 hello  how are we today, how was your weekend ?
 
The Happy  Craft Challenge  Community Group
This  weeks  mini challenge is  Maureens  using Stencils,                                                                            I  just love stencils & the things one can do with them , so many choices  to choose from
ive been working on my primary school photos & today was   my last  one to do ,
My first day at school
  Products ive used ,
TCW  6 x 6  stencil  clock
Dots  stencil
Amy Tangerine Stencil
Kaiser  mini  Designer Template - Foliage  IT 005
chipboard for fence ,
Kaiser  Chocolate cardstock
Kaiser  base coat collectables
Kaiser    spray mists  -denim

To begin with,  which stencil should i use,  when im undecided. i get out my small dots  i use this a lot. its so versatile
then  thinking  school , so clocks,  ive picked the smaller one of my 3 that i have , it has  words on it as well,  Time
umm  now what,   it needs another name  FUN  yes, this i have on a  Amy Tangerine  stencil, it has 4 words  on it  but  i dont need them all
FUN TIME  yes thats it
i started with gesso, i find this is sometimes a  bit too  thin when i  want it thicker .   the word fun is  done with  gesso,  then with the TIME , i got out my   texture  paste and while i had the clock  in place ,then sprayed   with my Kaiser  sprays   here i have used  Denim
of course  i have to mat the photo  so this is  in Kaiser   Chocolate  cardstock
 now dont you hate it when everything is running good, then  cause im trying to use stuff i found this blue  glue,   that i bought  on a bus trip in toowoomba,  you know i just  had to had it ,but come home get back into routine  then wonder what to do with well,  3 years  later im  going to do something even just glue down  but as i start , its clogged isn't it , so i squeeze the bottle , you know what happened hey,  yes  over  my painted fence,  now what  ! ! !! i dont have a spare fence  lying around, lets make use of it , a few dabs with my hand ,smear here and there , looks  vintage now ,  looks good , ( you know the  saying theres never a mistake   with scrapbooking , only opportunities )  and i quite like it

I  love A Mothers Art  Butterflies,  by  Kelly-Ann Oosterbeek she has designed 10 colours, but today, im using brown, i dont use the browns  ones much

i didn't want to just throw  away mums writing  on the photo , so have included it  on the page, and  at the top have  added   tabs   and Smile Today from Kaiser  Base coat  collectables

Thinking it needed just a touch  more , i have  got out another  of Kaiser's stencils mini   designer  template  Foliage & with my  white gel pen have drawn  in the  spaces,  so it looks like part of a  garden  from the left hand side of the layout
i have just added  3 punched holes at the top, as its going into a  Kaiser  album  for safe keeping ,

Hope you are inspired to   create  something using stencils  this week
I have used  4  techniques  with 4  stencils for this layout

dont forget , Maureen  challenge runs out on Thursday,
Happy Scrapping
