I'm sure you are all familiar with Darnell, over at djkardkreations? Well, for those of you who aren't, she is one of my favourite bloggers, who makes such beautiful cards and has a wonderful way with words. And acronyms too. Which brings me to NBUS. NBUS stands for "never-before-used-schtuff", something I'm sure we all have an abundance of. In an effort to help us reduce the amount os NBUS we all have in our collections, Darnell is currently hosting her 3rd NBUS challenge.
The idea is to make a card using NBUS of some description, and then linking it to the challenge.
Naturally, I had to play along, especially as I had a whole bag full of new Sir Tim goodies to play with!
I really enjoyed the blackboard technique I tried out recently, so I decided to do another, and this was the result:
The stamp, brad, tissue tape and "play" ticket, are all NBUS. Sorry, were, as I obviously used them here! ;-)
In other news, don't forget about the DT call over at Buckwells Crafty Challenge. We're looking for a few extra teamies, so if you fancy playing along, please do apply!
Have an awesomesauce day!

Beautiful chalkboard card sammy. Love the selection of pattern paper and embellishment. Thank you for stopping by @ me blog and for kind words.
Wow Sammy, your card is just fabulous! I love that Tim stamp you used for your chalkboard technique. This really is a gorgeous card! Anne x
Great showcase of all these wonderful TH products and it's easy to see you're really going great with this look. What a brilliant card for the NBUS! Darnell will love it too! The Brusho's are fun, but I had to hunt for a USA source. Then get brave enough to venture a little use. I've seen some marvelous backgrounds & work from some UK bloggers, and it's called "enabling" (I prefer to think of it as helping boost the economy!). TFS & Hugs. Happy wkend too.
This is such a great design, Sammy! I love the masculine feel, too, and know a guy who would go nuts for all the gambling details on this awesome birthday card! Love the embossed white chalkboard effect, too!! Thank you so much for linking to my NBUS Challenge #3 and for your kind compliments! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
