NBUS Challenge #4! Here We Go!

Greetings and Welcome!!

◊ Head Quarters

◊ Back Ground

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!

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.

◊ 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.

◊ Gopher It!

I hope you'll join in and link up! I can't wait to see what you make with your NBUS!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* Mwah!!
