Challenge #141 - I {Heart} You

2012-01-22T07:00:00.008-05:00

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenge! Thank you to everyone who played along with our "Ring in the New Year" challenge! We thoroughly enjoyed all of your amazing projects! There have been some issues with blogger and commenting so please forgive us if we were not able to leave you some love on your entry. We do try to get to everyone, but sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control that prevent this.

Also, we have a new rule that is being instituted beginning with this challenge. To be fair to everyone who wants to join in the fun at The Corrosive Challenges, we are going to restrict the number of entries per person to three. If you have any questions about our rules, please refer to the side bar.

Okay, now that we've taken care of that business, we have a fabulous new theme for you this fortnight, but we have the same awesome sponsor:

Kenny K has generously offered a prize of 5 digital images to our winner for the month so I know you'll want to join in for your chance to win!

Our new challenge for the next two weeks is "I {Heart} You"! With Valentine's Day less than a month away we want to see hearts! As long as there is one (or more) somewhere on your creation you'll qualify to play along!

Let's see what our lovely and talented design team has been up to....

I hope you'll pop by their blogs to leave them some love! I am thrilled to have such a talented team going into the new year! It will be complete once Susan is fully healed and able to rejoin us.

Challenge #139 - Anything EXCEPT Christmas and Design Team Call

2011-12-11T07:00:00.015-05:00

Welcome to our last Corrosive Challenge of the year! We will be taking a little hiatus for the holidays so the design team can enjoy time with family and friends and rest up for the wonderful things we have planned for you for 2012! Before we get to our new theme, though, I want to thank the few brave souls who attempted our "CASE a Design Team Member" challenge. Some of you really seemed to enjoy it!

Our winner for November is: Sarah of Aunt Bee's Pickles! You can see her adorable Pilgrim Sheep card here.
Sarah, you have won a $20 gift voucher from Inktegrity! You also have the opportunity to be our guest designer for January. Please contact Regan at charmed_stamping(at)charter(dot)net to make arrangements for your prize.

A new month means a new sponsor and do we have something fabulous lined up for you! We are proud to welcome Krista Smith of Saturat ed Canary digis (and Simply Sassy rubber stamps)! Krista is amazing and if you'd like to learn more about this dynamic wife, mother, artist, and fashion lover visit her blog Saturated Canary. Krista has generously agreed to provide our winner for this challenge with two Saturated Canary images of choice from her etsy.com shop.

And now on to our challenge! Is it me or does time seem to be going by faster these days? It seems like we just started the last challenge and *poof* it's over and time for a new one! The hustle and bustle of the holiday season always seems to have this effect, doesn't it? With all the planning and prep that goes into to our holiday festivities, we thought you might be on Christmas overload at the moment. After all that decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking, and assorted merry-making we thought you might be just a tad burnt out on all this 'tis the season fa-la-la-la la-la-la-la! So before you go bah hum bug on us, we're going to give you a crafty break from the holidays - an excuse to create "Anything EXCEPT Christmas"! That's right. No holiday stuff AT ALL. Nada. Zip. Zero. Give us birthday. Valentine's Day. Groundhog Day. Whatever your little hearts desire as long as it's NOT any of those December holidays.

We are also looking to expand our design team for 2012! If you love the Corrosive Challenges and want to work with some fabulous digi companies in the new year simply put "DT" after your name when linking your creation. Candidates selected will be notified via e-mail after January 1st to discuss details.

For this fortnight's challenge, the Corrosive design team ladies were lucky enough to each chose an image from Krista shop. Let's see what non-holiday creations they have for you:

Linda's adorable Queen of Hearts card will steal yours!

Regan created a Thinking of You card with the darling image Wispy, a Fairy.

Kellie's cute card uses the image Hot Cocoa, A (chilly) Ragamuffin.

This gorgeous snowy scene is Debra's project using A Winter Ragamuffin.

Challenge #138 - CASE a Design Team Member

2011-11-27T07:00:00.008-05:00

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenge! Time goes by so quickly these days! It seems like our "Give Thanks" challenge just started and now it's time for a new one! Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun last time! This fortnight we have something a little different for you... We've all done it before - seen a card or project we absolutely loved and copied it. We even have an acronym for it: CASE (Copy And Share Everything). Well, they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? So for this fortnight we would love to see YOUR creations inspired by OUR creations. That's right the challenge is "CASE a Design Team Member"! In your post we ask that you tell us who you chose & why and what elements from their design you incorporated into yours.

We have a fabulous sponsor this month, Inktegrity, and owner Joni Wilson has offered up a generous prize of a $20 gift voucher to spend in her on-line shop for November's winner.

On a personal design team note, I just wanted to let you know that our lovely and talented Susan will be out of commission for an indefinite period as I learned today that she was admitted to the hospital yesterday with a broken leg and DVT. We are all sending her healing thoughts and hope she will be back to her crafting soon! Now, let's see what the rest of the design team has created for you:

Kellie has an enchanting Christmas card to share.

Regan's vintage card features two of her favorite things - flowers and bling!

Our guest designer, Jennifer, has used the adorable Takoda the Kitty image from sponsor Inktegrity.

Linda's sweet card features a snowman from Penny Black.

Debra's sweet card uses a fairy image from sponsor Inktegrity.

Challenge #137 - Give Thanks

2011-11-13T07:00:00.013-05:00

Hello and welcome to a new month of challenges at The Corrosive Challenge! Before we get to our new sponsor and our new challenge, I would like to thank everyone who joined us for our "With a Flourish" challenge! We have just been amazed at the participation we have been seeing, and we are so happy you are enjoying our challenges!

Our winner for October is: Julie Temple! Congratulations Julie, we love your witchy card :D
You get a fabulous prize from Doodle Pantry and Karen's Doodles! You also have the opportunity to be our guest designer for December! Please contact either Susan or Regan to make arrangements to receive your prize!

This fortnight the theme is "Give Thanks". For some that might mean Thanksgiving and turkey and football and family. To others, simply a thoughtful thank you card. Either way, we want to see them here! And we have a fabulous new sponsor and prize for you as well!

Our sponsor for November is Inktegrity:! Here is a little bit about the company from owner, Joni Wilson:

Thank you to the wonderful team here at Corrosive Challenge, I am so excited to be here!
First and foremost, I am a Christian who has been blessed with an amazing life. My husband and I have 6 children, ranging from 3 to 16 years old. Our 3 boys and 3 girls keep our hearts and scehdules full. My husband is currently in the Army (his job) and also coaches high school football (his dream career). Being a SAHM in a military world has taught me so much about myself and the importance of family, especially since I am so far away from my home state of Hawaii.
I have always loved drawing and wanted images that were user friendly, regardless of age, for my card making. At first I would send them to friends to play with when I started receiving emails asking when they would be available for purchase. I opened Inktegrity, a tiny digi company with a variety of digital images for crafters to use. My site can be found here, and although the blog has been on hiatus since my recent move, the inspiration is always a joy to peruse through!
One of my favorite things is meeting new friends in the blogging world. I love sponsoring challenge sites and meeting new friends who create with Inktegrity!

Joni has generously offered up a $20 gift voucher to her on-line shop as our prize this month so you'll want to join in the fun!

Now let's see what inspiration the design team has created for you this time!

Our guest designer for November is Jen from JLJDesigns and she's created this beautiful card to start things off.

Linda's card this week features a cute little squirrel from our sponsor, Inktegrity.

Kellie's has created a charming pocket card with the Pumpkin House image from sponsor Inktegrity.

Regan used the Fall Tractor set from sponsor Inktegrity to make this fun Fall card.

Susan has gone vintage this week with her Thank You card.

Debra has made a very cute Thanksgiving card for us this fortnight.

Thanks to everyone who shared their creations with us! The new challenge for this fortnight is "With a Flourish". We want you to do exactly that - add a flourish to your project! It could be chipboard, bling, die cut, a stamped image, or patterned paper.... The type of flourish is entirely up to you! We can't wait to see your interpretation of the theme!

This is the last challenge for the month of October, and we would again like to thank our two generous sponsors - Doodle Pantry and Karen's Doodles! They have each provided a lovely prize for this month's winner so if you'd like a chance to win, this is your last chance to join in.
