Hello, everyone! Happy Sunday and Happy March 1st! We have been enjoying beautiful spring-like weather lately, and it looks like we are going to be getting some much needed rain this week.
The start of the new month means it's time for another Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Challenge. 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 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.
I managed one whole layout from my kit last month. I had hoped to get at least one more made, but I was too busy with other things. I plan on keeping what's left of my kit together, so I can get the other layout made when things slow down.
Here are the requirements for our March kit:
To create your kit, pull 3-5 patterned papers (any size), 2 - 3 embellishments, 2 - 3 cardstock sheets, alphas (stamps, stickers, etc.), and our focus item for our stash bash for March is enamel dots/bling.
Here is this month's kit:
I went a little bigger with my kit this month, starting my kit with Pretty Little Studio's A Beautiful Day 8x8 papers. Tara over at
The Paper Snob Community on Facebook hosts "Designer Deep Dive" every month, and the designer/manufacturer for March is none other than Pretty Little Studio. Whether I officially play along with the group or just play along on my own remains to be seen. Whatever the case, I am going to have fun using some of my {neglected} Pretty Little Studio goodies.
Here are the papers I have pulled to use. Since they are 8x8, I pulled a few more than the required 3-5:
These papers are so fun, but they do have a glossy finish to them - which, for some reason, always makes me hesitant to use them. I don't know why other than I just prefer non-glossy papers, but I am going to do my best to get over that!
Here are the cardstock papers I pulled:
I might have gone a little overboard with how many cardstock papers I pulled, but I pulled the striped paper out and tried to match each color as closely as I could.
Here are the embellishments I have pulled:
As I was looking for all of my Pretty Little Studio's embellishments, I came across the Paige Evans Blooming Wild embellishments, and they match really well with this collection.
I pulled so many embellishments, so here is another photo to see everything a bit better:
And another photo of embellishments:
This box is full of cut-apart words and phrases from Pretty Little Studio.
Our focus for March is enamel dots/bling. I have a little pouch of mostly used enamel dot sheets, so I pulled all of the ones that had colors that matched this collection. I even put a mostly-used bling pack in my kit. I would love to get the majority of these little guys on layouts this month!
My apologies for the dark photos and the glare in the photos. I was forgetting that February is a short month! I thought I still had a couple of days!
I really am hoping to get more than one layout (of my own) done this month. I am continuing to work on my friend's album, so we shall see.
Be sure to head over to Lisa's blog - My Creative Endeavors - to see the beautiful kit she has put together. Remember, this is a just-for-fun challenge, but if you do play along and put together your own stash bash kit, add it to the linky below, and we will be sure to check it out and cheer you on!
Here are the rules: 1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but please concentrate on using your kit, and link it below. 2. Create new, not previously posted projects using your stash kit. 3. If you have a blog, please include the challenge graphic and 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
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have a wonderful day!
