Happy February! 2024 started off with a bang! I had fun playing with my first kit of the New Year and can't believe it's already time for our second kit of the year! Time sure flies when you are having fun creating! It's time to kick off the February edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure for 2024!!
Here is how our 2024 challenge 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 kit 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:
For this month I decided to work with just one big kit!
My February kit:
I love Valentine's themed papers, don't you???
These papers are from Doodlebug Designs Love Notes (florals, red plaid & blue XOXO paper), Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place (green leaf and yellow dot), Doodlebug Designs Love Notes (multi dot paper), Echo Park Oh Happy Day (pink plaid) & Simple Stories Quarantined (mint green graph paper).
CLOSE UP OF THE "B" SIDES OF THE PAPERS:
It's always interesting to me how the "B" sides often don't match as well as the "A" sides do! Even though some of these papers don't coordinate well I know I will use some of these "B" sided papers on my projects for this month!
EMBELLISHMENTS & STASH BASH ITEM (DOILIES):
I love this fun collection of embellishments! The ephemera pieces are from Doodlebug Designs Lots of Love collection. The stickers are from the Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place collection (12x12) and Doodlebug Designs Love Notes collection. The fun epoxy hearts with faces are from Doodlebug Designs. The doilies are from Stampin' Up (white) and Paper Studios (red).
MY SCRAPS:
My scraps are from Doodlebug Designs Kitten Smitten collection (pink hearts & green swirls), Doodlebug Designs My Happy Place collection (floral & green chevrons), CTMH (pink dot) and Doodlebug Designs Made with Love (multi-plaid). I am hoping to use these scraps up as they are the last of these collections in my stash!
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: DOILIES
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!!
