Happy February! I hope your 2023 is off to a good start! It's a new month so that means it's time for a new edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure! I am so sorry for the delay in posting, life as they say always has a way of throwing us curve balls and this past month I had the BEST EVER curve ball thrown at me, I become a grandmother for the first time!! Here is a picture of my sweet little granddaughter Violet:
Violet was born 7 weeks early but both Mom & baby are doing well and I am happy to report Violet is now home after spending a few weeks in the NICU. So as you can I have been a bit busy feeding, bathing and just cuddling my sweet little girl!
Now it's time to get on with the show as they say! So without further adieu let's kick off the February 2023 edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash!!
For our 2023 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! New in 2023: We will also be placing 10 things in our "bashket" each month. This "bashket" is progressive meaning at the end of the month we will keep what is in our basket moving into the next month. Our goal is to use up 10 things or 120 ITEMS from our stash by the end of the year!
Here is an explanation of how the "bashket" will work:
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 2023. 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!
This month I decided to pick just ONE large kit! Here are the "A" side of my 10 papers:
This is a mixture of some Doodlebug Designs Lots of Love & My Happy Place papers with one CTMH paper (grid) thrown in!
Now for the "B" sides of my papers:
A few of these papers are a bit busy for me but who knows I may end of using some of them!
Now for my scraps:
These scraps are mix of Doodlebug Designs, Simple Stories and CTMH. I love this color palette!
I added in some Pebbles Baby Girl ephemera I had left over as well as some enamel hearts from Illustrated Faith, Ephemera and stickers from Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place and some super fun Red Thicker Alphas!
Now for my bashket items:
Here are the rules for 2023:
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 wood veneers!!
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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2023
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!!
