Dare to Get Dirty Challenges

Over at Splitcoaststampers, the Dare to Get Dirty challenges have been going on all week!  There are 5 challenges a day so at the end I made 35 cards!  Have you been playing along too??

Being newly retired meant I could make my 5 cards each day at my leisure and not into the middle of the night after work -  what a thrill!!  

We are not supposed to disclose the exact details of the challenge as participants need to be a member of the SCS Fan Club but I have listed their titles here so perhaps you can figure it out?!!?

Here are the first 5 cards I made:
The Challenge:  Let it Run

The Challenge:  Block It Out
I'm linking this card to the Merry Monday Summer Challenge:
From Feb 2017 challenge - clean and simple

The Challenge - The Eyes Have It
The Challenge - Resistance is Not Futile
The Challenge -  In the Background
I'll be posting more of my cards over the next week!

  3. WOW! That's a huge accomplishment to keep up with all the challenges. I tried one year and failed (and yes, I was retired at the time!). :) I think I managed to enter six or seven challenges this year, which is more than I expected. :)

    Anyways, great cards, Julia. They are all so creative and unique! xx

  4. Well done on 35 cards, Julia - fantastic! Just love the ones you posted today, especially the "let it run" - very cool. Your Merry Monday entry (which brought me to this post) looks great with the strips of patterns!
