Happy March!! Another month in the books. I am excited to pick a new kit but sad to report I used my February kit even less then my January kit making only a few cards with it. I will say I did a total revamp of my scrappy space which took up a lot of my time. I moved all my supplies from my kitchen cabinet and hall closet into my own room. I redid my office to make it a scrap room, I got tired of scrapping in my kitchen and having to keep picking everything up every time I needed to cook or entertain!! I am happy to say I love my new space but it took hours to set up!! I will share pictures soon! So without further ado let's get to my March kit!!!
For those who are new to the challenge here is how it works:
On the 1st of each month we will post a challenge prompt and the stash kit we have created following that prompt. During the month we will try to use as much of our stash kits as possible on different projects. Then, on the last day of the month, we will do a recap post showing what stash we were able to bash!
This will be a just-for-fun challenge so no monthly prize - but isn't the real prize using up our stash? You never know - if we still have a few unused stash items after a few months, then those items may just go into a giveaway. We hope you will join us in our quest to bash some stash in 2020. If you accept the challenge to play along - link up on either my blog or Lori's blog (or both if you choose) so that we can see who is joining us each month!
Now for our March challenge:
This month we will create a kit with 10 papers (seven papers 3 years or older & three newer papers), 5-7 scrap papers, 4 embellishments (three that are 3 years or older & one newer one), and some stamps!!
Since this is a just for fun challenge the rules are not set in stone BUT we have them to help you focus on what really matters using your stash & to help spread the word of our fun challenge so others may join in!! You know you have at least one friend who needs to use her stash!!
Here are the rules:
1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but please concentrate on using your kit.
2. Create new, not previously posted projects using your stash kit.
3. If you have a blog - please include the challenge graphic and a link to our challenge in your posts.
4. You may link to social media if you don't have a blog. If you share on Instagram, please make sure to use - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2020
Here is the kit I created using the March prompts:
Here are some close ups:
My older papers which are from the Fancy Pants Trend Setter Line (3 papers), the American Crafts Fine & Dandy line (3 papers) & Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go line. I think they coordinate well together don't you?
Here are both my older papers & the 3 newer papers I chose which are from the Simple Stories St. Patrick's Day line & the American Crafts Wild Card line.
Here are my scraps. They are from Stampin' Up (green flower), Fancy Pants Good Old Days (map and navy w/ white flowers), pink (SEI), and Echo Park (green floral in lower right corner).
Here are the stamps I selected. All 3 sets are from CTMH and I haven't used any of them yet! Hoping to change that! They are called: My type of Note; Sweet Birthday & Birthday Greetings. I am hoping to build up my stash of birthday cards this month!
And last but not lease my embellishments! I have for my older 3 embellishments a 12 x 12 sticker sheet from Fancy Pants Trendsetter and sticker sheets from Crate Paper Oasis & Thickers from American Crafts! For my newer embellishment I am choosing a sticker sheet from Simple Stories St Patrick's Day.
I hope you will be inspired to dig through your stash this month and play along with myself and Lori as we endeavor to bash some stash in 2020!! If you chose to play along make sure and link up below, we'd love to see what you have put together for a kit & what you create with it! Happy creating friends!
This is a beautiful kit, Lisa! I love your papers and the embellishments you have picked and I hope you get some time to scrap in your new space with this month's kit!
