For those of you who have joined recently, NBUS stands for "never-before-used schtuff." I found I was purchasing product at a faster rate than I was using it, so every time I used something new, I called it NBUS and I told you about it. That, and the fact that you also embraced using the acronym, encouraged us all to shop our stashes and use our schtuff!
Rather than traditional blog candy, I wanted a way to thank you all for joining as followers and being so supportive with your encouraging comments, so I started a challenge and began to give you prizes for using your NBUS!
Rather than traditional blog candy, I wanted a way to thank you all for joining as followers and being so supportive with your encouraging comments, so I started a challenge and began to give you prizes for using your NBUS!
What?!
Yup. It's my little way to help you turn your NBUS into ABUS (already-used-schtuff!)! And it's also my way to thank you!
Look, I even made you a thank you card! I'm entering it in the current Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge, the Just Us Girls challenge, the CASology challenge, and the TIME OUT Challenge. Of course, it's made with a NBUS stamp. The manufacturer is Crafty Individuals (CI-385). The embossed die is "Stitched Rectangles" from Lil' Inker Designs.

Let's get started!
◊ Reqire Mints
- Use your virginal NBUS on a new creation and tell us what it is. Yes, it can be brand-spanking-new schtuff or as old-as-the-hills schtuff.
- The theme is "Anything Goes." You can just play here or if you play in other Blogland challenges using your NBUS, you can also link here!
- Cut and paste the NBUS button above into your post. Include a link back to the challenge post.
- Please enter only four other challenges, in addition to this one, for a total of five.
- You may enter up to three times. I was going to limit it to one, but that sorta counters my urging you to use up that NBUS, huh? I may only comment on one, if I run out of time.
- Link up your creation using the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post in the usual way.
- HAVE FUN!!
◊ Con Tact/ Tabs
If you need instructions on how to do any of the above or have any other questions, please email me at darnell dot knauss at gmail dot com.
There are also tabs at the top of my home page for quick access to both the "Rules" and former "NBUS Challenges" galleries.
If you haven't played before, please do check the Rules tab for further info on commenting and about how to link if you don't have a blog.
If you haven't played before, please do check the Rules tab for further info on commenting and about how to link if you don't have a blog.
◊ Prizes
Five (5) $25 gift cards from any US company of the winner's choice will be awarded.
Because you are all my friends, I could never select one of you over another as a winner, so I will use Dr. Random and Mrs. Dot Org, Mr. Hammy Hamster, Mr. Mister, or Mr. Random Stranger off the street to pick the winners.
◊ Dates
Please note, this challenge will only run for ten (10) days. It will close at the end of the day (nearly midnight at 11:55 [23:55]) PST, March 31, 2015.
I will announce the winners on Thursday, April 2, 2015.

Hi Darnell,
I can't believe I'm first to join this fab challenge.
Love your super card, it has a wonderful stamped image, and super clean design.
Just perfect as usual.
Thank you for this really great challenge, and congrats on having such a lot of followers.
Well deserved may I add.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
HUGE CONGRATS on reaching another fabulous milestone Darnell :) :) :)
It is growing fast here with the followers! Congrats on your next blog-follower milestone!! Think it is a marathon for you to visit and look at all of them... Great that you do another NBUS challenge; the conventions time is here so my stash is growing :) And thanks so much for naming TIME OUT challenge blog and entering this real spring card! Have fun with all the entries, but most of all; Have fun! Hugs, Gerrina
hey dear Darnell, thanks for starting again this challenge... I changed the Link to here at the sidebar on my blog.... hope that´s okay for you.
So I will go and start some new(old) things to use for the next ten days *lol

YAY to another NBUS challenge! And another YAY for your pretty card, Darnell. Love the pop of colour combined with the black silhouetes and the lovely frame brings it all together.
Marianne x
Yay!! Another chance to shame myself into using the mountain in the corner of my workroom. Do be careful though picking strangers off the street!! xx
Congrats on so many new followers, Darnell!! I certainly have acquired more than my share of NBUS since the holidays. I keep adding to the basket and I must start playing with it all. Hope I can get at least one card in before the deadline. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yahoo another chance to use up even more of my NBUS schuff. I love the card you did, if you have time can you tell me. Are all those flowers together as one stamp and you just left the red flower head blank or was this a collection of stamps. It looks just wonderful, love that dash of red.
Loving the card. I'd never think to do different colours on a stamp.
Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sue
Your card is awesome! I have to have that stamp so will be adding another NBUS to my stash! I love your challenge and will be joining in again when I get home from Sarah's! xxx
Such a stunning card to inspire us to enter your fabulous NBUS challenge!
I hope you have a good weekend.
hugs Sue xx
Whaaat?! Have you got round to another NBUS challenge already? I have got plenty of new stuff to play along with so count me in! Love your black and white card with just that touch of pink, Darnell and so glad that you joined up with us at Time Out :) Have a great weekend x
Lovely card! Great framing of the focal point by embossing that die! I've got lots of new NBUS - can't wait to play!
How exciting, another NBUS challenge! I can't wait to play along! Your card is absolutely gorgeous, Darnell. Love those pretty floral with a single pop of color. Hugs!!!
Congratulations on having so many followers. You shouldn't be surprised! You are such a wonderfully kind and generous blogger and funny to boot! What a great combination. Oh and add talented to boot. What a lovely card you've shared here. It is stamped so cleanly. Love the pop of pink, too. Have fun with the challenge!
Hi Darnell! Wow, NBUS Challenge número cuatro! Cool you rock girl! And it ends on my b-day, too. Maybe I'll be able to join in this time. Happy hugs!
Your card is gorgeous! I have that stamp set in my NBUS too, in fact I think I have more NBUS than I have US.
Jane
Fabulous!! I've cut back a bit on buying of late... but there may be a little kit from SSS on its way! Count me in!
=] Michele
Congratulations on another follower milestone Darnell, and thank you for another NBUS challenge. I have plenty of NBUS waiting to be used, so I hope to back in the next few days. I love the way you used the beautiful CI stamp on your card.
Jean x
Very nice card Darnell, love the pop of pink. Thanks for another go at NBUS, got plenty to choose from : )
Well it is certainly no surprise that you have reached over 800 followers Auntie! A big congrats!! Now I can't wait to get some more NBUS out and play along, it's always fun to get some of that NBUS used and into the ABUS. Your card is just beautiful, love that stamp, those flowers are so pretty and I'm in love with it. I also love how you used your die as an embossed element on your card. This is "homework" from my die class! Can't wait to do this technique myself. Now I must go see which of my NBUS that I want to use this go around. lol Hugs, Brenda
You know I'm all over this! You're such a peach for hosting a challenge. I don't have to tell you how much you're loved by all of us out here in blogland; it's easy to see just by the (at last count) 807 followers! Love your card, btw. The die is fabby, but that stamp and the way you've colored it is even more so! You so rock. Say hi to the girls tomorrow for me, and have fun! Bev
At this rate you will be at 1,000 by the end of next month! Congratulations dear Darnell! Love that CI stamp and love how you have used it, your card is a real stunner... Hugs, Annie xx
Hi Darnell, Love your design, and the CI image. The pink flower pops, it's wonderful! Great that you are running another challenge... cheers, Shirleyxx
Yay! I haven't been doing much stamping recently so I'm going to use this challenge as a little jump start.
I love your card and the look of black and white with the surprise of color. And I will have to check out Lil' Inker for some stitched rectangle dies. Everyone is using them but I haven't been able to find any in stock anywhere.
What a stunning card! Love that stamp and how you colored just one blossom in for a pop of color! Gorgeous!
I love how you used the stitched rectangle as an embossed frame - so pretty!
Thanks for your generosity of spirit and time in sponsoring another NBUS challenge!
A fabulous card Darnell - I'll be joining you soon with a NBUS card.
Kath x
Time to get my rear in gear this weekend and do some creating. Sat at my desk the other day, but the mojo just wasn't there! Have a super weekend, Darnell!

Hi Darnell - thank you so much for the nice comment you left on my blog, and thanks for following me! Your card is fabulous!

Thank you so much for taking the time to host this awesome challenge; I look forward to looking at the other crafter's creations and finding even more blogs to love! Take care!

Congrats on reaching yet another milestone! (I can't say that I am surprised...smile) Thank you again for another one of your fabulous challenges...(and you encouraging us to break out our NBUS!)

Ummm, hi Darnell, it's no. 104 here, I think, unless someone posts a comment ahead of me, then I'm even further down the line.
Can I just say, love the card. It's a beauty, really!
The stamp is one I've never seen, and you made it a class act on this card! If I ever get home, I'm joining in. Taking care of my daughter who had surgery. Mom duty. Looks like a fun one this month!
What a fabulous card, Darnell! That's a perfect pop of color if I've ever seen one. I adore your challenges, but honestly, I really think of you all the time as I create because I really am trying to make sure I use all the things I have...that or share them with someone else. :) I just finished two cards for your challenge...hoping to post them soon. :)

Super challenge again Darnell. I am so ashamed to have to say thy I have shedloads of NBUS in my stash. Do I need to go into therapy and sit in one of those semi circles of like minded souls and admit yes I'm a NBUS!
Hugs Mrs A.
Whoo hoo, Darnell! Thanks for another NBUS challenge! I'm thinking that perhaps you could hold one every day???That way I MAY have a slight chance at using everything in my stash :) or not...LOL
So sorry, Darnell, please delete 127 (I forgot about the number of challenges rule) xx
Hi Darnell.

Hey Darnell!-Beautiful card.I love the little splash of colour-it really makes the pretty image stand out.
I have come to play in your NBUS challenge-but,i am only playing for fun so please don't include me in your draw this time-i need to use up my NBUS mountain!!
Hugs,Nessa xxxxx

Look at this fantastic turn out, so far! So happy that you decided to continue with the NBUS Challenges! You are awesome!
Whew, realized as I was posting the Rudolph Day card, that it also qualified as a NBUS, so skated over for a fast linkup. Oh my do you ever have some fabulous entries, and I will get back over to peruse at a more leisurely time. Also in scrolling down to the challenge post, I got a glimpse of some breath-stopping cards you've shared. Gracious, life just gets too busy and I can't enjoy all the beauty I want to see! Big Hugs & Thanks for hostessing another NBUS Challenge. Mwah!
I am new to your blog and this challenge! Glad to have found it. I dug out and used some old embellies and flowers for this! Thanks for the inspiration!
There are SO MANY times that I could be entering this and ALWAYS forget...why?!! I don't know!! I certainly will make it a point to do this my dear!! :) HUGS
WHAT A GRAT IDEA! luv the stamp set you used for your card, super cute! I will have to play along, I have so many new things...thanks! so glad you played along with us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
sparkle & shine *~*
Wow, your challenges are so popular - Just wondering if that's because we're all such shameful 'must-have-aholics' or are we really just making sure we have enough NBUS so we can come and play with you?!! Either way well done and thank you for another super challenge xx
Oh My G--, Darnell, I have only just seen this card, it is absolutely my all time favourite card, just love it to bit, it is absolutely stunning and the type of image that I would drool over. The pink flower is a touch of genious

Whew, I had been meaning to enter your challenge for weeks but only now got some crafting time in. Love this motivation to break out something that I have never used (and unfortunately, I have a lot of that!).
This sounds great fun - have I time to enter hmmm maybe not but hopefully next month. Only just seen the link on Chris's blog. Great idea.

The pop of pink....perfect!
Wow, Darnell! I love how you used the stitched rectangle to emboss a frame. Looks fab, I'll have to remember to try that. Speaking of NBUS, I've been doing some buying lately, but not a lot of stamping. I should be doing this challenge!
