Happy September! I love the start of a new month because that means it's time for a new kit! As we kick off the "BER" months I am hoping to jumpstart my creativity and really bash some stash!! So without further adieu let's kick off the September 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, somewhere along the way 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:
Now for my September kit:
I plan to use this kit to create an alphabet book for my sweet little granddaughter who loves looking at picture books!
My papers:
These papers are an eclectic mix from the following lines: CTMH Happy Heart (pink crosses); Echo Park Telling Our Story (floral papers);CTMH I Heart Us (yellow striped paper); Echo Park Little Dreamer (coral dot and red heart papers); Simple Stories Quarantined (green grid paper); Echo Park Oh Happy Day (pink gingham paper); Shimelle She's Magic (multi striped paper); and Echo Park Happy St. Patrick's Day (multi dot paper).
My embellishments:
I love this fun mix of embellishments from the following collections: Simple Stories Heart Eyes 12 x 12 sticker sheet; Simple Stories Hey Crafty Girl 12 x 12 sticker sheet; Echo Park Little Dreamer 12 x 12 Sticker sheet; Simple Stories Heart Eyes Cut apart tags; Echo Park Telling our Story 12 x 12 sticker sheet; Doodlebug Designs Pretty Kitty 6 x 12 sticker sheet & ephemera from Simple Stories Dream Big.

My stash bash item: Enamel dots/bling:
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: enamel dots/bling
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!!
