Card #2 inspired by...
Just Us Girls // #JUG848 ...A "die cut" challenge with a theme!! The theme for this die cut challenge is ACORNS. Die cut some leaves from Stampin Up's retired Beautiful Bouquet bundle and I stamped some acorns from Stampin Up's retired Autumn Splendor stamp set.
Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb284 ...A sketch challenge using retro stamps!! My restro stamp for this challenge comes from Stampin Up's Autumn Splendor which come out in 2009. I actually found this set at a thrift store...it was brand new and had never been put together!!
The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used" ...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using. Today I am using an acorn stamp on both card (from Stampin Up's AUTUMN SPLENDOR // 2009) that I picked up at a thrift store last November...it is a wooden red rubber set that had never been put together...so brand new, never been used!! Oh...and I got it for $3...yippie!!
