Stencils are versatile. Why? Because you can use them how you like. Use the whole thing at once or use bits and pieces of it. That flexibility is what keeps me using stencils over and over and over. I’m sharing the fun by giving away one of my new stencils too! Be sure to keep reading to see how you can win!
In the video, I share how I used parts of stencils to put this art journal page together by creating my own embellishments and using only some of the words. No matter how many double decker buses I need, that stencil can make it happen.

I want those stencils. Guilt trip of a lifetime. Wa ha ha! Love the buses and trains!!! Follow on Pinterest and shared in Facebook. Thank for the giveaway
This stencil is awesome!! Loved the map page you did!
I remember my trip to London. It was literally one of the best trips ever. I gotta say that I love the sort of… cartoon-ish look to the design of the buses. I’m not sure if that was the intended look, but for me it makes it more fun looking.
My 8yr, 5yr and 1yr old grandkids are going on a 2 week road trip this summer! How fun to use those stencils!
So cool! Love the stencil and how it was used Another one I need!!

The camper van is the same as l used to go on holiday with every, as a child, with my parents (and l am now 63 !!!). 3. The car looks like a mini and l have one. YEH … three in a row! But if l don’t win it …:( … l will buy it anyway.

Would love to own this stencil. My daughter, who I lost Oct 2011, and I had a running joke after I heard her say Twilley instead of Trolley as we watched one pass us long ago
It’s pinned, I follow you on Pinterest and everywhere else. You stencils are great and cannot wait to play with your newest.
Thank you.
Love the modes of transportation. Great for lots of memories. Thanks for sharing you inspirations.

Love the Volkswagen bus on the stencil being a girl of the hippy era. I’d probably use it the most. Great page. The wheels on the bus go round and round.

More great ideas! Love the word stencil!
So cool. I am making my trip of a lifetime to England in July. Would love this stencil.
Following you on everything …. so glad l found your blog… loving every video! 🙂
I think everything you do is SO amazing !! Subscribing to your blog has (almost) silenced my inner critic — at least, it makes it hold its tongue long enough sometimes for me to really let go and create !! Thank you, for helping me to run free and make beautiful things !!!
Vrooom! Beep beep!
Thank you for a chance to win a stencil…… love the arches. Shared on facebook.
What a neat idea!
I have pinned, followed on Pinterest, shared on FB, & tweeted this.
LOVE this stencil. Awesome and great that you are able to express how important it is to take a look at the parts of the stencil and using them and not just the whole stencil. The trees in the forest effect!!!
awesome. Love checking in on all of the things you are doing.
Those stencils are great! I also adore maps, so I had to smack myself when I saw that you had used a portion of a real map on your journal page. DUH!! Love your ideas, and love the chance to see new videos and win a cool stencil. Thanks.
Me!! ME!!! ME!! If I wave my hand any higher..it will fall off!!!
I got a kick out of this video and the journal page you created. I too am one who frequently asks, ” are we there yet?” Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m just back from a trip to London and just like you, I’m fascinated by the traffic there. Love those red buses and black taxis! Your page featuring the stencil is one of my (many) favourites of yours. Thank you!
I could use this on so many layouts but the best ones would feature my dog sticking her head out of the passenger side window. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love how you incorporated this amazing stencil into art reflecting your travels!
did ’em all – Pin, share Twitter, G+, FB

Very fun and good use for this one!
Brings back memories of when we were travelling with the kids, lovely times! Your way of putting things together – inspirational.
