Our designers have been busy making some wonderful inspiration for you all.

First up is Jenny at Cardsarus

She has made this wonderful Three Wise Men card. Loving the golden accents and mats.  Loving the sumptuous bow, and loving that holly!

Next up is Sam at Whispers Cards

I love this LOTV image as it is so adorable. I am loving the the Stampin Up design papers used here and loving the gorgeous red border trim! The snowflake dies have me drooling.  

My card is a combination of new and old elements. This image is the last one of a series that I stamped and coloured up a couple of years ago.  My first NBUS item is the DCWV copper Mirri paper that I used for the scalloped mat. My second NBUS item is the copper mercury glass look  rectangular mat. This was from a 12 x 12 scrapbook pad that I cut down into 6x6 papers. I matted it with a snippet of dark brown card just to ground it. My photo makes that brown mat look almost grey, but it was the only photo that did not horrid glare from the mirri card!!!

The brown satin ribbon is my third NBUS. It was on a present I recently recieved and I upcycled it onto this card. The mat is actually the same colour as this ribbon...

The DP is possibly from a 6x6  Best Creations paper pad. The glued edge of the pad fell apart so I am not positive. The Merry Christmas and the reindeer were already heat embossed onto the paper.

I used a VOS snippet of  berry red World Win card for the final mat. The scalloped 6x6 card was purchased in England on my last trip over there.

My sentiment is my fourth NBUS. I bought this stamp for $2.00 at one of the 4 garage sales my local papercraft store holds each summer. Vendors rent a spot and set up in the parking lot and sell like a car boot sale. Such fun!!! Sadly, the vendor did not have the original packaging so I do not know the manufacturer..

I am entering my card in Darnell's 12th NBUS Challenge over at djkardkreations blog. The challeng is to use at least one NBUS (never before used Schtuff)

Our September Rudolph Days Challenge prize is a choice between this Hero Arts CL722 stamp set

or This Memory Box Holly Leaf Border Die.
