Lets Dance

I created this as an invitation for a formal dance.
Challenge: Corrosive Challenge Blog...Lace and Pearls

Understated Bling

I am not a bling person but I wanted to do the challenge for The Corrosive Challenge Blog which is Bling it On! So I decided to understate it just a bit...bring it on!

Like a Moth to a Flame

I used mostly gradient fills to help color in this image to get the effect that I wanted. When using gradient fills I find that each element of the image has to be colored in on it's own layer to get a separate effect. Like for the leaves for instance...each leaf had to be colored in on a separate layer or the gradient fill would be spread across all three of the leaves.

The challenges involved in this entry are:

Allsorts...Use a candle
Card Patterns...Sketch
The Corrosive Challenge blog...Red and White

Season Greetings

Now that the first part of the holiday season has come and gone...

Here is my entry for the Corrosive Challenge Blog...the challenge is movement.


When you open the card you get hit with a snowball.

A Good Book

The Corrosive Challenge Blog has a simple sketch for us this week.

The background digi paper I used on this card is an image of a book shelf filled with books and the digi stamp I aquired from dulemba.com, she has some wonderful images there just waiting to be colored in. Everything else on the card was create by me with the help of the PSP software.

Wishing You a Tweet Day

Now that things seem to be getting back to normal around here...

I created this easel card and matching envelope for Corrosive challenge (use black and blue) using this weeks sketch from Card Patterns and the digi stamp from Deedee Digis.

Trick or Treat

The Corrosive Challenge Blog has a theme challenge this week and I bet you cannot tell what it is. ;D I used images from pcCrafter.com to create this card. If you have not been to pcCrafter.com, check it out they have some really cool clip art there that can be printed and then cut out or used like I do digitally.

Making this card digitally really came in handy. I had the frame and four different stamps that I wanted to put in the frame with the part that should hang out shows. I duplicated the frame 3 times, each on it's own layer...and I duplicated each stamp twice, each on it's own layer. To get the image that I wanted for each stamp I had to place one stamp layer below the frame layer and the other just above it...easing from the top stamp what I did not want to show so the extended portion of the stamp was now above the frame...look at the now framed stamps you will see what I mean.

Not Everyone is Perfect

The Corrosive Challenge blog has a sketch for us this week. For this project I used an image by artist Laurie Furnell from my pcCrafter collection. The digi paper is also from the same collection.

Merry Christmas

This was a masking challenge for The Corrosive Challenge Blog. You were to create somewhat of a scene using the masking technique. For me this was not a hard thing to do using PSP...in the PSP program it is the same as layering. My card has 4 layers to it...the background paper, the snow, the bear pulling the bag, and the text. When I got everthing as I wanted it I merged the layers together to create my finished card. The snow layer I did twice because I wanted it in front and behind the bear so I sandwiched the bear between the two layers and eased what I did not want overlapping the bear from the top layer.

The Layers

The Older You Get

This challenge was a little tough only because I had to find something in my stash that I had not used which was the challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog. I have tons of digi papers and embellishments that I started downloading from the internet over a year ago. Going through it all to find something that I had not used yet was surely a task at hand. Anyway I don't think I used the papers in this collection from Seachell, Back to Nature. The frame was made from digi paper from the collection using PSP, as well as the buttons. The owl was a freebie digi stamp not sure from where.

Dream BIG

This is a sketch challenge for Corrosive Challenge. The digi image I used in this challenge was from another coloring book page.

The Sketch

An Apple a Day

The challenge this week at the Corrosive Challenge blog is a color challenge with old olive green and real red as the colors. It is apple picking season here in Hendersonville!

Lets go to the Movies

The challenge for Corrosive this week is a theme called Lets go to the movies. This time of the year my favorite movie is Meet Me in St. Louis. I did a sort of invitation for my take on the challenge. Over at

The Corrosive Challenge

This card is for the Corrosive Challenge. The challenge is to apply embossing somewhere on the card. I decided to emboss the background...I don't know if you can see it, but it has been applied.

Dual Challenge

I know this is a little late for me...rough few days.

This card is for two challenges...2RedBananas and The Corrosive Challenge blog. For 2RedBananas the challenge is a recipe...3 eyelets, 2 pieces of ribbon and an oval or ovals, and the challenge for The Corrosive Challenge Blog is a sketch which you will find here.

Non - card

This is my first non-card entry and I decided to make an autumn candle. I actually have combine two challenges with this entry. 2RedBananas which is a color challenge this week, red, brown, yellow, and orange, use any three. And for The Corrosive Challenge Blog which is No cards.

Corrosive Challenge - Shaped Like

Here is another anything but square or rectangle challenge. I guess people are getting tried of see the typical card shape...LOL I like using my snowflake brushes so this gave me another opportunity to do so. This one even has the sparkle built in. The challenge has been met, my card is done.

Corrosive Challenge - Spooky Times

This is my first entry for this group. I have done so many Halloween cards my thoughts have become very limited. Anyway here is my entry.
