The Stencilfied Journal | Prompt #10: Using stencils document your day.⠀
⠀⠀
I procrastinated on this page. I couldn't figure out how to do it! But I need to finish prompts 10 + 11 before I can do next week's prompt (I already know what it is... 😱), so I had to do 'something'!⠀
⠀
I decided that 'something' would involve blocks of colour. There was only one @stencilgirl_products stencil in my collection that fitted the bill: 'Shape Shifter' by Mary Beth Shaw (@mbshaw).⠀
⠀⠀
I used @decoart Americana paint to stencil the shapes. The pink I used is a gorgeous neon pastel pink that my camera refuses to pick up!⠀
⠀
Next, I took a black pen and doodled elements of my day onto the page, using the stencilled shapes as a rough guide. ⠀
⠀
I finished the spread by colouring and shading some of the doodled images with (watercolour) pencils.⠀
⠀
Any guesses on what happened on the day I documented? It certainly was eventful!⠀

The Stencilfied Journal is a StencilGirl® Collaboration Challenge hosted by the fab @adogslife13. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
From June through September she's sharing one 'Wreck this Journal'-esque prompt a week (16 in total). ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
It's not too late to join us! So if this sounds like something you'd enjoy then, by all means, grab a notebook and... stencilfy it!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
------⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please note that though I am a @stencilgirl_products columnist and the stencil I used in this post was given to me to use for my column, this is not a sponsored post! I'm participating in this collab because I think @adogslife rocks and the challenge is a lot of fun!!!

Morning light | I believe these are called 'Morning Glory' in English.
⠀
You only see them in the morning, and by noon they're all rolled up and gone. ⠀
⠀
These flowers are a good reason for having a cup of tea or coffee in the yard first thing in the morning.
⠀
Because if I don't head out to see them, I miss out on all their colourful beauty!⠀

@susannahconway is hosting #augustbreak for the 10th time this year! TEN years! How amazing is that!
⠀
I can't find evidence of whether I knew about August Break 10 years ago, but I've been following Susannah for a long, long time and I wouldn't rule out the possibility.⠀
⠀
August Break is the perfect 'challenge' for this summer month. There's no pressure. Anything goes. It's such a fantastic initiative to help you stop and notice the small things. ⠀
⠀
So if you feel like you could use a photo, journaling, daily check-in, whatever-you-want prompt this month, then I highly recommend August Break. Take it as an invitation to go offline (on life)!⠀
