TN Time with Lisa & Lori ~ November edition!

TGIF!!  This year is flying by! Can you believe it is already time for our November challenge? It doesn't see possible the holidays are upon us does it?!!  I'm excited to share this month's sketch and challenge with you, so without further adieu, let's get this party started!!

If you complete my sketch challenge link your TN, bullet journal or planner spread below. If you combined my challenge with Lori's challenge link up your spread here on my blog AND on Lori's Blog (My Happy Life). For 2021 we are making this challenge a "just for fun" challenge with no prize, but isn't the real prize just documenting your memories and getting more pages done in 2021???!!!! 

Now for my challenge!! Here is this month's sketch:

Now for Lori's November challenge (November 10th - December 9th):

What a fun challenge! Kraft is such a great neutral color don't you think?  I have so many cut apart/Project Life cards that I need to use, so I am so happy to participate in Lori's challenge this month!!! 

Here is my layout using the sketch and Lori's challenge:

Supplies Used: Cardstock: Stampin' Up Basic Black; Patterned Paper: Photo Play Paper Not a Creature was Stirring, Doodlebug Designs Here Comes Santa Claus & Fancy Pants Cozy Christmas; stickers: Photo Play Not a Creature was Stirring (gingerbread house, word JOLLY & gum drops), October Afternoon Very Merry (gingerbread man), Pink Fresh Studios Holiday Magic (word strip banner) & Pebbles Cozy & Bright (tree/peppermints); Project Life card: Elle's Studio; letter stickers: American Crafts Thickers; enamel hearts: Doodlebug Designs.

I am still catching up on my 2020 TN, I still have 3 more spreads to do and then I will be finished!!  I love how I was able to combine so many manufacturers on this spread to give it the exact feel I was aiming for!!  

Here are some close ups:

I have been hoarding this Project Life card for a while now, so glad to put it to use!  I outlined the Project Life card to pop it off the page.  I used this Kraft patterned paper by Fancy Pants as a background on this page as I felt like the white was to stark, I am loving the result this paper really brings out my kraft accents and embellishments! 

Since I added journaling here on this page as called for on the sketch I decided to embellish my Project Life Card which had plenty of room for journaling. I added this adorable gingerbread man from October Afternoon to the corner of this page as it was to big as an accent for my picture and just didn't look right as far as proportions went next to the Gingerbread house!

Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 ~ November edition!!

Happy November!  It's a new month and that means it's time for another edition of The Great Stash Bash with Lisa & Lori!  The weather is gorgeous here in Texas and the holidays are almost upon us!! So without further adieu let's get this party started with the November 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 November 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 alphas!!!

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 two fun kits for this month:

Kit #1 full of a bunch of fun fall colors:

Kit #1: Patterned Papers:

Kit #1 alphas:

Kit #2 is full of bright and cheery colors!

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!!
