Things don’t always go as planned with me and that is what happened here. I had the intention of making this into a blueprint type of thing since this stencil was inspired by blueprints of archeological sites. But my mind took it a totally different direction and turned into an idea factory! Be sure to check out the video and see how I layer the stencils.
I’m giving away one 9×12 Blueprints of Archeological Treasures stencil to one random commenter! This is day 6 of the giveaway – be sure you’re entered into the 5 giveaways from earlier this week! I’ve got all the links below for you.

Great stencil – perfect for layering!
Why ARE they called ‘blueprints’ ??? where’s the blue??
The inspiration for the stencil came from archeological site blueprints Gill 🙂
Loved the layering of stencils.
I love all your videos because I always learn something.
This is a fabulous idea for creating depth on journal pages & even card backgrounds. Thank you for sharing.
I have shared this on Pinterest I have a board Carolyn Cube.
Great new stencils!!!
Another fun use for your stencil…Love it!
When I first saw this, being of the programming persuasion, “flowchart” came to mind, which plays nicely with your “idea factory”… love that wallboard words stencil and all the fabulous stuff one can do with it
Love geometric designs. This could be used for a number of ideas… even scrapbook applications for various size photos linking family or friends with events on the connectors. Lots of ideas running through my head. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love your tutorials and stencils! Thanks for opportunity to win one!
Wow, loads of potential in this stencil. 😉
This stencil has so many possibilities for using it…love it!
Stencils are exciting…especially for someone like me who is challenged in the drawing department…Love all the colors!
love your colors!!!
Such a fun page using the stencils!
pinned it! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/253538653998069516/
I love the way you use layers so freely. The tunnels have so many possibilities.
I love this stencil!
Thanks for the chance to win!
WooHoo! Wonder what three stencils would look like. Play time.
Loved the layering stencils, it even brought me to another idea, but I am still busy with first one, but it comes, definitely. Fantastic spread Carolyn.

Brilliant, Carolyn!
Now every time I see this stencil, I think of good memories from Ephesus and Pompeiii! Got this stencil in the mail this week! Yippee!
I would have looked at the finished page and wondered, how did she do that? But you have revealed another stencil-ing secret to the world. Always love you and your practical ideas.
May I just say…WOW! What a creative idea! I love how your mind works!
What fun to play with these ideas. Yes, yes, yes, I covet this stencil.
Fun fun fun, love all your fabulous colors.
So many things you could do with this stencil on its own or for layering. It would also make a great framework for doodling! Love how you popped out the focal point squares and layered with the word stencil!
Love today’s page! I like the way you added the words to the background and then journaled in the tunnels. Your work is so fun!
Love the layering idea.this one came out great. Might try it myself with putting words in the boxes to try. Have to get that wall of words. Love the tickets too!
This is a beautiful stencil, Carolyn — useful in many different applications. And it works nicely with at least one of your earlier stencils that came in the 6″X6″ size. Thanks for coming up with all these great stencil designs!
Love all your new stencils! And the layering of stencils and your bright colors are fantabulous!!
OMG every time I watch one of your creative adventures!!! I end up buying another Stencil or art supplies… You Spark me!! Lol
Love the wall of words under the blue prints! Such a cool page!
Love your idea for layering. Can’t wait to try it. Your ideas are always so much fun.
Another great way to use stencils. Thanks
I would love to try this with gesso to make a resist and inks..
Another great stencil. I love how you used the colors and the word stencil to give you page pop and interest.
Another home run, Carolyn! Love hearing how you ‘think up’ these seemingly obscure stencil ideas! Then how you use them!
New subbie here. Love your enthusiasm. Found you when I watched ’21 ‘. Love and Hugs
Very cool journal page – I love the way you layered the two stencils.
I love it. Never thought of combining two stencils like that. Thanks.
Love the bright colors in this piece but like the pops of white too!
I love your new stencils, Carolyn! And thanks for the video – I love seeing how you recover the mistakes and they become a new opportunity – it’s the attitude! Thanks always!

This stencil is really different from the ones I already have. It looks like it would be lots of fun to play with.
Such a great stencil! Love the technique you showed us and would love to win this. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the colors on this page. I saw it as a planner chart, but I am sure that, with the stencil, I could come up with more delicious ideas
I would love this stencil!
Love the way you layered the looks to get a design and the white pen really does it for me.
I love your finished look. Like color blocking.
Your random journaling is giving me some good ideas. Thanks
LOVE your videos. I am a devoted fan of yours and have taken your classes. Just purchased wall of words and I would love to win this giveaway.Thanks for all your inspiration.
Love the layering of stencils. Blueprint is a great stencil for an art journal. Gives a lot of space for journaling. Thanks for sharing…
Your ideas spark my thoughts!! Live what you did with the stencils.
You always make me appreciate my mind changing mid-stream! Love it!
Love the idea of an archeological blueprint – has so much potential.
Have posted this on Pinterest – board called papercrafts
I am here again and wanting that “pipes” stencil! LOL! Great video.
Another great size – which would I get the most use from – 9×12 or the 6 inch….please please please let me win one.
thanks
I love the idea of layering stencils! A great way to add layers, texture and depth. Thanks for showing us the way!
OK you never cease to amaze with your creative machine. There is so much to learn from each of your videos. I must say the most important lesson I like to (and need to) hear is reminding us of oopses being ok and that we should have fun and play! Thank you.
and whoever wins a stencil is a lucky person!!!
I would so love to try layering this one with some of the word stencils. You could make a maze of words within the blueprints pathways.
what a versatile stencil — my favorite kind!
I love the geometrical style of this stencil. I can see so many possibilities with it! Thanks for your inspiring design.
I just love your videos! Love all the wonderful colourful layers.
great with gelli plate I’ll bet. Yet another great stencil.
I like the blueprint stencil. Stencils are a favorite if mine, also learned a new trick, add another stencil to it… great…
Love the colors – reminds me of a crazy 80s sweater i have.
Wow, what fun this stencil would be. Thanks for offering one to a winner!
now this one is colorful I like the pinks and greens more,
I’m working my way backwards – love your videos; you are such an inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love this stencil and the video how to use it.

Enjoyed your video using the Blueprint Treasures stencil. Very unique, but wondering if a darker paint would have shown up more on the words stencil?
I don’t know….it is all in the experimentation. Right?
You are right -all about the play!
What a fun stencil. Very versatile.
