One card, 3 challenges!

Hi everyone, well I got around to making a card for this week's challenge over at Less is More and remembered I had to post it on the NBUS challenge on Darnell's blog. Thought I'd better check in case there was a twist and guess what ? Darnell is GD over at CASology and the theme is NBUS!
For any NBUS virgins this means "never before used schtuff".

So here we go with the LIM theme which is:

It's back to 
One Layer Cards 
once more and this time our theme for your cards is 
New Beginnings.


Come and see what I made:


This months Creative Stamping magazine had a large freebie set of stamps called New Beginnings, how coincidential was that? I was going to use the baby stamp but my sister, Karen beat me to it so I settled for this, cute eh? I used NBUS cardstock, NBUS stamps and an old Anna Griffin ef which allows me to enter it in the combi challenge of Darnell and CASology.



Check out both blogs for inspiration. Off to get changed for Aquafit and tonight is our first night back at Rock Choir :)

    You sisters have SO much talent between you!! Karen's baby card was precious, but I love your awesome owl card, too! Using that owl image was perfect for a new school and he sits beautifully in the fitting e/f! Thank you so much for linking to our joint CASology and NBUS Challenges! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
