Splitcoaststampers DTGD Day Four

Hello and welcome.  Today's the fourth 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.

 

I have tried my best to use either some never before used stuff, or rarely used, as much as possible.  I'm also determined to get my Christmas cards made before October this year.   Here are my cards for today.
