A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff. Note: my Privacy Policy can be found at a tab below and you can find my NBUS Challenge online. I hope you'll join in the fun there! Thanks for coming by! Have a beverage and enjoy!

NBUS Challenge #12 ~ Day Two!

Hello, Stamplings!
Welcome to Day Two of our ten-day challenge to USE NBUS! For all the details on the history, rules, and prizes, please go here. If you have a card to enter today, the linky tool is below!

My card for Day Two:
I have so many friends who would love this naughty Halloween card with a NBUS sediment from Riley & Company! Somehow those frolicking giggling ghosts make it less offensive!

I'm entering this card at Moving Along With The Times, where the brief is to use a sediment as the focal point with no other stamped images.

~~~

Oh, wait, speaking of shenanigans, I forgot to show this photo the other day:
Are we all looking in a different direction?! That's funnier to me than my attempt to do the hokey-pokey and shrink myself because they put shorter Lois behind me! You can see she is on her tipply toes. Too bad you can't quite see Hammy in my right hand!

~~~

Off you go now! Use that NBUS!!

Enjoy the challengeNo, seriously, enjoy!

Jane Willis said...

I love that sentiment - I could think of at least a million uses for it and none as fab as your cute ghostie card!
And just look at the gallery already -all that NBUS lying gathering dust in craft rooms all over the world and you - YOU Darnell - are responsible for it being rescued!

Love your ghostly card Darnell - so glad you had that as a NBUS.
As for that photo - what do they say about a picture being better than a thousand words..... ???? ;-).
I was going to enter last night but your first post had not come up - never to worry, and I sure I can get another couple of cards using schtuff rescued from the dusty files goodies before the end of the challenge.
Blessings

That card cracks me up and the picture is a hoot. Looks like a good time and I'm sure there are some shenanigan stories to tell. [Bunny]

cm said...

Hear, Hear to the sentiment...and your ghosties just add to the shenanigans aspect! Such fun! Awesome photo with all of you looking in different directions; that, alone, makes it priceless! Working on my first NBUS today!
Hugs~c

conil said...

Seriously, I don't know which is funnier, the card or the photo. Leave it to you to start my Monday with a hearty guffaw. That sentiment is hilarious... cannot understand how you resisted using before now. I'm totally in love with it.
You really reached far back into history to come up with hokey-pokey...does anyone do that anymore?

Cara said...

Fabulous card with a fantastic sentiment, love your photo, so funny!

Colleen said...

Darnell, your card is a hoot, seriously, kind of like YOU! I love you! and I love your card, but that picture takes the cake...what is everyone looking at??? Those are the best kind of pictures and you take it over the top my friend!! Heart Hugs on Monday Morning! Col

You look so fresh faced on these snaps......sickening lol!
Best wishes.

Pat said...

I love your beautifully bright Halloween card Darnell and the fun ghosts accompanied by that great sentiment, and the wonky stitched rectangle is the perfect style for this card. You all look extremely happy in the photo and it looks as though there was more than one photographer so nobody is quite sure where to look..lol. x

Verna Angerhofer said...

I love your card and that is such a fun sentiment. I sure chuckled when I read it. And, I love your photo too. You all are having a blast I can tell!

Bonnie said...

He, he! At least you didn't get a picture of the nudity! You and your friends look like you're having a wonderful time! And so do the ghosts!

Lisa Elton said...

Too much FUN Darnell!!

BożenA said...

I love your gorgeous card for its intense color. I also love these sweet ghosts, you can not be afraid of them :-) Great picture, the shade has done such a good job. If I can declare a prize, I will be rewarded with a voucher for shopping or prizes 9. Thank you for the great moments, I am always looking forward to your next posts, funny cards and wonderful challenges :-)
Hugs,
BożenA

Bobby said...

I think those ghosts are laughing at the idea of nudity in people of a certain age, Darnell. But as for the rest of it, I'm in. Love me some shenanigans.

Happy Dance said...

Fun, fun, fun!! The sentiment reminds me of how we laughed at the Lake House until the tears ran down our legs, hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Those ghosts must have been hanging around with us, and are still laughing! I love this card. The straight-up orange and black really puts the spotlight on the sentiment. This is a great card! LOVE it!!!! Missing you darlin'! xoxo Bev

Karenladd said...

OH my goodness Darnell, it's a good thing I wasn't in the middle of drinking a huge glass of water or I would have spewed it all over my keyboard! Between your card, and that hilarious photo, you can probably hear my laughter all the way across to the East Coast. Those little ghosts certainly look like they've been up to shenanigans, and if I'm not mistaken, they are also quite nude. Check, check, and check.

Leanne said...

Although I've been following you for over a year, I doubt I entered the challenge here. Besides forgetting to, I haven't been a regular blogger. Now on, I won't forget as I have it on my blog sidebar. Have a lot of NBUS.

Marcus Barrett said...

Very nice website awesome free advertising for my stickers.

scrappymo! said...

Great card and great photo, Darnell.

Anonymous said...

Some how I knew you had a blast! Awesome pic.
The card is funny too!

Craftychris said...

Awesome card with a sentiment that is sooooo true! A perfect photo to go with it (no nudity obviously!). You all look to be enjoying lots of fun shenanigans! Yay! Love it! Hugs xxxxxxx

Leslie Miller said...

Hahahaha! Those ghosts are so cute and, yes, they do make the sentiment more appropriate, but, hey, what's not appropriate among friends? Your photo is hilarious! You all could be posing for an Art Impressions stamp, except that you're all too pretty.

Redanne said...

Thank you for the giggle, I just love your naughty Halloween card!! Love the photo too! Will write soon, I promise! Hugs, Annie xx
