NBUS Card Challenge Number 4 My Second entry

 I've been trying to make more clean and simple cards.  Mainly because I thought that they would be quicker, and also  so I can spend less on postage.   However, this particular Clean and Simple card probably took me as long to make as some of my eight layer cards....smile.   I think my problem is that I have a difficult time making decisions.  I keep adding and taking away things.  

For Darnell's challenges (I so look forward to those...like so many other people)  The challenge is fun!  There is also so much eye candy with looking at all the great cards that people submit to the challenge.

  I usually try to use a NBUS item that has been in my craft room way too long to not be used.  This  card doesn't follow my rule, it's using some NBUS items that are brand new. 

I went to a stamp show yesterday.  (Had a blast!)  and purchased some new stamps and dies from Sweet 'N Sassy stamps.  The above card was made using a stamp called Happy, Happy, and a matching die set  (Happy Day dies)  I also used my new Memory Box dies  Stitched Rectangle Layers.

 The wonderful, talented Darnell's Challenge can be found here...

 The picture above is one of the pics I took at the Our Daily Bread Booth.  This is one of my favorite places to visit at the stamp show.  Would you believe I took just a couple of pictures and my batteries went dead?  So I don't have much else to show from the show.

This is my goodies that I purchased at the show.  I purchased Rubber stamps (Not that I really need any more...smile)  and some dies, envelopes, glue, peel offs, brads, paper napkins, (to try and make some cards with them) and some Gelatos to try. 

Hubby went with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.  So glad he went with me, and I think he enjoyed the day too.  I could have stayed longer...but I thought the longer I would stay the more I would spend...smile.
