Happy March!! Wow, less days makes the month zoom by!! I'm looking forward to Spring aren't you?? A new month always gets me excited to start something new and it's time to kick off another month of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash of 2021!! So let's dive in and get this party started!!!
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 2021. 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:
Here are the rules for 2021:
This month we will create a kit with 10 papers (dig into your stash for new or old papers it's up to you!), 5-7 scrap papers (let's keep those scrap piles under control!), 3-4 embellishments (new or old- you decide), and some washi tape!!!
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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021
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 this month's prompts:
My 10 different patterned papers:
Here are my scrap papers:
These papers are from Simple Stories Oh Happy Day (dark pink stripe), CTMH Beautiful Friendship (navy flower); Simple Stories St Patrick's Day (multi floral); Stampin' Up (pink- unknown line) and the pink plaid is unknown but it must be pretty old as it is only single sided!! I didn't pull a lot of scraps this month as I really don't have a lot of navy scraps and the pinks in this kit are kind of unique and hard to match!!
My embellishments:
These are from Echo Park Splendid Sunshine (12 x 12 sticker sheets -2); Simple Stories St Patrick's Day (6 x 12 sticker sheet); American Crafts Dear Lizzy Darling Details (chipboard stickers) and Dear Lizzy She's Magic enamel shapes! I love these enamel shapes and have been hoarding them for far to long! I'm excited to continue to use up some 12 x 12 sticker sheets this month!!
My Bash item : washi tape
These rolls of washi are from Vicki Boutin, Simple Stories, Crate Paper and Prima Marketing....I don't remember the brands of them all but I think it is a good representation of the colors in this kit! I don't know about you but I have SOOO much washi!! I am excited to use some of it up this month!
I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join Lori and myself as we endeavor to bash some stash this month! Remember if you play along make sure and use the #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021. I can't wait to see your kit! Happy creating!!
I love the pretty colors you have going on in your kit! It's definitely got that springtime vibe going on - which I am so ready for - and those washi tapes are yummy! I can't wait to see what you create with your kit!
