NBUS Challenge #79

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 last month's NBUS Challenge with all your beautiful goodies! I really appreciate your enthusiasm and how you support and encourage me and each other! 

From all the incredible entries last month, I am showcasing Stef Perry:
What a perfectly beautiful bouquet celebrating the gorgeous colors of fall! Thank you so much, Stef, 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 never-before-used schtuff 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, like what is the maximum number of other challenges allowed. If this is your first visit, please take a minute to click on the above link. 

You may use this badge for your blog post if you like, but it is not mandatory.

On a personal note for those of you not following my card blog (djkardkreations), I want to apologize for not visiting your sites last month and possibly not this month. My husband was in a serious motorcycle accident on September 7th and I am his care-giver. We are so blessed and thankful that he will be fine, but his recovery will take some time. Thank you for understanding!

I am keeping NBUS open so we don't lose momentum and forget to use our schtuff! And I'm enjoying the gallery while waiting in doctors' offices! Mwah!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
