Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2020 ~ December edition!

Happy December!!! This means 2020 is almost over!! Yay!!  I know you are as ready as I am for a fresh new start!! So let's kick off this month right with a new edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash!  It's our last month so let's finish strong!!!  

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 no monthly prize - but isn't the real prize using up our stash? You never know - if we still have a few unused stash items after a few months, then those items may just go into a giveaway. We hope you will join us in our quest to bash some stash in 2020. 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 December challenge:

Here are the rules:

This month we will create a kit with 10 papers (seven papers 3 years or older & three newer papers), 5-7 scrap papers, 4 embellishments (three that are 3 years or older & one newer one), and some chipboard!!!

1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but please 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 and 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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2020

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!! 

Here is my kit using the December prompts:

This month Lori & I decided we had several Stash Bash kits we had not really used as much as we would have liked...because well...LIFE!  So we decided for December we would go back through all the kits we have had for 2020 and pick out a kit for December from those untouched papers!!  So we get another chance to use up these papers!! Yay!

For my kit this month I made 2 mini kits:

For kit #1 I used papers from Echo Park Just Be You, Dear Lizzy She's Magic, PinkFresh Studios Everyday Musings and CTMH Celebrate Mix In.  The scraps are from PhotoPlay Free Bird Line and the stickers are from the Pebbles Homemade and PhotoPlay Free Bird lines!  What a fun kit, I love these stickers!  

Kit #2:

For this fun kit I chose papers from Pink Paislee Cedar Lane and Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go.  The scraps are from Fancy Pants Cherry on Top & Pink Paislee Cedar Lane.  The stickers are from Carta Bella Oh Happy Day, Pink Paislee Cedar Lane & Simple Stories DIY.  I also threw in some random wood veneers from various collections.

These are all the embellishments I have selected for this month:

Here is the chipboard I have selected for this month based on our stash item for December:

This chipboard is from PinkFresh Studios Everyday Musings (frames) and My Favorite Story (buttons).  The chipboard letters are from American Craft Thickers.  

I am super excited to dig into my fun kit this month!! I hope you will join me and Lori as we endeavor to bash some stash this month!  Remember if you play along make sure and use the #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2020.  I can't wait to see your kit!  Lori & I are still planning to do this challenge in 2021!!  If you have any suggestions on things you would like to see drop us a comment!!  Happy creating!!
