My main challenge goal is to complete my VSN MINI #2, but with some help from two other challenges, I came up with my layout and completion of some catch-up challenges as well! In all, my card fits eight challenges:
#1. CCC18DEC - Christmas Card Challenge, "December--Anything Goes" - ongoing. No trees in any of this year's monthly themes...so to December it must go!
#2. F4A455 - Free For All Challenge, "Sweater Weather!" - 11/9/18. My card shows texture/ thickness with textured lace and yarn, plus it's popped up for dimension and thickness. It is also a Christmas card, which says it is "sweater weather" for sure!
#3. FS613 - Featured Stamper, "Scrappin' is Where It Happens" in LeAnn Skinner's N2SCRAPPIN gallery - 11/4/18. I chose this card: CFABBYJAN For Abby as a layout inspiration. I modified most parts of her card, but used her layout as a general guide.
#4. DEC18VSNMINI2 - VSN MINI #2 Challenge, "Little Women"...show their vintage holidays. Mine is vintage Christmas, circa 1860s.
#5. MMTPT536 - Teapot Tuesday Challenge, "Lacy Loveliness" - 10/30/18...add lace to your card. I missed the Teapotter exchange, so I'm just playing to complete the challenge.
#6. DDSKETCH1018 - Dirty Dozen October Monthly Theme, Sketch Challenge - 10/15/18. Used the sketch basic layout and added oddles to it.
#7. WT692 - Way to Use It Challenge, "A World of Sponges" - 6/14/18. I sponged ink distressing on my card edges in keeping with the vintage theme of my card. I also sponged my patterned paper surfaces and the lace to given them a more aged look.
#8. SCSCCJUN18 - SCS Christmas Challenge, "Letter T for Tree" - 6/1/18.

Pretty card, Carlene, with the musical background, die cut, and the decorative tree. Lovely lace...so many pretties to see on your card. I am going to start calling you Queen of challenges. Good work.

Chuckling...thank you for your kind words!
I missed so many challenges this year with my knee replacement and hand issues, it's actually not too difficult to find challenges that will work with one card. With this one all I had to do was scan my list of challenges before beginning to see what would fit with vintage and Christmas, which started with the VSN #2 challenge requirements.

This is stunning! Love the lace, the details in that center oval die cut, the pearls. Everything is lovely. I'm so glad you played along with my VSN mini challenge, and a whole lot of other challenges too!!
