Happy Saturday and Happy March 1st! Ahhh - March! The month when we (finally) start having more warm days than cold, the grass starts turning green, and everything feels fresh and new. Bring it on!
I've been a terrible blogger and Instagrammer lately. I do hope to get back on track in March, and if I don't share here on my blog, I will at least share my projects on Instgram.
Let's get to my kit for Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash. If you don't know what this challenge is all about, here's 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 kit as possible on different projects.
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 our stash! If you play along - link up on either my blog or Lisa's blog (or both if you choose) so that we can see who is joining us each month.
Here is the recipe for March:
To create your kit, pull 10 papers, 3-4 embellishments, 5-7 scrap papers, and for March, our focus item is alphas. As per usual, I have not stuck with numbers here, and I have pulled more papers, more embellishments, and more scraps. That's what usually happens when I am actually pulling from my stash instead of using a collection kit. I go overboard!
Here is a look at my kit:
I tend to pull my kits with the theme of the month at Sketch N Scrap in mind, and the theme for March is Over The Rainbow. That paired with the fact that when I was pulling my kit together we were sitting at about 0 degrees with 6 or 7 inches of snow, well, I was looking for anything bright and cheery! I just couldn't help myself!
Ooh! Just look at all of those fun, bright, happy colors! We have Pinkfresh, Echo Park, Crate Paper, and Pebbles are represented here, and I can't wait to dive in and play.
Here is a look at the embellishments:
I've talked about these boxes before - they hold the random little items that I haven't used on a project, or pieces from past kits that I have not put away where they belong. I have pulled two more to work from this month. At the end of the month, whatever I don't use, I will then add to the color boxes I have sitting on my desk.
And, I wanted to add this cut apart paper and stickers since they match some of the papers in my kit (just in case I might need them!):
Since we are playing with all of the colors of the rainbow, I have added quited the selection of scraps and a few 6x6 papers to my kit. I would really like to use up quite a few of these guys!
Just looking at this pretty little pile of papers makes me smile!
Our focus item for March is alphas and I have pulled a few:
All of these alphas live in a basket that sits by my desk at all times. I should not have any problems finding one to match whatever I am working on.
I am ready to tear into this kit and make lots of pretties this month!
