Uniko Sponsors the NBUS Challenge!

Hey!

I am super happy you have stopped by the blog today, as Uniko is sponsoring another FABulous challenge :)

The lovely Darnell (who recently GD with us) holds a super challenge, here is a few details about it... 

Like most crafters, Darnell found she was purchasing new product faster than she was using it, especially when she put it away and then forgot about it! So she coined the acronym "NBUS" to stand for "never-before-used schtuff" and every time she used a virginal item, she called it NBUS in her post. 
The acronym caught on in Blogland and now you'll often see crafters comment that they used a "NBUS" product on their creation. To thank her followers and to encourage others to use their NBUS, Darnell started her challenge in 2014. This current challenge is the fifth NBUS Challenge and it runs from September 8-18, 2015. 



I am absolutely delighted to be part of this FABulous challenge & sponsoring it, if you take part and join in HERE you will be in the chance of winning

'a Stamp Set of YOUR choice, from the upcoming Uniko September Release'. 
Along with Uniko there is an AWESOME collection of sponsors for the NBUS challenge, so be sure to check out the rules & details HERE.

I couldn't not sponsor the challenge & tell you all about it without joining in myself with a NBUS item I purchased recently...




My NBUS on my card is the Pretty Pink Posh stitched banner die & tiny heart die that comes in the collection. I still had my Flower Power #6 stamp set on the desk so gave that one a little more inky love too.




Now, along with the prize for joining in on the challenge I am also going to give ONE lucky comment the chance to win a prize!

 Simply comment on this post by the 18th September and I will randomly draw a comment to win a stamp set from the Uniko September Release! 

How does that sound? Good I hope! Ok, that's all from me just now, I will be back later today to announce the WINNER of the recent Uniko Challenge. Until then, thanks for stopping by and HAVE FUN joining in on the challenge.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful supportive post, Beverley! I appreciate your enthusiasm and your help in spreading the word about my challenge! Thank you, too, for the generous prize you are offering on my blog AND the additional comment prize you are offering your readers here! I'm very appreciative!

    You are seriously one of the kindest people I know, not only in how you are helping me, but also by the fact that you used another company's products for part of your NBUS card design! It just shows what a huge heart you have and what a giving person you are!! And I LOVE the card!! Hugs, Darnell
