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

Happy October!!  Today starts a new month which means we are launching a new edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020!  We are still in the low 90's here in Texas but the evenings are cooling down making me dream of Fall and the cool crisp days and nights!  So let's get this party started with our October 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 October 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 12 x 12 sticker sheets!!!

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 October prompts:

I'm so excited to use up some of these 12 x 12 stickers sheets! I have so many so it will feel good to use some up!! I am hoping to scrap a bunch of pictures of my trip to the pumpkin patch this year with these fun Fall papers!!

Here are a few close ups of my kit:

My seven older papers:

All these papers are from the Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest line from a few years ago! I always loved the colors in this collection as well as the adorable farmhouse motif so I guess instead of using them I ended up hoarding them, so I am hoping to finally use them up...I'm so sad Jillibean Soup will no longer be doing scrapbook collections but I guess that is going to be better for my pocket book!! 

My three newer papers:

These papers are all from the CTMH collection called True Love and it is suppose to be a wedding line, but I think these papers are perfect for any occasion and coordinate with the Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest papers well!  The plum in the Jillibean Soup collection is an odd color so I am so happy these plums are so very close!  I love all things purple!! 

My seven scraps:

These papers are scraps left over from the CTMH True Love line (plum stripe), the Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest line (blue plaid, plum plaid, butterflies and floral), and the green grid is from the Jillibean Soup Rainbow Roux line.  I spilled water on this paper and some of it is not usable as it is warped but I think I can use most of it for scraps!! It is my last piece of paper from this line!

My four embellishments:

Four my three older embellishments I am using the punch out ephemera from the Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest line and the sticker sheet and washi tape sheets from the Jillibean Soup Garden Harvest collection.  For my newer embellishment I am using these adorable puffy stickers from the PinkFresh Studios Indigo Hills line! 

My 12 x 12 sticker sheets:

These are a few sheets I though might coordinate well with my kit.  They are from a variety of manufacturers: Carta Bella Oh Happy Day, Photo Play Vintage Girl, Echo Park For the Record, Echo Park Victoria Gardens & Carta Bella Flower Market.

I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join me 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!!
