I have a Fan Club membership to Splitcoast Stampers. It is the best $25 I spend in a year, and have been doing since I first saw this awesome site. It is a treasure trove of cards, scrapping, and 3D / altered art that will blow your mind when you go through it. The gallery has millions of samples with a special section JUST for Stampin' Up!stamps. You can go through, find a stamp set, and look at all the cards made with just that set. Everyone can see this, but...
The Fan club member gets special privileges!! If you decide to start your own gallery, you get automatic uploads, so no waiting for approvals. The best part is the Dirty Dozen Gallery. There are 12 girls in a group that rotates and they all do their best work for one month following a theme. Then, they post the creations to a gallery that only the Fan Club members can see. You are also entitled to the templates, ideas, etc. that are posted. BUT, you don't just get to see that month. You get to see ALL the galleries back to July 2004, when they first started. This is the cheapest subscription you can have, in my opinion. And someone is going to get it super cheap - FREE!
Yep, just post a comment here and, on Saturday, I will draw a name for the winner to a year's subscription to the Fan Club Membership. You can post as may times as you want, so have at 'er.
Edited to Add : Even if you already have a membership, you can still post. They would just add it on as a renewal to your existing account!!
I can see how popular your blog site is with all these comments for your great offer
We all love your work!!
Count me in -
Thanks
Jo

I meant to say in my previous post that I love SCS and have wanted to join this club for a while now, but never got around to actually doing it, and now, with my husband not being able to work, it's just not going to be in the budget....thanks for the opportunity.
Posted by: karla | September 27, 2008 at 01:31 PM
I'm probably too late for this...I have been running back and forth to the hospital as my hubby nearly amputated his hand the other day and I just haven't had the time to keep up on my emails...hope I'm not too late!

I'm back to enter again, because I *had* to post and tell you about my "what the heck is that?" moment.
I was looking at the video posted at the top of your blog, trying to figure out *what* was walking on the beach.
I saw a creature walking away from the camera, in a boufy dress, with their hands in the pockets.....(like "Jar Jar Binks" sp?) I looked and looked and watch the video over and over....
Then I looked at it differently one day and it hit me...it was a person holding their hands above their head like they are holding the sun. Boy did I feel like a dork!!! haha
Posted by: Debi H. | September 26, 2008 at 04:46 PM
Stamping is my joy in life. Your creations have inspired me and added so much to my joy! Would love to win the Fan Club membership so I can see what you're talking about!
