NBUS #3



Where did I get this cute "Cozy Christmas by Julie" stamp set you ask?  Well, it was a gift from my dear friend Darnell. She spoiled all of us with fabulous crafting goodies during our BABES adventure! A sincerely kind and generous soul :)

So apropos to ink it up for the first time for NBUS #3!

BTW, did you know that apropos is a real word?  I had no idea! I thought it was a texting shortcut word for appropriate! 56 years old and still learning!

Stamped the little houses with Momento inks. Added a SU sentiment and popped up the panel with some foam dots. Quick & simple (if you don't count the 5 remakes that were trashed due to inking mishaps!).

NBUS #3 closes at noon tomorrow, so get crafting!

BTW, did you notice the new watermark?  Would you like one for your blog? Get started by contacting Kylie, who offers amazing, speed of light customer service and great technical help.

  2. Darnell is one fabulous person that is for sure! I love this stamp and I am loving your card Geri! Such a cute stamp, the colors you used are fabulous. It is wonderful when you get another NBUS used isn't it?! Hummm, I didn't know that apropos was a word either, I figured it had to do with texting or something. You aren't alone, 55 for me and still learning. lol Hugs, Brenda

  8. Whee! I'm so pickled that you joined in my NBUS Challenge again, Ger!! Your card is so sweet for a new home card! I love how the little houses are all different colors and putting the wisp of smoke coming out of just one chimney is design genius!! Thank you for playing again and for your lovely words again! And, um, don't you think apropopo is way more fun to say? That's how I like to spell it, but I don't think it's in the dictionary - yet! Enjoy your day! Miss you!! Hugs, Darnell

  10. Perfect and completely adorable, Geri ... I agree with Darnell, the plume of smoke is a touch of genius! Had a chuckle at your 'not counting the remakes' ... put me in mind of upsidedown stamping ... oh to be playing there!! Hugs, Anita :)

  12. Yayyy....the water-mark I espied *is* a newcomer, and oh, what a sweet one it is! Classy and stylish, just like its owner! Despite the small feast your recycle bin had, I'm so glad you persevered, creating a most cheery, inviting, welcoming little neighbourhood! The puff of chimney smoke is charming! I'll be packing my bags and moving into that one *grin*, as you've shown it to be toasty, and I just know it has a craft just. for. me. Love this!
    Hugs~c
