Corrosive Challenges #198 - Head Gear
Welcome to another fabulous challenge from Corrosive Challenges. We are sponsored by Dilly Beans and the challenge is Head Gear. All you need to do is make a project with an image that has something on its head...hat, bow barrette, etc. The prize is 3 digis from Dilly Beans.
I colored this sweet little Dilly Beans Mermaid with Copics, cut her out and popped her up with SU dimensionals. I used my Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen along with some other WOS glitter pens on various parts of the mermaid. I also used a lot of Glossy Accents on her. The paper is from Graphic 45 and I used a cool bubble embossing folder behind the mermaid. I heat embossed the sentiment.
Please head over to the Corrosive Challenges blog and check out what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration. Thanks for stopping by.

Card from Candy
Isn't it adorable? But that's not all I got. Candy just opened her own craft supplies store. You can find it here. She also has a blog here which has a link to her store on the side. She is just getting going and I hope she grows quickly. Look what I got from her store:
I can't wait to start using these wood sheets. They are so cool. If anyone has an idea for me, please leave a comment and I will give it a try. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

KennyK's Challenge #170 - Stars
Hello everyone. We are seeing Stars over at KennyK's Krafy Krew. Our new challenge is Anything Goes with a Twist...Stars. If you incorporate the twist, you win more digis!!! Woot woot!!! I am using Sweet Melissa from KennyK for my project. She reminds me of my niece. (If any of my nieces are reading this, please leave a comment guessing which one of you this is.)
I used a variety of star dies to make this. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to write it all down so I could add it to my post. I also used star gems from Darice. The paper is from Bo Bunny & Basic Grey. I colored with Copics. The ribbon was part of a cheap pack from the dollar store. I used Glossy accents and my Wink of Stella glitter pen (my new love).
We hope that you will join us for this challenge. First, head over to KennyK's Krafty Krew and check out what the rest of the design team has created for you. All the details are posted there for you. Happy creating.

Corrosive Challenge #197 - Pretty Pastels
Hello everyone. It is time for another Corrosive Challenges challenge...Pretty Pastels. This sucker was really difficult for me. I am not a pastel fan. I love deep, rich color. My little sweet baby Sydney headed up to the studio to give me support while I tried to struggle through this one. Happily, I survived and am pretty pleased with the result.
Our sponsor this time around is:
I colored with Copics and used Stampin Up paper, McGill punch, Sizzix oval die, Anna Griffin embossing folder & gems. I am pooped so this is going to be a short post. Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and check out what the rest of the design team created for your inspiration.

Corrosive Challenge #196 - Show Us Your Metal
Hello everyone. It is time for a new Corrosive Challenges challenge. This time we want you to Show Us Your Metal! Our sponsor is:
I love love love Delicious Doodles. They have something for everyone. I prefer the ones with a bit of a darker side to them. I am using Gothicka. I colored her with Copics and cut her out. If you look closely, I layered up several different parts of the image with SU dimensionals. I also used several different types of glitter pens on the image. This sucker took forever to color but I enjoyed every minute of it. I just wish my photography skills were better. There is so much shimmer and shine to this card but it didn't come through on the photo. I wish I lived closer to Kathy so she could take pictures for me. She knows I love her pics.
Now please head over to Corrosive Challenges and see what my fabulous teammates created for your inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Challenge #194 for Corrosive Challenges
Hi everyone. I am back with another challenge for Corrosive Challenges. Our current challenge is Animals. All you need to do to participate is to create a project featuring and animal.
Sponsor: Meljen's Designs
Prize: 4 (non-colored) Digis
I know this project isn't really me. I think my mojo is on vacation. I am trying desperately to get it back as it has been missing for weeks. My sister is just kicking my but lately in the craft department and I just can't have that continue. (A little sibling rivalry is good right?) She is the oldest so I have to win at something. Did I mention I am also the middle child? Am I gaining any sympathy from you guys?
Ok, enough whining from me. Please head over to the Corrosive Challenges blog and check out what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

Corrosive Challenges #193 - In Stitches
Challenge: In Stitches (project must contain either faux or actual stitching)
Sponsor: A&T Designs (home of The Emerald Faeries)
Prize: 3 Digis
Welcome back everyone. It is time for another Corrosive Challenges challenge. I must admit that I felt a little off my game with this one. I am not sure why but it just doesn't feel like my best work. I have decided to send it to my darling little great niece Bailey because she loves whatever I do. She is 5 years old and loves to get cards in the mail so this one is coming to you my little Bailey Bug!!! I miss you and I love you.
The sentiment was heat embossed and unfortunately, you can't really see what it says. It says "once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes everything", sweet huh? Please head over to the Corrosive Challenges blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for your inspiration. They all did such awesome work.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge #166 Distressing
Hello everyone. I am back with another super challenge from KennyK's Krafty Krew. As always our challenge is Anything Goes with a Twist. The twist for this challenge is distressing. The great thing about distressing is that you can make mistakes and they look intentional. Our sponsor is KennyK Downloads, of course. And as always, the prize is bigger if you add the twist.
I am debuting part of the New Glam Gang Release. This is Fabby Farah. She sure looks like she is having fun. I was a bit nervous while creating this because I had to get it done early as I had surgery this week. I haven't had surgery since I was 7. I am happy to report that my gallbladder came out with no trouble. I am a bit sore but glad it is all over.
For this card I used double-sided designer paper, cut the center and folded the edges back. I distressed the edges of all the paper with my scissors and some distress inks. I just rolled the corners up a bit with my fingers. Now it's your turn. But first, please head over to KennyK's Krafty Krew and see what the rest of the design team has created for your inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Corrosive Challenge #192 - Feel the Love
Hello everyone. It's time for another challenge at Corrosive Challenges. This challenge is all about feeling the love. Our sponsor is:
SSD is giving 4 digis away to the prize winner. Awesome right?! SSD gave me this image called Disney Fan to work with. It's such an adorable image that I had to make it for a new love in my life and here she is.
This is darling little Layla Faye Franklin. Layla is my great niece and she is just the cutest thing ever. Her mother is a huge Disney fan. I just want to squeeze her she is so sweet. And while we are talking about nieces, I want to thank my niece Bianca for cleaning out the bird rooms today. I really appreciate it Bianca.
Now back to business. I had some issues working on this card. I am not sure why but I usually have trouble when I am creating for a reason. It seems to flow better for me when I have no plan. I am a bit scatter-brained. I knew one thing I wanted to do for sure and that was use a fabulous embossing folder on the background. My friend Regan used it on one of her projects and I just had to have it. I found it on sale at Amazon and used my credit card points so it was free. Score!
Please head over to the Corrosive Challenges blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for your inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a good one.
