More is More

Happy Friday!  It is my turn to host a Dare to Get Dirty Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!  If you’re already a Fan Club Member and playing along this week, you can just scroll down to my sample and then come on over and play.  However, if you have no idea what I’m talking about, allow me to explain.

SCS is the biggest stamping community on the web and membership has always been free.  Back in the day when it was owned by it’s creator, Daven Nolta, and the growth of the membership exploded it started getting expensive to maintain.  Daven insisted on keeping the site free, but members began to make donations to keep things running.  This is how the Fan Club was born.  And as a thank you to the Fan Club Members, the Dirty Dozen Design Team was formed.  This is a team of 12 talented designers who create projects for a specially themed gallery each month that is only available to Fan Club Members.  Dirty Girls consider it a huge honor to be asked to serve a 6 month term on the team.

I was lucky enough to be on the Dirty Dozen back in 2006.  The first Dare to Get Dirty week was held in the Summer of 2007 to give Fan Club Member a chance to play along and chat with DD Alumni.  It was a huge hit and has been held every Summer ever since.  We host several challenges every day for a week and you can play as few or as many as you’d like.   If you’re interested in becoming a Fan Club Member you can get all the info by clicking here.

Here’s the first sample for my challenge.  Can you guess what the challenge is?

You’re probably not shocked that I used the new Taylored Expressions set Embrace Beauty, huh?  I’m just a little stuck on this set at the moment. (Although I did also make a 2nd SUO sample, that I will share tomorrow.)  I was so excited to receive the Echo Park Victoria Gardens 6×6 pad in the mail the other day!  I have been chomping at the bit to get this pad and I was NOT disapointed!  It is GORGEOUS!  Here I’ve paired it with SU Pear and Black cardstocks.  Other supplies used are Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs die, Kaiser Craft black pearls and Smooch Illuminate (all from TE).  I just love how this turned out!

Don’t forget – there is still time to win your favorite stamp set from the Taylored Expressions.  Just pop in to the TE Forum and let us know which new set is your fave and you’ll be entered to win.  You have through Saturday night at 6 pm PST to enter.

I hope you’ll come on over to SCS and play in my challenge.  It’s a pretty easy one, I think.  😉  Thanks for stopping by!
