Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure 2025 ~ January edition!!

Happy New Year! It's a new year and time to launch another fun year of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure! We are excited that you can join us for another year of our Great Stash Bash Challenge!! It's hard to believe that 2025 is here isn't it???!!!  I did not do well on using my kits in 2024, but that is the great thing about a New Year, it's a chance to start anew, so cheers to a new year and a fresh start!! So without further adieu let's kick off the January 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:

Here is my January kit:

For this month's kit I am hoping to make a few layouts as well as use these papers to create a junk journal for my One Little Word for 2025 (more on this in another post). 

The "A" sides of my papers:

I love this eclectic mix of papers.  I have papers from The Hip Kit Club Dream Big line (rainbow, half circle and pink patterned paper), Echo Park It's Springtime (floral on bottom left), Paige Evans Blooming Wild (green floral paper), Bella Blvd Time to Travel (teal green dot paper), Bella Bld Besties (purple grid), Doodlebug Designs (multi floral top right), Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy (light blue stripe) and Simple Stories BoHo Sunshine (multi floral top right). 

The "B" sides of my papers:

My embellishments:

All my embellishments are from The Hip Kit Club Dream Big collection except the word stickers which are American Crafts Thickers.

My scraps:

These scraps are from The Hip Kit Club Dream Big collection (gray dot, floral and pink woodgrain), Bella Blvd Hippity Hoppity (purple plaid) and Crate Paper LaLa Love (pink hearts)

My Stash Bash item: cut apart/journal cards:

I have so many of these cards and cut apart card sheets but I think I picked some that I will use this month.  The cut apart sheets (starting at the top left) are from the PhotoPlay Serendipity collection, Paige Evans Blooming Wild collection, PinkFresh Studios Joyful Day collection, Heidi Swapp Set Sail and Storyline collections.  The cut apart cards are from various manufacturers. 

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: Cut apart/journal cards

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!! 

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 #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2025.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!
