The Corrosive Challenge is taking a break for the holidays. We will return January 8th with new challenges and sponsors for 2012! We'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for your support this year! We love seeing your creations! To all our fabulous and generous sponsors - you are amazing and we couldn't run this challenge blog without you! I'd also like to thank our wonderful design team.... Linda, Debra, and Kellie, thank you for all you do, ladies! And lastly, I'd like to ask that everyone send some healing wishes to Susan of Susan's Crafty Chaos! She has been laid up with a broken leg and is very much missed here! Get well soon, Susan!
From all of us here at The Corrosive Challenge, Merry Christmas to you and yours! May your holidays be wrapped in the warmth of family and friends! And may your New Year be safe, happy, and bright!
{hugs}

Challenge #139 - Anything EXCEPT Christmas and Design Team Call
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 Saturated 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
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.

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!
