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 #56

Welcome!!
This is a wonderful place to find design ideas
as we all share with each other how well we are doing
using our Never-Before-Used-Schtuff (NBUS)!

It's great to see you and I hope you're doing well! Thank you for playing in the October challenge with all your beautiful goodies ~ 150 entries! Since we cram three holidays into the space of two months, I've chosen three Showcases this month to represent Halloween (yesterday), Autumn (Thanksgiving), and Christmas.

Congratulations to Bonnie, Helen, and Linda 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 proud when you use something never-before-used in your creation! This is the place for you to share those NBUS works of art! I will also proudly share whenever I excavate and use something!

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. 

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 November 30, 2023, at 10:00 p.m. PST.

Have fun!
Thank you!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Such inspiring cards from Bonnie, Helen and Linda! A great big thanks to you too Darnell, encouraging us to use our NBUS even while straddling your holiday tables! Vicky x

One thing I've learned about NBUS is that you have to be careful while viewing other people's NBUS. Because all of the sudden you find yourself purchasing that item and now it's your NBUS. Hmmmm.......It's a vicious circle but someone has to keep it going round.Right? [Bunny]
