Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash challenge ~ February edition!!

Happy February!  It's a new month and time for a new edition of The Great Stash Bash Adventure with Lisa & Lori!!  I'm still not out of my slump 😕 as I have been dealing with family members who are ill this month but I am determined to move forward and hope to turn things around this month!!!  So without further adieu it's time for another edition of The Great Stash Bash with Lisa & Lori!  Let's get this party started with the February edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2022!! 

For those who are new to the 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 2022. 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 February challenge:

Here are the rules for 2022:
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 STICKERS!!!
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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2022
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!! 

This month I will doing just one BIG kit instead of two smaller kits!
Here are the papers for my February kit :
These papers are from the Pebbles Jen Hadfield line Reaching Out as well as one paper from the Buenos Dias Obed Marshall line by American Crafts (yellow grid) and one paper from Paige Evans' Wonders line (green).  I love these fun colors don't you?

The papers "B" sides:
I really like the "A" sides better but will most likely use some of the "B" sides as well on my projects!! 

Close ups of the papers (my favorite sides):


My scraps:
These scraps are all from the Jen Hadfield Reaching Out line by Pebbles, Inc.

My embellishments and stash bash items:
I picked all stickers for my embellishments and stash bash item this month!  I have a sticker problem lol!  I have way to many in my stash and need to use them up! These stickers are from the Jen Hadfield Reaching Out line (foam on left, cardstock stickers next to them, and pressed flower 3D stickers), Paige Evan's Wonders line (banner stickers), Jen Hadfield The Avenue (far right) and the newest line by Pebbles Inc Kid at Heart.

I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join Lori and myself as we endeavor to bash some stash!  Remember if you play along make sure and use the hashtag #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2022.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!

TN Time with Lisa & Lori ~ June edition!

Happy Sunday!!  As you might have noticed today's post is going up a few days late.  This was due to technical difficulties on my part, so sorry for the delay!  So without further ado, let's kick off the June edition of the TN Time with Lisa & Lori challenge!!!

HERE IS HOW OUR CHALLENGE WORKS: This is a monthly challenge that launches on the 10th of each month  You will have until the 9th at midnight CST to link up your entries. If you complete my sketch challenge link your TN, bullet journal or planner spread below. If you combined my challenge with Lori's challenge link up your spread here on my blog AND on Lori's Blog (My Happy Life). For 2021 we are making this challenge a "just for fun" challenge with no prize, but isn't the real prize just documenting your memories and getting more pages done in 2021???!!!! 
Now for my challenge!! Here is this month's sketch:

Now for Lori's challenge (June 10th-July 9th):

What a fun challenge!! I don't normally use a lot of yellow, but it is such a fun color and I do LOVE mustard yellow!!  And well, circles what can I say except they make a great addition to ANY layout!!  Plus I love enamel dots and that counts as a circle too!!!  
Here is my layout using the sketch and Lori's challenge:
Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Crate Paper Garden Party, My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus & Jen Hadfield Reaching Out; Stickers: Jen Hadfield Reaching Out & Hey Hello, cork sticker: Paper Studio & word strip Live Colorfully: Simple Stories Oh Happy Day; enamel dots: My Mind's Eye and enamel heart Pink Paislee I Love Us; journal tabs: Crate Paper Garden Party; journal card: Elle's Studio; circle die: Stampin' Up; epoxy Word sticker: Vicki Boutin; date stamp: Heidi Swapp & ink: Memento Black Tuxedo.

For the yellow part of the challenge I went with a mustard yellow.  I used the My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus paper on the left side as well as a yellow word strip sticker and some yellow in the one patterned paper and flower on the right side.  For my circle elements I used a die cut stitched circle as well as the circle sticker "Be Happy" on the right side and of course some enamel dots, which in my opinion is a MUST on any layout!! 

Here are a few close ups:

I love that paint brush, it was a perfect accent for my layout about fun times with my crafty babes at my recent glamping retreat!! I used a Project Life type card and loved those cute hearts on the side!!

I have had this Be Happy sticker in my "BASHKET" on my desk for years, so it was a perfect circle element to add to this spread!! I was to scared I couldn't write small enough for this small space so I used my computer for journaling on this layout!

Now for the nitty gritty of how to play along:

                                            RULES FOR THE CHALLENGE:
1.Create a TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK, PLANNER, OR BULLET JOURNAL spread based on the CHALLENGE THEME and/or our sketch.

June 5th card sketch at Sketch N Scrap!

Happy weekend! I hope your weekend has been super relaxing!  I have found a lot of time to just kick back and create!  This weekend I played with the June 5th card sketch at Sketch N Scrap!  This amazing sketch was created by sketch artist Heather. 
Here is this amazing sketch:

Here is my card created with this fun sketch:

Supplies Used: Patterned Papers: Jen Hadfield Hey Hello; 3D sticker: Jen Hadfield Reaching Out; sentiment "I MISS YOU"- Recollections.

I used up some scraps from my scraps pile for the papers on this card.  I had just been gifted these 3D stickers and wanted to jump right in and use this one as I thought it was perfect for a card!!  I hope you will play along with us this month, we would love to see what you create!!
