Corrosive Challenge December Sketch

 
This month we're changing things up a little at The Corrosive Challenge.  We will be holding a design team call all month long! So if you think you might be interested in joining the team set aside a little time to apply.  Our awesome team member KATHY provided a sketch for everyone to play along with, and it is an awesome one!  This one definitely challenged me, but the end result was satisfying.

 I started with an image from Tickled Pink Stamps I have had for a long time now.  Unfortunately I think the company has closed now.


She is colored with Copics with some icicle Stickles added to her coat and boots, I cut her out with an oval die, and flipped the sketch to accomodate the image.  Everything is popped up with foam dots to give it some dimension.
I really wanted the snowflake border (Tim Holtz "Snow Flurries" On the Edge Die) to stick out so I moved it closer to the edge of the card, and also placed on on the inside of the card.
 
Papers:  Stash and g.c.d. Studios "Sophisticated Frost" 12X12 pad.
Embellies:  K & Co "Snowflakes" sticker medley, Hemptique "Metallic Classic" twine.
 
I know there is some amazing talent out there, from seeing everyone's entries throughout the year, so I look forward to seeing your design team entries! 
 
Hoping everyone has a magical, warm, wonderful Holiday Season!

Dilly Beans Traditional Christmas Colors Challenge

Hi there folks.  I know I've been a bit quiet lately.  Just haven't been feeling inspired or crafty lately, even though I have many many Christmas cards to make.  I just haven't been much in the mood, but I finally found enough mojo to complete a card for my Stepbrother and his wife who live in Los Angeles.  I have to get theirs done early so I can get it shipped off in time. 

I almost always end up feeling inspired when I use a Dilly Beans image, and this was no exception.  I just adore Holly Girl, and plan on making a few more Holiday cards with her.  And it was perfect luck that the current challenge at Dilly Beans Challenge was Traditional Christmas Colors.  Hooray! 
She is colored with Copics, with glossy accents added to the holly berries.  I stayed pretty true to the sketch, other than adding a coordinating ribbon.  I added some W.O.C. roses, and green rhinestones from stash.  Papers were from 2 different 12X12 pads.

Sketch #234 at Sketch Saturday

Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm hoping little by little my creativity will come back, because the cards aren't going to make themselves!  LOL.

Dreams Come True

Good morning!  Hope everyone is contentedly stuffed full of Turkey, mashed potatoes and pies.  I LOVE turkey dinner.  It's so hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner now.  My family really enjoys Christmas and lights, and decorating and Christmas music though, so it can never come soon enough for me :-)  One more challenge to go for The Corrosive Challenge this month with our fabulous sponsor, A Day For Daisies.  The challenge this week is....Anything Goes!  Couldn't be easier than that!
I needed a card for a Bridal shower, and Dreams Do Come True was perfect for the occasion.  She is colored with Copics.  Sentiment is one I have had for sometime, cut out with a circle punch mounted on shimmery red cardstock cut out with scalloped circle Spellbinder and popped up with foam.
Papers:  Cloud 9 Design "Cinnamon Stick" stack, others from stash
Embellies:  Wilton 4" Silver doily, Recollections Embellishments pack Aqua flower and Antique lace chipboard, W.O.C. Roses and Cherry Blossoms, Glitter Hearts from stash, Hemptique "Metallic Classic" twine.
We are really looking forward to seeing all sorts of creations over at The Corrosive Challenge.  The sky's the limit!
Thanks for dropping by.

Corrosive Challenge - Flutter By

Good morning all.  I can't believe it's time for November challenges!  Where on earth does the time go?  How is Christmas only 2 months away?!  I will say October was a challenging month for myself and my family for many reasons, and so many people have been devastated by Hurricane Sandy.  My thoughts are with everyone effected by the storm.  Here's hoping that November is a better month for everyone.

We're off too a good start, because this month at The Corrosive Challenge I am so excited about our sponsor for November, A Day For Daisies! I have been a fan of ADFD for quite awhile.  I just love all the fairies, pixies, vintage, and just positively whimsical images available.  The first challenge of the month is "Flutter By".  We want to see a project featuring something with wings.  I chose to work with an image I have had printed for awhile called "Small Friend".  My son was in the room when I decided to start coloring, so I asked him his opinion and he was adamant about purple hair, so that's where I started and it all "took off" (pun intended, lol) from there.
Sketch was # 232 from Sketch Saturday
I decided to keep things relatively clean and simple, and stick with the sketch for the most part. I did add some W.O.C. purple cherry blossoms in the corner to add a little dimension.  The image is colored with Copics, and cut with a Scalloped Circle Spellbinder.  I sponged around the image with Studio G yellow chalks ink.  The green paper was Bazzill Basics - Two Scoops "Mint Chip", and the purple was from stash.  Brads, pearls, and velvet ribbon also from stash.  I also added Eucalyptus Stickles to the wings, and glossy accents to the snail.  That's about it, folks!
I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, and to seeing some inspiring "flighty" creations at The Corrosive Challenge.

Thanks so much for popping in!

Corrosive Challenge # 161 - Know When to Fold 'Em

"This is Halloween, this is Halloween".  Close enough anyways!  My son has been cracking me up lately singing the theme song from A Nightmare Before Christmas.  He saw it for the first time recently and can't stop singing.  He is also partial to The Monster Mash.  It's no surprise that he is a fan of Halloween, as it is one of the hubby and my favorite holidays.  We try to go all out with lights and tons of carved pumpkins, and decorations that move and make spooky sounds or talk to you.  We are hoping the impending storm doesn't interfere too much with the big day.

This month at The Corrosive Challenge we welcomed back an amazing Sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs. There are some awesome new Disney Villain and Halloween releases available right now. Perfect for playing along with our challenges!  Be sure to check them out.

For the last of our October challenges, we want to see if you "know when to fold 'em" show us a card with more than one fold.  This was another good challenge for me, as the only "fancy fold" I have done is an easel card.  I cased a card from my teammate Regan from Charmed Stamping and tried out a twisted easel.  It really was quite simple, and yields a very cool result.

 This card was for my dad for his birthday, ANOTHER October birthday boy!  My cousin, son, dad, Grandfather and co-worker all have October birthdays!
My dad has always loved nature, and the outdoors, and hiking, camping and going on adventures.  Last year for his birthday he was on an unguided rafting trip down the Colorado river for 3 weeks!  I chose to work with the Green Man image from Delicious Doodles.

 
Green Man is colored with Copics, with glossy accents and some stickles added for some dimension.  Sketch was # 227 at Sketch Saturday.

Papers:  Bo Bunny "Apple Cider Autumn", "Apple Cider Stripe".
Embellies:  Jolee's Boutique Dimensional Felt Acorn, EK Success Maple Leaf stickers, Hemptique Metallic classic cord, Ribbon, brads and pearls from stash.

Can't wait to see all the Fancy Folds people come up with for our new challenge at The Corrosive Challenge.  

Hopefully the impending Hurricane is not as bad as they are saying, hope everyone stays safe and sound.

May The Cake Be With You

This was the first of many October birthday cards to make this month.  My cousin just started his Freshman year at Phillips Academy, no small feat!  He is an awesome young man, and has always loved Star Wars, so I knew this freebie from Mayzy Art was perfect for him.

Leah and Hans are colored with Copics and popped up on foam squares.  The layout was #28 at Fetch-a-sketch.  I cut out around them using Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles, then mounted that onto a larger cut out.  The edges are inked with studio g gold ink.
Sentiment was just computer generated, I wanted to do some sort of funny play on a Star Wars quote.
 
Papers:  Die Cuts with a view 8X8 "Black Star Swirl Gold", and "Stag Star Gold".
Embellies:  Queen and Co pearls, Recollections rhinestone swirls, Wilton Silver 4" doily.

Challenges Entered:
Crafty Catz - A MALE CARD
Stampin for the Weekend - #20 Anything Goes
Craft Us Crazy - #29 Black and/or Party

Thanks for looking, and be sure to stop by The Corrosive Challenge on Sunday for the last of our October Challenges!

Corrosive Challenge #160 - Treacherous Treats


Trick-or-Treat!  Well, maybe no tricks this time.  Our new challenge for this fortnight at The Corrosive Challenge Blog is to  make a Halloween themed treat holder or container.

This month we are lucky enough to welcome back an amazing Sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs. There are some awesome new Disney Villain and Halloween releases available right now.  Perfect for playing along with our challenge!  I decided to work with Wicked Honey part of the Halloween Honey's collection at the Sassy Studio Designs Store.  I love her!
Picking the image was easy, but this truly was a challenge for me.  At first I was going to buy a pre-made container of some sort, but I really wanted it all to be handmade, so after a little googling, I decided on a cone holder.  It worked out perfectly because it also looks a little like a witch hat!  I simply took a piece of design paper and made a cone, glued the edges together and trimmed the top to make a circle.  I added black feathers around the rim, and attached a ribbon for hanging.  I also added a tassel to the bottom using more feathers, a circle sentiment ("A Treat For You"), and ribbon to hang it.  I added pearls, flowers and some stickers to give it all some dimension.


She is colored with Copics, and cut out using a beaded oval Spellbinder die cut.  I added glossy accents to her lips and eyes, and Eucalyptus stickles to the cobwebs on her hat and sash.

This was a super fun project, and now I have a handmade decoration to add to my collection of Halloween stash!  Can't wait to see some sickeningly sweet projects at The Corrosive Challenge Blog. Come and join the fun!

Punkin' Shower


My friend's sister is having a fall baby and her shower theme was pumpkins and fall.  I of course had to make a card for her, and I was happy to.  I ADORE all the fairies at Mo's Digital Pencil, and Fall Fairy Jesen was perfect for the occasion.  Could he BE any cuter?
 
Jesen is colored with Copics, with a generous helping of stickles added to his wings.  I cut him out using lacy circles Spellbinders die, sponged a little yellow ink around the image.  I wove some Hemptique twine through the lacy part of the circle.  I made it an easel card so it could be displayed at the shower.
 
Papers, brads and ribbon all from stash.  Very excited to be able to play along in the "B" is for... challenge at Mo's Challenge Blog.  (B being for baby boy in this case)
 
Fall has definitely arrived here in New England.  It's getting chilly, windy, gray, and the leaves are changing.  I don't mind the fall, but I could totally do without winter.  Lots to look forward to the rest of the month.  My son's 5th birthday is on Monday, but we're having a little party for him on Sunday.  next weekend are my Dad and Grandfather's birthdays. We'll be going to a weenie roast for my grandfather's 80th!  After that a fun day with a friend at a local farm, and then Halloween!  Phew.
Be sure to check back this weekend for a new Corrosive Challenge too!

Thanks for stopping by.

Corrosive Challenge - Something Wicked

 
Good morning.  Time for another fun challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog!  I know it's not quite October yet, but I'd say it's close enough to begin celebrating one of my favorite holidays...Halloween!  Wahoo!  This month we are lucky enough to welcome back an amazing Sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs.  There are some awesome new Disney Villain and Halloween releases available right now that would be perfect for our challenge:  "Something Wicked This Way Comes".  We want to see a villain or monster on your project.  I decided to work with Betty Bolts and Baxter from Simply Betty Stamps.  OK, so maybe they aren't exactly the scariest creatures on the block, but technically they are monsters.  

 
Betty and Baxter are colored with Copics, and I added glossy accents to their eyes.  I sponged a little purple chalks ink around the image (I have a hard time leaving large white areas!).  Sketch was #116 at Sketchy Colors.
Papers:  Cloud 9 Design - Halloween papers from 12X12 pad, DCWV - Rockstar Mat Stack.
Embellies:  K&C Company - BW Haunted World Grand Adhesions sticker, Ribbon & Brads from stash, Queen + Co - Grass Green pearls.
 
My husband and I REALLY like Halloween, so we are always pretty excited when October rolls around.  We have a whole Halloween Village set up inside the house (the Lemax one at Michaels), and we love to carve pumpkins for the big night.  We usually try to come up with some sort of theme.  This year we've come up with possibly Breaking Bad or Dexter themes displays, but I am definitely open to suggetions if anyone has any, please leave them in the comments :-)
 
Looking forward to some wickedly awesome projects at The Corrosive Challenge Blog.  Come and join the fun!

Yoga Girl

Welcome back folks.  Now that I am finally done making wedding cards for awhile, the next month is FULL of birthdays (6 total!).  The first one in the lineup is my neighbor and friend.  She is a very busy, hardworking mama to 3 littles (as she calls them) - 2 twin boys who are turning 4 soon, and a little girl who is just over a year old.  She is a really awesome lady, and we have tons of fun together.  On top of working and taking care of 3 kids, she tries hard to make time to get in shape, and she loves taking Yoga classes.  I knew Yoga Girl from Saturated Canary would be perfect for her card.  I just love Krista's whimsical and adorable images.  And I am totally jealous of those Abs!
 

She is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped up on foam dots.  One thing I was pretty excited to be able to incorporate is some birch bark that my dad found for me in his yard.  The strip behind her feet, and the curly Q's are the bark.  Sketch was #224 over at Sketch Saturday.  This was a great one, I used it for several cards.


 
Papers:  Cloud 9 Design - Cinnamon Stick 12X12 Pad, cardstock from stash.
Embellies:  WOC flower (free gift with purchase!), with a Prima flower inside it.  EK success border punch, Epoxy brad from stash, Hemptique - Metallic Classic crafters cord.
 
I'm hoping to get together with my friend this weekend but we'll see, we tend to make plans then they just don't work out or we're too tired!  But we still love each other anyways, lol.  Wishing her a very Happy Birthday.  Be sure to check back this weekend too, there is a new Corrosive Challenge starting Sunday!
 
I will be entering challenge #26 at Saturated Canary Challenge - B's.  My B's are Birch Bark, Bow, Butterfly, and Blue.

Kenny K Wedding

Yes, folks, ANOTHER wedding card for this month!  This one I am actually going to, and I am really looking forward to it.  It is a super fun couple, and the bride has been dropping hints about secret surprises that are going to happen.  Can't wait to find out what they are!  I know for sure there will be lots of dancing and probably a few cocktails to be had (I sometimes have a little too much fun at weddings...).  My son is having a sleepover at his Auntie's until about 10:00 on Sunday.  Is it wrong that I am almost as excited about sleeping in as I am for the wedding?  LOL.


 A Closeup:
 
My image is Lil' Angel and Devil available at Kenny K Downloads.  I looked at a TON off different wedding-y stamps, but nothing was really clicking, then I saw this one.  The bride and groom actually look a little like these cuties, and as I mentioned, they are a really fun loving couple so I wanted to go with something non-traditional.  As usual, they are colored with Copics, with a very generous application of stickles on the wings.  I added glossy accents to the eyes.  I think I started off with a sketch bu veered pretty far off course.  It happens.
 
Papers:  Stampin' Up valentine paper from 2010 I think.  Recollections - "Clouds"
Embellies:  Home Inspirations feathers, WOC and Prima flowers, small heart brads, ribbon and gems from stash.
Challenge Entries:
Dream Valley Challenges - CELEBRATIONS

Baby Boy

Happy hump day!  Just a quick card to share today.  Recently a friend and ex-coworker and his wife had a baby boy, so I wanted to send a little something.  My image is called Baby and Bunny available at Mo's Digital Pencil.  I have used it before for a girl's card, but figured it could be used for a boy too.  The funniest part is the baby has a very similar FULL, full head of black hair.  He is super duper cute.  The image is colored with Copics and I added glossy accents to the eyes of the baby and the bunny.  I also colored the stitching on the little star with copics to make it pop a little and match everything.

Sketch is #225 at Sketch Saturday.  I love this blog for sketches!  They pretty much rock.

Papers:  Echo Park Paper, "A Boy's Life" - Suave
Embellies:  Pebbles - Layered Embellishments, Cloud.  KI Memories - Puffies "Stars White".  Ribbon from stash, Queen & Co silver pearls.

And that's all she wrote.  Hope everyone is having a great week.  I am glad the crazy weather from yesterday is gone, I think it was definitely making people a bit bonkers.  My son was a BEAR all day, and then I stayed up far too late making a card, then decided to decorate for Halloween a little around 10:45 pm.  SMH.  Early bedtime tonight!

Animal Companions

Good morning again.  This fortnight brings a fantastic new challenge and sponsor for The Corrosive Challenge Blog.  We are lucky to have be able work with images created by Teri at Delicious Doodles for the month of September.  The theme of our challenge this time around is "Animal Companions", so your creation must include an image that features an animal.  Teri has lots of fabulous images with animals, from ferocious to precious.  Be sure to check out her shop. 
My Aunt had asked me to make a wedding card for my cousin's wedding, so when I saw Lovey-Dovey Silhouette I knew it was just perfect.  I had recently been in Newburyport with my Aunt, and there was a store that sold a lot of beautiful and unique cards, and one of them had a sentiment that we both loved so I "borrowed" it for my card.  The front says:  "And the song from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend."  The inside says "As your song begins...best wishes to you on your wedding day."  I just thought this was such a sweet saying.  Here is a little different view:
This is much simpler than I am used to making, but I do like how it came out.  I simply cut the image out using a Lacy Circles Spellbinder, then sponged a little blue ink on the edges, and popped it up with foam dots.  I just winged the layout for a change, and made sure to incorporate all the different elements I had in mind.

Papers:  G.C.D. Studios - Sophisticated Frost paper stack, purchased at Big Lots
Embellies:  The Paper Company - Filigree Accents, Martha Stewart - Doily Lace Fabric brads.  Hemptique "Metallic Classic" Crafter's Cord.  (Both the brads and hemp twine I found at TJ Maxx for a great price.  I am pretty excited to know they carry some card making supplies now, I love me some shopping, and TJ's is one of my favorite places to shop.)

That's all for now.  I do hope you will play along with us at The Corrosive Challenge Blog for a chance to win a fabulous prize from Delicious Doodles.  Looking forward to seeing lots of interesting creature creations!

Wedding Blessings

September has been a very busy month for cards!  (And it's not even 1/2 way over yet)  My cousin is getting married next weekend and I was commissioned by my grandmother to make a card for her to give to my cousin.  Of course, I was happy to oblige.  It's so funny, some cards haunt me and take forever but some are almost effortless and this was one of them.  I had picked out the flower image that was a freebie from Create with TLC.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it though.  I went home and searched through my paper stash and found this sheet that had the exact same flowers on it!  Because of the way the pattern fell on the paper, I just winged the layout, and found a few more embellies that were in my stash and kept it relatively simple.  The flower I printed is colored with Copics, and I added some Copper Tim Holtz Stickles to the centers.  I cut them and popped them up with 3d dots to give some dimension.  Here is another view:

 
I really am so pleased how this came out (if I do say so myself!).  Haha.
 
Papers:  Prima Marketing - "Reflections" collection
Embellies:  Making Memories - "Vintage Metal Combo" charm, Recollections pearl swirl, Brads from stash, Hemptique crafter's cord - "metallic classic" (I love this stuff), Darice self stick gems (in the middles of some of the flowers)
 
I would like to enter into the following challenges:

Fall Into Fun!

Fall is DEFINITELY in the air lately.  The days are still nice and sunny but it's getting downright c-c-c-cold at night!  It went down into the 40's last night where I live.  Brrrrr.  This fall is my son's first time going to school.  Eeek!  He will be 5 in October so he is just now starting pre-school, but it is at the same school where he will be in kindergarten.  He was a little scared at first, but once he got to his classroom, and the teacher started reading a story, he didn't even remember I was in the room!  I was a bit weepy all day, but I am a proud momma and I know this will be a wonderful experience for him.  He actually has two teachers in the classroom, and I wanted to make a card for each of them for the start of the school year.

 
My first card features a digi stamp from Simply Betty Stamps called Oscar Pile of Leaves, he is part of her line of Jude and the Rockers.  This guy really reminded me of my son, I could totally see him taking a flying leap like this!  Oscar is colored with Copics with glossy accents added to his eyes, the leaves are cut out and popped up, and the background is sponged with Cloudy Blue and Spanish Olive inks.  The sketch is the September sketch over at I Heart 2 Stamp:

Papers:  My Mind's Eye 6X6 stack "All Spice", Cloud 9 Design - "Harvest" Luster Papers
Embellies:  Jolee's Boutique dimensional stickers, "Felt Acorns"
  
 
My 2nd card is another Simply Betty Stamps called Brittany Bundled Up.  Isn't she just the cutest?  She is also colored with Copics with glossy accents added to her eyes, and fussy cut and popped up.  Sketch # 224 at Sketch Saturday
Papers:  Cloud 9 Design - "Harvest" Luster Papers
Embellies:  Recollections floral embellishments, Brads and ribbon from stash, Memory Box "Fauntleroy Crest" die.
 
Now I just have to figure out which teacher to give each card to!  I'm sure I will agonize over the decision, because that's what I do!  LOL.
 
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.  While I DREAD the winter, I do enjoy the fall, and we especially look forward to Halloween, our favorite holiday!  Happy Fall Ya'll!

Corrosive Challenge # 157 - Myth and Magic


Goooood Morning again.  I hope you're hungry...but not for food!  A new month always means a new sponsor at The Corrosive Challenge Blog, and this one is tasty!  Our fantastic new sponsor is Delicious Doodles .  All the images are hand or mouse drawn by the artist and owner, Teri.  Some are cutsie animals, some are sketched flowers, there are a few men's images, fairies and also some 'darker' images featuring vampires, skulls and Gothic stuff, something for everyone!

Our challenge for you is to create a mythical or magical themed project. Many of Teri's awesome images are perfect for this task! Fairies, dragons, witches and wizards, we want to see it all! The winner will receive FOUR digi's of their choice from the Delicious Doodles Shop!

My 7th anniversary is Sept 3rd!  We have been together closer to 11 years, and were married in 2005.  We are pretty busy with work, kids and school, and probably don't get as much romantical time in as we should, but we do try, and always have fun even if it's just movie night on the couch.  Recently my hubby went back to school, so a lot of nights he is busy on the computer doing homework while I'm at my crafting table in the same room.  Many times I bother him for an opinion when I start second guessing myself, and he's always happy to help, bless his heart!  At least we are still spending time together even though we're doing separate things.  He is a wonderful husband, and father and I really couldn't imagine my life without him.
I knew I wanted something special and a little sexy for his anniversary card, and went with Fire Woman, she is one red hot mamasita. 

She is colored with Copics, with generous amounts of stickles added to the flames and dress, and glossy accents added to her eyes.  The sentiment was computer generated, I wanted to let him know he still "lights my fire" even though life gets in the way of umm..."grownup only" time sometimes.  I hope he likes the end result, I usually tend to go with cute and sexy cards for him, and this one is a little darker.  
 
Side view:
 


Papers:  DCWV "Tahiti" Beach Stack
Embellies:  Brads and Ribbon from stash, Jolee's Boutique "Witch Buttons" dimensional stickers

Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone is having a fabulous long weekend, hooray for those!

Cute As a Button


Good morning all!  Time for another fun Corrosive Challenge, and don't worry, no actual sewing required.  Our wonderful sponsor for the month is Saturated Canary these images are SO stinkin' adorable, one could say they are "cute as a button", so we want to see some buttons on your project.  I needed a birthday card for a younger girl, so decided to use this freebie that Krista had offered on her blog http://saturatedcanary.blogspot.com/.  She is such an amazing artist, and has some awesome stuff on her blog, be sure to check it out.  I love her stamps, and her funky style. 
I colored the digi with Copics, and added a few touches of white Gelly Roll pen and glitter pen.  You can't really tell in the picture, but the image and the paper she is mounted on are popped up with foam squares, gotta add that dimension in there.
Sketch was #56 from My Time Made Easy :
Papers:  My Mind's Eye - Lime Twist Collection, Happy Go Lucky "Cute" Buttons (perfect, right!), Bazzill Basics - Two Scoops "Mint Chip", the notbook looking paper was part of a mini kit that was on sale at Michaels for 99 cents!  And cardstock from stash.
Embellies:  Recollections Floral Embellishment (the daisy), and roses.  Genevieve Gail Felt Sticker, Boho Collection "Flower".  Buttons from stash.  Recollections Rhinestone stickers pearl swirl.

Be sure to stop by The Corrosive Challenge Blog to see what the design team has come up with.  Hope you are inspired to play along, I know Krista's Saturated Canary images are hugely popular, so you should enter for your chance to snag a few more!  Looking forward to some super cute projects.

Thanks for taking a peek.
