Challenge # 166 - Put A Pin In It

The Corrosive Challenge is excited to announce four new team members:  Carla, Ruza, AJ and Julie.  They all had fantastic projects for our Design Team call, and will be adding more diversity and talent to the team.  Be sure to check out their blogs and leave them some love!

We are also very pleased to welcome a brand new Sponsor A and T Digital Designs home of 
 the Emerald Faeries Stamps.   Anita has not only generously offer several images to the DT for use in this challenge, but she is providing a fabulous prize of 3 digis from her shop for our winner!

Our new challenge this fortnight is to use hat, push, or safety pins AND/OR this "Pinspirational" photo:

We found this on Pinterest, isn't it an amazing project?!  And crafter Ronda graciously granted us permission to use her fabulous creation for our challenge!  Pinterest is a fabulous website, but it can be dangerous to productivity!  Lol.

Challenge #165 - Out with the Old

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!

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"!

Our challenge this fortnight is "Out with the Old".  Use up some of those items you've got in your stash, the older the better!  Don't forget to tell us what you used in your post.

Let's see what the design team has created to ring in the new year:

LINDA

Stash: card stock and metal corner

JASMINE

MAGS

Stash: everything except buttons

RACHELLE

Stash: skull & crossbones designer paper

Challenge #163 - Anything Goes

Hello!  We know this is a busy time of year for everyone, and we want to thank all the amazing crafters who joined us for our Flutter By challenge!  We hope everyone in the US is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend!  I'm taking a bit of time out from turkey leftovers, shopping, and decorating to tell you about our new Corrosive Challenge!  First, though, here is a little info about our November sponsor:

A Day For Daisies (also known as ADFD) provides themed categories of over 1000 digital illustrations, including fairy tales and magical mermaids, cutie kids, vintage illustrations, sentiments and lovely designs for all occasions.  Be sure to check out what is available in the shop, and head over to the blog for some awesome inspiration!

 ADFD will provide a $12 Gift Certificate (that's equal to 3 images of choice) to the shop for this month's winner!


This will be our final challenge for the year.  The design team is going to be taking a well-deserved and much needed hiatus to enjoy the holidays and our families.  BUT we will be holding a design team call in December!  So if you think you might be interested in joining the team set aside a little time to apply and check back with us on December 9th.

Our last Corrosive Challenge of 2012 is "Anything Goes".  There are many fantastic A Day For Daisies images that are perfect for playing along.  Here's what the team has to share:
