NBUS and Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Hello ...
Life is finally getting back to normal after Christmas and New Year ...
My inspiration took some time out and getting it back has been a struggle

I did however get around to making a card for the NBUS challenge run by the lovely Darnell at djkardkreations




So, I have quite a lot of paper pads one or two (or more) have never been used ... Especially those pages where there are little symbols or words ... Not doing much scrapping I generally use them for albums ... 
I also had a new word die "You" from Simon Says Stamp that I hadn't even opened ... 
So this is where my NBUS card came in


The dottie paper, the Hello and the red embellishments are all papers from a Teresa Collins pad "You are my happy"
I smothered the little heart and the circle fabulous with dimensional Mod Podge - cut the word die out a few times and stuck them together for more dimension and just added a few sequins


The Monday challenge over at Simon Says Stamp is all about pairing old with new so I think my card also qualifies ... Old paper pack - New Die

At least it got me creating once again

I hope you're having a good start to your week ... I'll be back tomorrow for the first challenge of the year at City Crafter

Thanks for stopping by - Enjoy your day
