Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Challenge 2026 ~ February edition!

Happy February! It's a new month and time to launch another fun edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure!  I hope your 2026 is off to a great start!!!  I did use up most of the papers in my January kit so I am pleased with my start to the New Year!!  How did using your kit last month go?  I hope you played along and made one!!  

Now, without further adieu let's kick off the February 2026 edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2026!!

Here is how our 2026 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 2026. 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 kit for February:

This month I decided to go all out Valentine's Day!!  I'm planning to make some encouragement notes for some of my friends at church as well as use this kit to decorate my journal for February and maybe make a layout or two!! 

A close up of the "A" sides of my papers:

These papers are all from the Doodlebug Designs Lots of Love collection except for the multi dot paper that is from The Doodlebug Designs Love Notes collection.

The "B" sides of the papers:

My embellishments, alphas and stash bash item (doilies):

For my embellishments I chose a cut apart sheet for the Doodlebug Designs Lots of Love collection and a sticker sheet and ephemera from the Doodlebug Designs Love Notes collection.  My alphas are from Pink Fresh Studios & Doodlebug Designs.  My doilies are from Doodlebug Designs, Michaels and Stampin' Up. 

I hope you will join us this month!!!

Here are the rules for 2026:

Each month we will create a kit using the recipe (found above) of 3-5 patterned papers of any size (dig into your stash for new or old papers it's up to  you!), 2-3 embellishments, 2-3 pieces of cardstock, alphas and our stash bash item!  

This month's stash bash item is: Doilies

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 - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2026

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 #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2026.  I can't wait to see your kit!  If you create a kit link up below to share with us all!!  Happy creating!!
