I have a shed I work in - it's 10x16 and I must say I have been blessed with what I have been able to accumulate scrapbooking wise. There's at LOT of STUFF in there! I do the challenges and combine them because it limits me. And for me, I am more creative that way. I have paper upon paper - but if I know I can only use blue or pink or yellow - depending on the challenge - it actually makes it easier for me to accomplish the task because I have less choices. Now I am sure it's not this way for everybody, but I figured I would explain why I do it. But above all - I ENJOY IT!!
Enough blabber - I know - just tell me to shut up....here's the cards!
Love Card:- 365 Cards asked for an anniversary card today. (Happy Anniversary Pam!) There was a catch - the predominant color had to be white! Well, with a little help from my embossing folder, I think this one just came out cute and lovely.
- The Pink Elephant had a recipe challenge - three buttons, two layers, one sentiment. I am not 100% sure LOVE counts as a sentiment, but I am thinking it is quite a strong one.
- A new one - All Sorts - color challenge of pink & white! Love love love it!! (so the card says! LOL)
Butterfly card:
- The sketch is from Paper Blooms this week - it was a really cute sketch - I just had to try it!
- 365 Cards asked for Fabric (Thursday I think). This one took me a while - I don't think I have ANY fabric in the house. Then I found this little applique butterfly on denim - I was thinking it was PERFECT!
- That little butterfly makes it perfect for Danni's Flutterby Wednesday challenge!
- Cute Card Thursday asked for punches or die cuts (now that's a challenge made for ME!!) This card happens to use the QuicKutz 4x4 Flourishes dies - one of my favorites. They will probably see more card from me this week with that challenge!!
And that's might be all you see from me today. I need to work on the PILE IT ON challenge for tomorrow - OUR FIRST CHALLENGE - be sure to head over there and check out the start of the blog - there's BLOG CANDY to be had!!!

Such pretty cards. I love the layers of the second one & you can't go wrong with cuttlebug embossing so the first rocks too TFS
Love these!! So very nice! Thanks for playing along with my challenge!
well, these are just fabulous, Vicki! Love how you used the embossing folder on the white cardstock - that completely jazzes it up and definitely keeps it from anything but "plain, old white" - perfect job!
Both cards are just beautiful, I can see why you started the Pit It On Challenge blog.... I can't wait for the first challenge.
Hugs

both great cards love the embossing so simple yet so elegant thanks for joining us at allsorts this week hugs kirsten...x
Oh so "LOVE"-ly!!!! Sweet Card Vickilyn...Thanks for joining us!!
Great cards Vickilyn. Looking forward to playing at Pile it On.
I have to agree with you about your comments. I have a very small craft room which has got way too much stuff in it according to hubby. I find that the sketches in particular help me with layout so I can concentrate on materials and the challenges help me focus at making a specific card rather than just sitting in front of my stuff waiting for something to inspire me.
Thanks to you I have even more challenges to go to now :)
Great entry for this weeks Allsorts challenge love the simple elegance of this card,
thanks for playing at Allsorts this week
