It's great to see you and I hope you're doing well! Thank you for playing in the September NBUS Challenge with all your new goodies! From all the incredible entries, I have randomly chosen #82 Nancy Leppek to be showcased!
Congratulations, Nanc', 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!
To thank you for sharing your NBUS all these years (and/or to schpark your fire if you're in a bit of slump), I am randomly inviting participants to join me as guest designers! This month I'm delighted to welcome Susan Morris:
Cardmaking was only discovered when I retired (I had to fill all that spare time somehow!) and then it became a major interest, resulting in a few Design Team posts. During lockdown, I tried my hand at watercolours, something I had always wanted to do. I had always been told I was useless at it, but to my surprise, I discovered that I wasn’t as useless as I had thought! I followed up by doing some courses on Zoom and some pastel workshops, as well. The problem I have now is finding enough hours in the day to do all that I want to do!
Here is Sue's card to inspire you:
Thank you for being our Guest Designer this month, Sue!
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 and please especially note that there is a limit to the number of other challenges you may enter. You can also click here for answers to any other questions you might have.
You may use this badge for your blog post if you like, but it is not mandatory.
I can't wait to see what you share with us!
The challenge closes October 31, 2022, at 10:00 p.m. PST.
Have fun!
Another month of NBUS fun begins, and it is lovely to see Susan as the GD this month and such sweet and pretty turtle doves, and a lovely fun Halloween card from Nancy as the pick for September. I look forward to delving into that bulging box of unused items again this month. x
