TN Time with Lisa & Lori ~ May 2022 edition!

Happy May!!  Wow, April sure flew by!  We went from Spring to Summer in like a day here in Texas, it's already in the 90's!  Yikes!!  But luckily that means I can stay in and create!!  It's that time of the month again, time for another edition of the TN Time with Lisa & Lori challenge!  Yay! 

So let's get this party started with the May edition of the TN Time with Lisa & Lori challenge.  

HERE IS HOW OUR CHALLENGE WORKS: 

This is a monthly challenge that launches on the 10th of each month  You will have until the 9th at midnight CST to link up your entries. 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). This is a "just for fun" challenge with no prize, but isn't the real prize just documenting your memories and getting more pages done in 2022???!!!! 

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

Now for Lori's challenge: (May 10-June 9th):

I have a confession to make!!  I made a mistake!  For some reason I just saw circles and not washi, so you will see my spread does not include the challenge to use washi! I had already taken my pictures when I realized it, so I will go back and figure out a place to add it soon and repost the pictures!!  And let's just say it's not because I don't have any washi to add to my layout that I missed it lol!!

Here is my layout using the sketch & PART of Lori's challenge:

Now for a few close ups:

Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2022 ~ May edition!

Happy May!  I absolutely can't believe it is May already!!  Where did April go???!!!   It's a new month so that means it's time for a new edition of The Great Stash Bash Adventure with Lisa & Lori!! So without further adieu let's get the party started with the May edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2022!! 

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 2022. 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 May Challenge:

Here are the rules for 2022:

Each 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 a stash bash item!  This month's stash bash item is enamel dots!!

1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but try to 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 & 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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2022

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 am back to just one kit!

My May kit:

Can you tell I am still on a Crate Paper kick??  I don't know why but I just love the vintage vibe of Crate Paper, in fact, there is nothing Crate Paper I haven't liked!!  So this month I stuck with Crate Paper but this time will be trying to use up the Marigold line I bought a while back and have been hoarding!! 

A close up of my favorite side of the papers:

All papers are from the Crate Paper Marigold line except one which is from the Crate Paper Magical Forest line (bottom dark green paper).

A close up of the back side of the papers:

Even the back sides of these papers are amazing, it makes it hard to pick a favorite side! 

My embellishments, including this month's stash bash item my enamel dots:

I have a mix of ephemera and stickers this month for my embellishments.  The stickers are from the Crate Paper Marigold & Fresh Bouquet lines and Jen Hadfield's 5th Avenue line which I think coordinates well with my papers!  The ephemera packs are from Pink Fresh Studios Days of Splendor, Fancy Pants Yellow Door and The Gr8tful Chick's Project Gr8tful collection by Illustrated Faith from November of 2021.

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 #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2022.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!
