The Great Stash Bash Adventure 2022 ~the saga continues!!

Happy New Year!  It's a new year and we are kicking off a new saga of The Great Stash Bash Adventure with Lisa & Lori!!  I started out 2021 with a bang bashing my stash but mid-year I fell into a slump 😕 and I ended the year falling flat on my face in regards to using my stash!!  So I am determined that 2022 will be a better year in regards to using my stash....and let's face it, I can't do much worse 😂 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 January 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 January 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 ALPHAS!!!

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 decided on two mini kits instead of one larger kit!  It was SOOO hard to narrow down my papers to just 10 but I wanted to have a better chance of using up my kit this month so I kept it to 11 papers this month!!  

My kits for January:

Here is my first mini kit this month:

This kit features papers & embellishments from Carta Bella Gather at Home, Carta Bella Welcome Winter & Echo Park Have Faith (green).  I am hoping to scrap some pictures from last years once in a lifetime snow storm with this kit!

A close up of the papers, I love the snowflakes and the beautiful floral paper with the pops of pink and green!! 

A close up of my embellishments. These are from the Snow Much Fun (chipboard & cut apart cards), Hip Kit Keeping Cozy (words), and Carta Bella Winter Market (ephemera) and Welcome Winter (puffy stickers).

These 12 x 12 alpha sheets are super old and are from Echo Park Hello Winter & Winter Park. I am hoping to use these up this month!!  Wish me luck!! 

My second kit:

This kit features papers some fun papers and embellishments I plan to use in my Faith & Gratitude Journal for January and some of my snow pictures as well as a layout documenting my One Word for the year! 

This kit features papers from the Echo Park Have Faith and Forward with Faith collections.

A close up of the embellishments from Echo Park Have Faith collection (12 x 12 stickers) and the HIp Kit Keeping Cozy collection (envelopes, and ephemera). 

These alphas are from American Crafts, The Paper Studio, The Hip Kit Club Keeping Cozy & Flourish collections! 

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!!
