Does anyone else buy digi stamps (and masses of other stash) and then just not get round to using it? I do and even more so when I was working and money rich and time poor. Now I'm just short of both sadly!
Any hows I've just discovered an amazing challenge where you are encouraged to dig out the 'Never Before Used Schtuff' - NBUS !
How brilliant is that? I need to join this challenge loads - maybe even do a nbus stamp day, a nbus embossing folder day and so on - oh my I could fill a whole week with different items for a few years at least! However, sadly I've just homed on the rules and it's an event that only happens twice a year - I'm gutted!!
Oh well onto my card and the schtuff used - LOL! The digi is one from way back by Whimsie Doodles I think and it has been lurking on my computer hard drive unloved which as it's a real cutie this should not have happened. I printed one image on to white card including the sentiment and also one image onto acetate so that I could overlay the cocktail glass part to give it a real feel. The sheep was given a furry touch using some of that blow up white stuff that has also been in my stash sometime unused. If you're wondering how the acetate is being held in place the glass has a slot in the top so the sheep is holding the top in place and the decoupaged cherries are hiding the attachment at the bottom. The acetate is also folded around the original piece of printed card to hold it in place.
If you are like me and a bit slow at finding great challenges and want to join this one be quick I think the last day is tomorrow!!
Have fun - see you soon.
