Happy December! It's the most wonderful time of the year! The cold weather hit Texas early this year and it's been crazy! One day it's 80 and the next in the 30's! Mother Nature is taking us on a roller coaster ride this last month of 2022! I did do better at using my kit last month, as I made one card and one layout, however, you can barely tell I used my kit!! I have one more month in this year and I am determined to make good use of my December kits!! So without further adieu let's kick off the last month of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2022 with the December edition!!
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 December Challenge:
For December I decided to pick 2 kits. I have a few Winter/snow pictures to scrap and I also want to scrap some Christmas photos and make a few Christmas cards so I picked a Winter themed kit and a Christmas themed kit, however I feel I can interchange these 2 kits easily!
Here is my 1st Christmas themed kit:
Papers are from: Hip Kit Club Holiday Happenings (winter floral & snowflake),Crate Paper Hey Santa (red dot, black stripe & pink plaid), & Pink Fresh Studios Be You (mint dot).
My favorite is the Cut Apart cards!
Here are my scraps:
These scraps are bigger but I hope to use them to make more room in my scrap pile!
My embellishments & stamps:
Sticker sheets: Pink Fresh Studios Oh What Fun, Hip Kit Club Holiday Happenings, & Simple Stories Holly Days; Cut Apart Card; Pink Fresh Studios Holiday Vibes and stamps: Stampin' Up Santa's List & Cozy Christmas
Now for my 2nd kit (Winter themed):
Papers from Crate Paper Snowflake (snowflakes & cut apart cards), Pretty Little Studio Glitter & Ice (pink plaid & pink stems), & Hip Kit Keeping Cozy (multi snowflakes & multi chevron).
Once again it's going to be hard to choose which side to use!
I believe these are all from the Hip Kit Club but am not sure as I got them so long ago! Time to use them up!!!
Chipboard stickers: Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy; ephemera: Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy; enamel dots and words: Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy, tags/envelopes: Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy, white stems/florals: Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy & stamp set: CTMH Perk Up.
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 washi tape!!
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!!
