say thank you for supporting the website.  This year, as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Fan Club, the challenges are open to everyone that wants to play along.  Come play along with us.  You can learn a new technique, find new ways to use your stash, chat with the Dirty Dozen and have a chance to win some fabulous prizes.
