Challenge # 209 - Halloween Colors

Holy Moly!  Already the last weekend in September?!  When did that happen?  LOL.  We hope everyone is still finding time to craft in between fall festivals and football games.  To help get you going, we have a fun new challenge for you, but first, our sponsors:

We are always pleased to welcome back Simply B Stamps!

Here's a little about the company in owner Betty's own words:

"Simply Betty Stamps was born around the same time my little guy was born.  Having had to close down my actual scrapbook and rubber stamp store due to his early arrival I was stuck at home with nothing to do.  I started blogging and learned about digis, and thought... hey I can draw!  I wanted to work, but didn't want to do the 9-5 nor leave my baby, so...Simply Betty Stamps came about.  I have tend to put out what is close to me and my heart, my kids!  My teens as well as my Bettys and Judes are inspired by my kids shenanigans and that of my own!  I hope to inspire as well as learn from others in this crafty community."

Betty has generously offered our winner a $15 gift voucher to her online shop!  You can find all her fun and funky images HERE!  Whether you love digis, rubber, or clear stamps, Betty has an eclectic mix that's sure to please the "quirk in you"!

And that's not all, once again, we have not one but two amazing sponsors!  

We are excited to also welcome back Aurora Wings and the beautiful fantasy art of Mitzi Sato-Wiuff.  Here is a little about Mitzi from her website:

"Being originally from Japan, my work reflects the influence of the vintage shoujo manga and classic tattoo artists of my native country.  There is a strong emphasis on the clean and detailed line art  hand drawn in pen on paper, which is colored digitally in my own unique coloring technique using Corel Painter program.  My fusion of traditional and digital media produces a look reminiscent of watercolor paintings.  I hope my fantasy images will take you into the world of pure imagination, presenting each subject in fluid lines and beautiful colors."

Mitzi is offering a $10 gift certificate for a lucky winner!

Now let's get down to business! Halloween is serious business to many members of our team. The decorating, the dressing up, the candy, the fun, the FABULOUS COLORS...which leads us to your challenge: create a project containing any combination of the following colors: black, orange, purple, green (white/cream and kraft are also allowed).

Here's what the team scared up from their craftrooms:

Challenge # 178 - Shape Up!

Happy 4th of July weekend!  It's always nice when a holiday falls near the end of the week as it often means a nice long weekend for a lot of people.  We hope everyone has gotten their fill of fireworks, parades, band music, and BBQ.  We also hope everyone is ready to play along with our brand new challenge!

We are always pleased to welcome back our fabulous sponsor, Simply B Stamps!

Here's a little about the company in owner Betty's own words:

"Simply Betty Stamps was born around the same time my little guy was born.  Having had to close down my actual scrapbook and rubber stamp store due to his early arrival I was stuck at home with nothing to do.  I started blogging and learned about digis, and thought... hey I can draw!  I wanted to work, but didn't want to do the 9-5 nor leave my baby, so...Simply Betty Stamps came about.  I have tend to put out what is close to me and my heart, my kids!  My teens as well as my Bettys and Judes are inspired by my kids shenanigans and that of my own!  I hope to inspire as well as learn from others in this crafty community."

The challenge for this fortnight is to "Shape Up".  No, we don't want you to go on a diet or start working out!  It just means no square or rectangular cards.  FAR easier than getting in actual shape, right?!  

Here's how the team worked it out, using images provided by Simply B Stamps:

So, throw on some sweats, and show us some "outside the box" creations!

Happy New Year!  The Corrosive Challenge is back and ready to take on 2013!  We have some changes... A new look for the blog!  A new sponsor and prize for EVERY challenge!  Yup, every fortnight you'll see not only a new challenge, but a new sponsor and a new prize for one lucky random participant as well.  We are retiring our guest designer position, but will be selecting a Top 3.  These crafters will get to have their creations featured on the blog in our separate Monday winners' post!  How fabulous is that?!?!

Out with the old, I say....  And in with the new- we will be announcing our new design team members on January 20th!

And that brings us to our first challenge of the year!  Please welcome our sponsor, Simply Betty Stamps!
