Happy New Year! It's 2024 and time to launch another fun year of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure! We are excited that you can join us for another fun year of our Great Stash Bash Challenge!! I did not do well on using my kits in 2023, but that is the great thing about a New Year, it's a chance to start anew, so cheers to a new year and a fresh start!! So without further adieu let's kick off the January 2024 edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2024!!
For our 2024 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 2024. 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 Stash Bash kit recipe for this month:

I picked these 3 fun 6 x 8 paper pads from: Simple Stories Year in Review collection, Simple Stories Happily Ever After collection & Elle's Studio ledger paper collection
Here are the rules for 2024:
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 :
6 x 8 or 6 x 6 paper pads!!
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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2024
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!!
