Happy February! It's a new month and time to launch another fun month of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure! I did not do well on using my kit last month, for some reason I just wasn't inspired much by my kit and used other things to create with, not the start to 2025 that I wanted but it's a new month and a chance to start anew!! So without further adieu let's kick off the February 2025 edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2025!!
Here is how our 2025 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 2025. If you accept the challenge to play along - link up on either my blog or Lori's Blog My Happy Life (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 February kits (this month I am picking 2 kits!)
February Kit #1:
We actually had some snow in Texas this year, and I took a lot of pictures so I am hoping to FINALLY use up this older stash to create some fun snow layouts!!
The "A" side of my papers:
These papers are from: Dear Lizzy She's Magic (Green grid), Simple Stories Winter Wonder (peach dot & green plaid), Simple Stories Quarantined (green lines), Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy (Multi lines, snowflake and peach plaid), Simple Stories Freezin' Season (multi dot), Crate Paper Snowflake (navy); and Bea Valint Poppy & Pear ( light blue grid).
The "B" sides of my papers for Kit #1:
My embellishments & stash bash items for Kit #1:
The 12 x 12 sticker sheet is from Simple Stories Winter Wonder, the pockets, ephemera and epoxy words are from The Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy collection and the doiles (my stash bash item) are from Stampin' Up.
My scraps for Kit #1:
All the scraps are from Echo Park (unknown collections) but the pink scrap is from Bella Blvd
Now for Kit #2:
I couldn't leave out a Valentine's themed kit in the month of February so I created this kit hoping to scrap some of the photos I will take this month!
My papers for Kit #2:
These papers are from Simple Stories Love & Adore (blue floral), Studio Calico Brighton Place (pink chevron-so old!), Dear Lizzy Fine & Dandy (multi dot) and Pink Paislee Lucky Us (pink words)
My embellishments for Kit #2:
My scraps for Kit #2:
Here are the rules for 2025:
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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2025
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!!
