Add a Dimension

This week's corrosive challenge was to add a dimension to a card. I made this ruffle "Hope" card. All the ruffles are lifted by spots of tape and the butterfly is lifted by a pop dot. I know that this card is for Breast Cancer awarness but I think it should celebrate "hope" for all cancers. I never did get all the different colours, I have overcome brain cancer which is a gray ribbon(not the best colour in my opinion) So lets lift up" hope" not just this month but every month of the year.

Love Bites






This week's challenge over at the corrosive challenge is Love Bites.I took it in a different direction. I used this great image from TiddleyInks, our sponser for this month, and immediately thought of computer bytes. I printed out a bunch of 1's and 0's to represent code and added the saying sending you a bunch of love bytes. Geeky, I know but it made me chuckle and I will give it to my husband for Valentines.

I {Heart} you

This week's theme at the corrosive challenge is I {heart } you. We want you to use at least one heart in your card in preparation for valentine's day. I used this month sponser image"milkshake". I paper pieced together the pink background and coloured the rest with my Stampin up markers. The hearts down the side are stickers that I found for 90 off at Michaels and the saying is a Stampin up saying.

Ring in the New Year

It's a new year! All of us at the Corrosive Challenge would like to welcome our new team members! I hope everyone had a great Christmas, mine wasn;t the best as I was sick with what I thought was the flu but it seems to be something with my gallbladder, I am still waiting for test results. Anyways, this weeks challenge is to ring in thenew Year with something new. Well, I received the Pretties Kit by Stampin up for Christmas and this was my first chance to play with it. I choose to make a clean and simple Valentine card and topped it off with ta beaded stick pin and some halfback pearls from the kit. I also received my first movers and shakers die by Tim Holtz and that is next on my list to play. My New Year's goal is to use what I have instead of just buying and storing and to donate what I never will use(this may be hard, as I have a tendacy to hoard).

Anything but Christmas!

Well, this weeks corrosive challenge was anything but Christmas. I used this month's sponser and made a cocoa card. The weather is getting colder and hot chocolate is always warming all around. I can't believe it is almost Christmas! My son is turning 20 on Tuesday, so in amongst Christmas shopping I have to birthday shop as well. It's funny, all the Christmas stamps I own and I still haven't started my Christmas cards. I guess I better get into gear. I hope everyone takes some time forthemselves and enjoy the Christmas Season.
