I coined the acronym NBUS in 2013 and ran several challenges until 2017. The term caught on and is still being used in Blogland, so I thought this would be a good time to resurrect my NBUS challenge. I set up this dedicated NBUS website for crafty artists to share their works of art containing any brand-new virginal Never-Before-Used-Schtuff! We bought it ~ now let's use it to share and inspire others!

NBUS Challenge ~ 17

Welcome!!

It's great to see you and I hope you're doing well! Thank you for another month of rousing participation in the NBUS Challenge! We had an outstanding 151 entries in the gallery! This is a wonderful place to find inspiration and design ideas as we all share with each other how well we are doing using our never-before-used-schtuff!

From all those incredible entries, I have randomly chosen #120 Bonnie Lynn to be our Showcase for July's NBUS Challenge #16!
Congratulations Bonnie Lynn and thank you for sharing your wonderful creations using NBUS!

~~~

The basic idea of this challenge is evident in the name. Whether it's something you just purchased or something collecting dust in the back of a drawer, who isn't proud when they use something never-before-used in their creation? Here is where you link up your NBUS work of art!

There are no limitations on what you can create, but there are a few RULES which you can find on the tab above. If this is your first visit, please take a minute to read them. You can also click here for answers to any questions you might have. 
The challenge is open from August 1, 2020, at 12:05 a.m. PST to August 31, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. PST. I can't wait to see what you share with us! As you can imagine, I have a huge mountain of NBUS, so I will also proudly share whenever I excavate something!

Thank you! Have fun!

Regarding to the 151 entries from the NBUS #16 it is the truth that we all have a lot of NBUS supplies in our drawers. :-) Congratulation to Bonnie Lynn. Great card to showcase it!
