I opened this dedicated NBUS Challenge blog in 2020 and you came in droves with more than 100 entries every month to both share your creations and enable each other to buy more! In fact, according to InLinkz, in only 87 challenges, you have entered over 14,000 designs, proving that we are a circle of mutual appreciation:
We couldn't create without the companies who make our supplies and those companies wouldn't stay in business without our purchases!
I'm delighted that the following companies (and one from me) want to sponsor this month's challenge from July 1 - July 28, 2026, in order to thank you for being such good customers and for the excellent marketing you are doing for them each time you link your creations here!
This NBUS Mutual Appreciation Celebration
