Happy July! The heat is on full blast here in Texas, I sure hope it's cooler where you are, but the heat makes it the perfect weather for staying inside and crafting! I love the start of a new month because that means it's time for a new kit! So without further adieu let's kick off the July 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:
I plan to use this kit to document our Summer! I love these colors and think they will be perfect for almost any of the Summertime fun events that I will document!
The "A" sides of my papers:
All my papers are from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer collection.
The "B" sides of my papers:
My embellishments:
I think these embellishments are so much fun! The 12 x 12 sticker sheet and the cut apart cards are from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer collection. The enamel dots are from Pebbles Inc. The puffy stickers are from Elle's Studio's Family Fun line. The ephemera is from Carta Bella's Summer collection and Cocoa Vanilla's Sunkissed collection.
My scraps:
These scraps are from various manufacturers. The yellow and bottom left orange scrap are from Stampin' Up. The bottom right orange scrap is from Chatterbox, and is VERY OLD! The remaining scraps are from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer collection!
My stash bash item for this month: ALPHAS:
All my alpas are Thickers this month, I could have added a lot more as I have so many but I thought these alphas give me plenty of choices!
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: 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 - #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!!
