Hello and Happy Sunday!

THANK YOU to everyone who played in my NBUS Challenge #5! It only ran for ten days, but there were an amazing 501 entries! I know there are only (only!) 500 entries in the gallery, but I received one entry via email, as well. My heart is so full of love and appreciation for all of you!

THANK YOU to all the companies who so generously sponsored NBUS Challenge #5! It is very much appreciated and I hope to see you back here for NBUS Challenge #6!

THANK YOU to all of you who visited these company sponsors and who visited each other's blogs to leave com(pli)ments!

NBUS Galleries

Please remember that all the NBUS galleries are available to you for inspiration! There is a tab at the top of my home page with links to all the former challenges and I also have a NBUS gallery board for each one on Pinterest. 

[Please note that I load the cards to Pinterest in the order that I comment and because I am way behind on commenting, you may not see your card(s) saved to my Pinterest NBUS#5 Board until later. Since The Mister is still bedridden as he recovers from hamstring reattachment surgery and, now, also with DVT Syndrome, that may be much later. Thank you for understanding!]

New Followers:

THANK YOU last, but not least, to all the ladies who have joined the Playhouse! I am so pickled tink to welcome you! I will be introducing you as soon as possible in my New Friends Corner!

~~~

Of course, I made you a thank you card so I'll close with it!

 

I used a Hero Arts wooden stamp for the image and a SU wooden stamp for the sediment. Both were heat embossed with NBUS platinum e/p by Ranger, which shows up better in the close-up below. The watercoloring was done with Ziggies.  

Challenges

• Happy Little Stampers: Sketch Challenge.
• Less Is More: Technology. The Hero Arts line image stamp I used on my card reminds me of those boards you see when you take any modern electronic devise apart. You know, because hamsters like doing that.
• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Love This Technique: Two of them: heat embossing and watercoloring.

~~~

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

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
