Since I am unlikely to be gallivanting around for some time in an abundance of caution...its time to tackle my bin of new unused stamps and dies. I am pledging to myself nothing new until all have been used at least once. Below is a photo of my bin...there are things in there over a year old but I so had to have them at the time...I know as crafters we have all been there.
First up, a rather new set from Clearly Besotted Pawly Plushies. The set is get well themed. I have a few sets in the same theme but I wanted something new and these Clearly Besotted bears are so cute.
This card is going to visit the Just Us Girls Challenge - Heal
Thanks for visiting!

Yes I think most of us 'have to have them' and then not use them for awhile! Great that you are trying to CAT. What an adorable little bear and card, with wonderful colouring and sentiment. It sure would bring a smile to anyone that was poorly x.
Good for you on pledging to use your stamps before buying more! I love your choice of images for our challenge, that little bear is adorable. This design is fabulous with the soft color creating a panel around your beautifully colored image. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
So cute and and I think your project is great!! Gundi
This is a sweet feel better card. A cute image with that little bear bringing flowers. I feel better now that I know someone else has a bin of NBUS. This is a good time for me to start using those things too.
sweet little bear card - i wonder how my bin would look if i put all my unused sets in one place - i usually label them in a plastic pouch and file them - not too smart i think!!
I love how you have positioned the image on this one. We have an abundance of caution in this household too, I am having to cancel a few things because of it, which makes me sad, but the bright side is more time for cardmaking! Good luck with using all your unused stamps. I think I need to take a leaf out of your book xx
LOL Cat, you have the "It'll come in SO handy at some stage, I'm SURE of it" mindset down very accurately - I've definitely been there :) It's lovely to make a concerted effort to use those NBUS stamps. I love that cute Clearly Besotted bear with his bright flowers and the sentiment is perfect. You are the best person to decide what's best for you so don't feel bad about being cautious. Vicky x
I think we all have a bin or two. The bear is adorable and I really like the design too.
This little plushy is sure to make even a sick person smile, Cat!! lol
How adorable is this guy!!??

Such a sweet little bear, Cat ... and what a pretty soft, plushy background you've created for him! Yep, I'm in the 'nothing new' phase too ... seems to have been going on for a looooong time!! Hugs, Anita :)
Your card is so stinkin' cute, Cat! What a sweet way to send get well wishes. Oh, yes, I'm working away at my basket full of not-yet-used stamps, too, and hope I can stick to the same pledge. I try to make myself use all the stamps in a set before it gets filed away. Some have been in there for a while! Good luck!
The perfect get well card, Cat! Love how you did the background!
Just adorable!
