Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 ~ April Edition!

Happy April!!  It's a new month so that means another fun edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 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 there is 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 April 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 brads/eyelets!!!

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!! 

This month I have created 2 mini kits with the prompt.  Here is my 1st mini kit using this month's prompts:

For this kit I put together some fun exclusive papers from the Hip Kit Dream Big collection.  The ephemera, wood veneer and chipboard embellishments are from the Dream Big Hip Kit collection and the puffy stickers are from the Pink Paislee Wild Child collection.  For this kit I picked some purple/yellow brads, silver brads and white flower eyelets!  

Here is my second mini kit using this month's prompts:

For this kit I am using a mish mash of papers from various manufacturers and lines including: Pink Fresh Studio Noteworthy, Pink Fresh Studio Some Days and Pink Paislee Bloom Street. The embellishments are ephemera from Pink Fresh Studio Noteworthy, Thicker phrases from the Pink Paislee Bloom Street line, Alphabet stickers from Pink Fresh Studio Noteworthy line and a sticker book and butterflies from Pink Paislee's Bloom Street line.  For the stash bash item I have included some pink heart brads and some fuzzy pink and purple brads which I believe are from Making Memories!!

Now for my scraps:

These should go well with both mini kits.  These papers are from Simple Stories, American Crafts, CTMH and Echo Park. 

Now for a closer look at my fun embellishments:

These lovely gems make my heart happy!!  I can't wait to play with them this month!  I am especially loving this kit because it includes different shades of purple which is one of my favorite colors!! 

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!  Remember if you play along make sure and use the #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!
