It's great to see you and I hope you're doing well! Thank you for playing in the July NBUS Challenge with all your beautiful goodies! From all the incredible entries, I have randomly chosen #22 Donna Walls to be showcased!
What a fun card for summer! Congratulations, Donna, 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 have just purchased or something collecting dust in the back of a drawer, you are tickled when you use something never-before-used in your creation and here is where you share those NBUS works of art! There are instructions for how to link on a tab above. As you can imagine, I have a huge mountain of NBUS, so I will also proudly share whenever I excavate and use something.
Guest Designer!
I was delighted to be invited by Darnell to be the Guest Designer for the August NBUS Challenge. I have enjoyed a variety of crafts over the years and have been cardmaking for about 20 years. I especially love trying new techniques and fancy folds. I set up my blog in 2012 to keep a record of the cards I make, not realising that there was an online crafty community out there. I have made so many new blogging friends, some of which I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person. I even had the chance to visit Darnell’s Playhouse in her garden! I am constantly inspired by other bloggers and their wonderful creations. Like most cardmakers, I have plenty of NBUS stash, but the die I’ve used on my card is one I bought very recently and was determined to actually use it before I packed it away! I’m looking forward to seeing all your wonderful NBUS cards again this month.
Here are two views of Liz's beautiful card to inspire you:

ReplyDeleteHi Darnell,
ReplyDeletecongrats to Liz on her Guest Desin I have already commented on her blog.
So sorry I have posted this card but although this is Nbus it is new so you may delete this card if you like as reading your instructions too late after posting.
Congrats to Donna on her wonderful card also.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Glad to have finally had the chance to use a little of my volcano of NBUS and joined you even if it is nearly the end of the month!! Loving Donna's fun card and Liz's clever sewing-themed fold! Vicky x
