Never Before Used // #NBUS86 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used"...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a new dies from Stampin Up...seashells from Sunset Coast dies.
