Challenge #153 - Sentimentally Yours

Hello!  Yay!  July is here, and today it's time for a new Corrosive Challenge!  We were blown away by your entries for our "Summertime Girls" challenge!  So many stunning creations!  But only one of those could be a winner.  Random.org selected the second challenge and #57 as our June winner!


Congrats to Deonna B.
Here is her amazing project:

Deonna, please contact me to make arrangements for your prize and to discuss the August guest designer opportunity!

Another very special thanks to our June sponsor Mayzy Art!  

A new month brings us a new sponsor and it is the wonderfully witty, superbly sarcastic Graphicat Designs!


Prize: $15 voucher


**Graphicat Stamps are stamps for the light hearted, good natured, sarcastic beast in all of us. We have our own line of Digital and Rubber stamps, mostly based around humour. I have always thought a card was supposed to cheer someone up, and when making my own cards, with all the wicked cool images out there to use now, I was always looking for the sarcastic, fun twist of a sentiment.... and when I couldn't find them I started making my own! They were so popular that I started my own line. If you check out our website, you will find we also carry lots of other stamps and paper crafting products. We are based in Canada!! Which is why we are so funny of course! Sure hope you can pop by to check us out at www.graphicatstamps.com**

Cheri has generously offered a $15 voucher for use in the store to our July winner!

This fortnight we have a fun new theme that is a perfect fit with our sponsor - "Sentimentally Yours".  We want to see a sentiment on the front of your creation.  It can be used in conjunction with an image or used all by itself as a focal point; either is acceptable.

We also have a little extra treat for you today!  We are previewing the new layout over from Graphicat Sketches before their challenge starts tomorrow.  And as a bonus, anyone who combines this sketch with their challenge entry for us will get an extra entry for the prize draw here!  Simply link a second time (to your general blog) and type "SKETCH" after your name.  Don't forget to enter over at Graphicat Sketches too for a shot at their prize as well if you do!  You can see the sneak peek here now and get a head start.  You'll see it in some of the design team creations too!



Now let's see what our fabulous design team has done with this challenge:

Hello and welcome to our 2nd Corrosive challenge of the month!  Thanks to everyone who entered out "Feeling Punchy" challenge!  We were happy to see so many to "die" for entries!  Unfortunately, our May winner did not contact us and did not respond to our correspondence.  Therefore we will have a redraw and will e-mail the winner for confirmation before making an announcement.We have a new challenge of course, but first, a word from our sponsor....

Our fabulous sponsor for June is Mayzy Art!  Mayzy is offering 8 of her fantastic digis as our prize this month!  She really does have something for everyone in her etsy shop!

The challenge this fortnight is "Summertime Girls"!  We want to see your sunny, summery, summertime creations AND they MUST include a female image on them somewhere.  I'm sure I'm the only one singing the 80s hair band Y&T's song, but it's okay.  It makes me happy.  :)  You have 2 weeks to link up your projects for a chance at our awesome prize!

Let's see what the design team has created:
