Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash May Kit Challenge

Hello, everyone! Happy May 1st to you! Can you believe it is already May? Summer is almost here, and I am ready for it!

It is time for a new Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash Kit challenge, and I actually have my kit all ready to go this month! 

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.

 Here are the requirements for our May 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 April is flowers.

And, I just realized after typing that that I forgot to include my cardstock. I'm a little out of practice after not getting a kit together last month. 

Here is my kit for May:

I was feeling those spring vibes when I pulled my kit for this month, and since iNSD is tomorrow, I went a little bigger with my kit. 

Here is a look at my papers:

I have papers from Echo Park's New Day collection: the navy floral, tiny flowers on white, and the mint green papers. Echo Park's Easter Time: purple checked paper. The yellow heart paper is from Damask Love, and the navy tone-on-tone paper is so old I can't remember who it is from. Either O'Scrap or Pebbles. The blue grid and the pink-and-red striped paper are from paper pads, but I have no idea which ones.

I forgot to add the sticker sheet to the embellishment photo ( so out of practice here), so I added it in with the cut-apart papers I plan to use.

Here are my embellishments:

I pulled all of the die-cuts from the New Day collection that I thought I would use, along with the sticker book, puffy stickers, and enamel dots. I also went through my bashket (yeah, it's still around!) and pulled a few things: labels from Kelly Purkey, rubber words, wood veneer from Elle's Studio, word/phrase stickers from Simple Stories, epoxy shapes from Doodlebug Designs, a few brads, and a lot of random word/phrase die-cuts.

Here are the scraps I pulled - all are from the New Day collection:

Our focus item for May is flowers, and this is what I pulled:

Lots of stamps - sorry for the glare on those - wood veneer flowers from the Dollar Tree, puffy stickers from old kits from The ScrapRoom, and a few paper flowers.

I am ready to get a few pages made with my kit this month. Hopefully, it will be a variety of sizes - traditional 12x12, 6x8, and traveler's notebook layouts. I am really missing working in my traveler's notebooks!

 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
