Many thanks to my teammate here at Die Cut Divas for the gentle nudge because I hadn't written my blog post. Since January 1st, I feel like I'm barely "hanging in there". There seems to be so much to do and so little time to do it. <div><br /></div><div>Our challenge this month is to use <span style="background-color: #01ffff;">Never Before Used Stuff</span>. I have a ton of that. I purchase things that I have to have, put it somewhere safe and totally forget about it. If you're like me, this challenge is for you. Go find that thing you had to have or maybe you just received it for Christmas. We'd love to see what you create with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>We don't have a sponsor this month. However, we're so grateful to <a href="https://whimsystamps.com/">Whimsy Stamps</a> for giving us at $15 gift voucher for our winner.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's my card</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhMkqaOX29J4ID6ugQ4o9v_cEvc4Cnc40m6zwEcEiygrcyS1OMKH8djogJPzxxIrmMu7IEN94j7HAikwmO3gXPGjb-CurwKtqWig9c5rWZ-OH2Airs_qxxSH-MOrLwj5WiHFBHTR-0PZ0DeXHiu_PZ_1kCsawvPEvUBUzHLRWQqXt_VruICsIIBQPO1jA/s706/2024%2001%20Jan%20A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="706" data-original-width="706" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhMkqaOX29J4ID6ugQ4o9v_cEvc4Cnc40m6zwEcEiygrcyS1OMKH8djogJPzxxIrmMu7IEN94j7HAikwmO3gXPGjb-CurwKtqWig9c5rWZ-OH2Airs_qxxSH-MOrLwj5WiHFBHTR-0PZ0DeXHiu_PZ_1kCsawvPEvUBUzHLRWQqXt_VruICsIIBQPO1jA/w400-h400/2024%2001%20Jan%20A.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">For my card, I used Whimsy Stamps' <a href="https://whimsystamps.com/products/panda-butt-clear-stamps?_pos=2&_psq=panda+butt&_ss=e&_v=1.0">Panda Butt</a> stamp set.
