2017! It's the Mixed Media Monthly January Challenge…

…and you just need to Put a Stencil On It! Wow, can you believe it's 2017 now? I'm looking forward to a fresh new year and we have lots of exciting challenges planned for you at Mixed Media Monthly. =) This month our sponsor is StencilGirl and we want to see your projects using stencils.


I made a little journal using three stencils that I received. I always like to layer up different patterns to add interest to my stenciled backgrounds.



You can see the pattern more clearly on the back:


Inside - I used die cut jumbo tags for the inner pages

 These are the stencils I used. You can really create a varied look with just a few stencils.



Be sure to head on over to the MMM post and check out all the fabulous projects by the team and our guest designer Mary Beth Shaw! We also have a new Design Team member to welcome, Lynne Forsythe. It's gonna be an inspiring art-filled year!



Many thanks to our sponsor StencilGirl! If you join in our challenge, you will have a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to their store. Show us what you got! ;-)

The supplies I used for this project can be found at Sizzix or Simon Says Stamp. Follow the links below and a shopping you may go!
