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

Happy October!  It's a new month and that means it's time for another edition of The Great Stash Bash with Lisa & Lori!  Fall is in the air here in Texas and it's my favorite season so I was so happy to get to pull out all things Fall for my kits this month!! So without further adieu let's get this party started with the October edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021!! 

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?  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 October challenge:

Here are the rules for 2021:
This month we will create a kit with 10 or more 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 embossing folders!!!
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 decided to do 2 mini kits again!! 
Here are my 2 mini kits using this month's prompts:
KIT #1:
For this kit I used what I have left of my Simple Stories Cozy Days collection from last year!  I must say this is one of my all time favorite Simple Stories Collections!

Here is a close up of the papers:


KIT #2:
For this kit I have TONS of embellishments!  The papers are from CTMH True Love & Sweet Girl, Pinkfresh Studios Days of Splendor, and Jen Hadfield The Avenue.  What mix up!  The embellishments are all from PinkFresh Studio Days of Splendor except for the very OLD wooden buttons from My Mind's Eye I threw in to mix things up, I have been trying to get rid of these buttons for years!!
 Here is a close up of the papers:

My embellishments from both kits:

It was hard to narrow down the embossing folders, as I have so many!! Here are the close ups of the ones I decided to use:



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 hashtag #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!

  1. I am still hoarding that Simple Stories Cozy Days collection! It is so pretty and I just love it! Both of your kits are simply beautiful and I look forward to seeing what you create! I see a few of your embossing folders that I need to look for! I haven't bought a new embossing folder in ages. Maybe if I use the ones that I have pulled for this month I will treat myself to a new one!
