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.

NBUS Challenge ~ Day Nine!

Hello, Stamplings!

Welcome to Day Nine 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!

So here's the thing. Ahem. I did not excel in math in school. In fact, I had to take remedial math as a senior in order to graduate. In every other class I was an A student, but with my good looks and personality, God didn't think it would be fair if I excelled at everything!

Hammy and I were having our chocolate chip croissants and hot cocoa with brandy for breakfast, as we are wont to do, and we were admiring again all the excellent creations in the gallery and talking about what cards to make for the last two days.

Hammy went back to day one to remind himself of what had been posted when he suddenly coughed up a chocolate chip, which hit me square in the nose!

"What the what?!" I exclaimed, looking up to see him gesticulating wildly at the screen. I went around the table to see what had his carrots in a blender. As I leaned over, he pointed to the dates and times and whispered, "I think you have this thing set for eleven days!"

First I counted out the days, then he did, then he started smirking, and then we checked with The Mister, who further confirmed it and then he started smirking, too, and by then Hammy was rolling around clutching his sides until he laughed so hard he rolled right off onto the floor. 

He's okay.
So how about that?! I'm delighted to announce there will be an eleventh day ~ let's just call it a BONUS DAY ~ to my September 2017 NBUS Challenge!

In celebration of that, and the fact that the entries in the gallery have gone over 250 (whoot!), I think I need to add five more $25 gift certificates* to the list of prizes, donchu agree?! You're welcome, but, no, really, thank YOU for being a follower and a friend and for playing along and using your NBUS!!

And now for a card!
This NBUS sediment is one of my faves! It's from Verses Rubber Stamps. The bowl is from Stamps By Judith, which I watercolored with my Ziggies and an aqua brush. I hand drew the cheerios and the schparkly fruit loop, which is glossed to high heaven!

And real quick:

Every time you think I can't make a more QACASer card, I fool ya! I spose I could have left off the ice cream cone ...!
