I was going to wait until closer to mid month but next week is Spring Break here and I know I will be busy busy having fun (and referring!) my kiddos. So we get extra time to play and BASH THAT STASH (said in my best old time game announcer voice!) LOL!
This month we are going to be generalized. Based on the thread I posted earlier about what we needed to bash the most from our stash I have come up with the following:
6-15 items
You must include:
Non 12X12 paper (6X6, 8X8 or even scraps)
At least ONE cut apart sheet (size is your choice)
12X12 sticker sheet that came with a collection or a letter sticker sheet that is older than a year to you
Rubons or flat stickers
a TOOL you have not used in the past 3 months (punches, electronic/manual cutter, embosser, corrugator(remember those??) etc etc)
an item of your choice
****Remember you can substitute ONE item on the list for something of your choice if you no longer have it in your stash. Also items for BASH IT should be OLDER items as in at least a few months to YEARS old. We are trying to use the older probably forgotten things we bought and loved.*****
Show me what you have. Then try to complete a challenge (or all of them) hosted here by the awesome Peas!

These are my supplies. They are part of my build your own kit for April. The rubons were in my last kit but I have four packs of them and while I've made really good headway into using them up I'd like to keep working on them. I store my cut apart sheets already cut apart so I just picked a few that went with my kit so they come from different manufacturers.  |

Chinagirl828, great kit! I love that you've pulled decorative scissors. I brought mine to school ages ago. I need to pull them out for my students to use. I always lean towards flat stickers over rub ons, but I think it's time to pull some out use them.

Here is what I have pulled. I really really want to use my Big Shot in general more. I also want more texture in my pages so I figured dry embossing will do that.  |

I've never heard the word Bash being used before. I realize what it means, but is it a regional expression?

Chinagirl828 your page is per usual stunning. The composition is gorgeous. I love the computer journaling and you are doing a great job of using those rubons!

I finally sat down and made something. I am so glad I have kits and more kits. It makes it so easy to create when I have limited time but NEED to make something to balance myself out. Here is what I did with JUST this tiny bash it kit and some CS and inks. This photo was almost exactly a year ago, DS is on training wheels, now he is rides a pedal bmx bike around the whole track, no training wheels, at 4 WOW! What a difference a year makes!  |

crystalb I love the two PL cards surrounding your photo. I am terrible at using up the cards I own - adding this to my mental list of ways to use the darn things!

This page was not created from a kit--rather I put it together with supplies purchased at the crop I was at last weekend--but I DID use your sketch. Thanks for that!  Enjoy the View by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

I've never heard the word Bash being used before. I realize what it means, but is it a regional expression? I've only heard it in terms of physical violence, like in 1970's superhero comics type media, as in "I'm going to bash your brains in!" But that was national, not regional. I'd certainly never heard it applied to scrapbooking before these challenges, but I suppose it fits. And bash rhymes with stash, so there's that!  |
