The Easy Way to Get Movement into Your Pages with a Stencil

 

This is not a major feat of engineering in my art journal…it can’t be since there was no measuring involved!  But it sure is fun to flip those birds back and forth in an interactive art journal page!  They’re double sided and I am having a blast flipping the birds from side to side…

The birds are stenciled on both sides – and it was so easy to do with a stencil!  Why did I not think of this sooner?  If I had thought about this back in my scrapbooking days when the kids were younger, there would have been so many many interactive pages!

Check out the video to see how easy it is to do this! And no fancy measuring required!

    Carolyn,
    I loved this. Can’t wait to make my own interactive something–have to admit I’m leaning towards birds, too. Maybe because I’m enjoying all the birdsong that has returned with the warm weather.
    Thanks for a terrific video!

    Acne and pimples happen because of inner dis-balance in the body due to too much
    quantity of some toxins. Such harmful toxins then foil with the different glands of
    the body leading to excessive formation of certain kinds of hormones which lead to adulteration of the blood.
    You may have heard about the impurity thing about blood in many health issue.

    Did you ever brainstormed what is this. It is
    the more than normal amount of chemicals in the blood than normal which lead to different type of
    problems in the body. Acne and pimples are one such problem.
