Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020 ~ September edition!

Happy September!!  Today starts a new month which means we are launching a new edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020!  Fall is almost here, and pumpkin spice has hit most stores!! So let's get this party started with our September edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020 challenge!!   

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 using 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 September challenge:

Here are the rules:

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 round embellishments!!!

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

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!  We also hope you will 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 is my kit using the September prompts:

I am so excited about this kit!! My plan for this kit is to make a lot of cards to beef up my card stash of which I need a lot of thank you and birthday cards!! I am also going to be documenting with this kit in my TN and making a fun encouragement journal using these fun goodies!!

Some close ups:

My older papers:

 These are my older papers which are all from CTMH.  There are 3 from the Every Little Thing line (floral, green, blue stripe) and the rest are from the CTMH Mix in Line (grid, black plaid, black hearts and lavender dot) I really love these papers and colors and have been hoarding since I got them, time to use them up!!!

My newer papers:

 These papers are from the Pink Paislee Horizon line (yellow floral and blue speckle), Heidi Swapp Art Walk (light green grid) and PinkFresh Studios Noteworthy line (cut apart cards).  I think these will mesh well with the older papers I picked.

Here are my scraps:

 These papers are from American Crafts Shimelle's Never Grow Up line (yellow words), CTMH Every Little Thing (green and navy floral), Echo Park (yellow dot) and navy scroll/medallion is from the Photo Play Paper line We are family.  The other lines I don't remember as the branding strips are gone!! As you can see I picked a lot of larger scraps this go round!!

My embellishments:

 For my older embellishments I chose an ephemera pack by PinkFresh Studios the Indigo Hills line, tags from Pink Paislee Horizon line, acetate letters from the Hip Kit Club and a 12 x 12 sticker sheet from CTMH Every Little Thing.  For my newer embellishment I picked stickers from the Pebbles Jen Hadfield HomeMade line.

My circle embellishments:

I chose 3 sets of enamel dots one from Pink Fresh Studios, one from Elle's Studio and one from My Mind's Eye!  I was also digging in my stash and found these amazing epoxy stickers from Pink Fresh Studios from their Simple & Sweet line!! The wood buttons are from My Mind's Eye.  The flair buttons are from A Flair for buttons and last but not least there is a mixed embellishment pack from PinkFresh Studios that has some circle wood buttons, enamel dots and epoxy circle stickers!!

I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join myself and Lori as we endeavor to bash some stash this month!  Remember if you play along make sure and use the #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2020.  I can't wait to see your kit!  Happy creating!!
