Challenge #148 - The Man, the Myth, the Legend - Tim Holtz

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenge!  I have to admit that I barely had this post ready in time!  I spent my evening rocking out at a concert and since we all know what a skilled procrastinator I am, I had to not only finish my card when I returned home at midnight, but compose two posts too!  But I did it and here we are...

There are five Sundays in April this year so even though it's not officially the start of a new month yet, we do have a new sponsor to tell you about!  That also means we have a winner selected from our last two challenge!  

  Congratulations to Laila aka Koneko; she is our April winner! 
Check out her blog, Castle in the Skies
 Laila wins her choice of 3 images from our fabulous April sponsor, Dilly Beans Stamps! Laila also has the opportunity to be our guest designer for the month of June!  Laila, please contact me so we can discuss all the details.

 Our new sponsor for the next three challenges is Tickled Pink Stamps!

Tickled Pink Stamps is an Australian based online company that is always so excited to be supplying you with everything cute, quirky and PINK... They have their very own Digital Stamp ranges – the Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, along with the cute Lil Pinkette range. Tickled Pink Stamps is excited to be sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge for the month of May!
TPS has generously offered 2 digi stamps of choice to our May winner!



Now on to our challenge for this fortnight: The Man, the Myth, the Legend - Tim Holtz!  I don't know about you but I love that man's products, and for this challenge we want to see you put any Tim Holtz items that may be in your crafty stash to good use!  It can be anything that bears the man's name: stamps, dies, embossing folders, distress ink, distress Stickles, accessories, etc.  Please just tell us what you have used from Mr. Holtz in your blog post.

Want to see what the design team has created for you?  Can you pick out the TH items?  Well, here they are:

Challenge #147 - Hit the Bottle

Hello and welcome to another Corrosive Challenge! We have a fun one lined up for you today! Thank you to everyone who played along in our "Heavy Metal" challenge! We loved seeing all your metal laden creations!

This fortnight we have another fun theme for your crafting enjoyment... We want you to "Hit the Bottle"! Now while I know some of us may partake of an adult beverage or two while card making, especially in the company of our crafty girlfriends, that is not what we mean so put the Cosmos down, ladies, and step away from the vodka! For this challenge, we want you to use something that comes from a bottle on your project. Think Stickles, glaze, crackle, liquid pearls, re-inkers, paint, even bleach (as our very own DT member Kellie will demonstrate below)!

Though we have a new challenge, we are sponsored again by our fabulous April sponsor, Dilly Beans Digi Stamps! We hope you'll play along for a chance to be our monthly winner! A prize of 3 images of your choice AND a shot at guest designer for June could be yours!


Now let's see what creativity has poured forth from our design team:

Challenge #146 - Heavy Metal

Happy Sunday (or perhaps Monday for some of you)! Times just seems to fly by (I'm sure having my nose buried in a paperback copy of The Hunger Games all week had something to do with it! lol), and it's already time for another Corrosive Challenge! We'd love to thank everyone who joined in for our Things Are Looking Grimm challenge! It's April 1st and so along with a new challenge we have a new sponsor and a monthly winner to announce!

Congratulations to Mari Harpham of Trails of Paper; she is our March winner! Mari wins her choice of 4 images from our fabulous March sponsor, Sassy Studio Designs! But wait! There's more! Mari also has the opportunity to be our guest designer for the month of May! Mari, please contact me so we can discuss all the details.

We are thrilled to welcome Dilly Beans Stamps as our sponsor for April!

Megan Suarez is the artist and owner behind these fun and quirky images. She has generously offered 3 images of choice for our winner this month as well as generously provided each of the DT ladies with an image to work with. She has an amazing variety of images so head over to her shop to check them out!


Our challenge for this for fortnight is "Heavy Metal"! Now while I do enjoy a good Metallica song every now and again, no headbanging is required here. All you need to do to play along is add something metal to your project.

Shall we see how the design team handled being metalheads? Let's take a look:
