Happy March! It's a new month and time to launch another fun edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Adventure! So far 2026 has been a good year for me, I hope your 2026 is off to a great start too!!! I did not do as well using up my February kit as I had hoped, but that is the great thing about a new month, time to reset & start anew!! So without further adieu let's kick off the March 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 March kit:
This month I decided to go vintage!! I'm planning to make some layouts as well as use this kit to decorate my journal for March and maybe make a card or two!!
A close up of the "A" sides of my papers:
These papers are all from the Simple Stories Flea Market collection. You can't really see it in this picture but my white cardstock is embossed with dots, so fun! It has been in my stash for so long! Time to use it up!
The "B" sides of the papers:
My embellishments, alphas & stash bash item (enamel dots):
For my embellishments I chose 2 cut apart sheets from the Simple Stories Flea Market collection, a 12 x 12 and 4 x 6 sticker sheet and ephemera from the Simple Stories Flea Market collection. My alphas are from the Simple Stories Flea Market sticker book and I also chose a super old alphabet stamp set to use this month from Stampin' Up. My enamel dots are from Doodlebug Designs and Queen & Co and Simple Stories.
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: enamel dots/bling
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!!
