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!

It's Here! NBUS Challenge #5!

Welcome!

Today is the Big Day!! NBUS CHALLENGE #5 IS HERE!
Let's get right to it! If you're like me, when you play in a challenge you want to know three things:
  1. The theme.
  2. The dates.
  3. The rules.
So here you go!

Anything Goes!


12:05 a.m. PST on September 8, 2015 to 
11:55 p.m. PST on September 18, 2015

  • You must use a NBUS item on your creation and indicate what it is. It doesn't matter if it is old or new, although that old virginal schtuff would really like some attention!
  • This challenge is a thank you to my followers, so to be eligible for a prize, please join via the blue "Join This Site" button on my side bar.
  • Cut and paste the NBUS badge into your post or on your side bar and include a link back to the challenge post.
  • Please enter only four other challenges in addition to this one for a total of five.
  • Link up your creation using the Inlinkz button at the bottom of this challenge in the usual way.
  • You may enter a total of three times. New work only please.
  • HAVE FUN!!

I mean, is that COOL or what?!! Thank you, awesome companies, for sponsoring NBUS Challenge #5! And thanks again to Jeanne!

The above wonderful sponsor logos are occupying the first Inlinkz thumbnails below in the order received. I hope that you will show your appreciation for their sponsorship by visiting these fabulous companies! You will be rewarded when you visit them not only by the products they offer, but by the special prizes some of them are offering for NBUS participants on their blogs! Go see!

SELECTION OF PRIZES

Because you are all my friends, I could never select one of you over another, so I will use Dr. Random and Mrs. Dot Org to choose the prize winners. They will work throughout the night and day on September 19th. I will notify the sponsors of the winners' names via email on September 19th and then Hammy and I will have a wodka to celebrate another successful challenge thanks to them and to all of you!

On Sunday, September 20, 2015, I will post the names of all the winners and their prizes!

GO!

I can't wait to see the beautiful creations you make and enter below using one or more item of Never-Before-Used Schtuff!!

If you have any questions, please email darnell dot knauss at gmail dot com.

Thank you very much for participating and for being incredible followers and supporters! Your friendship and your cheerleading comments keep me going! Hammy and I appreciate you very much!

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