Try It Tuesday: Stencil #2
Katie 
This project actually started out as something different in my head and I’m not sure that I could have planned it to go better than it did. My plan was to create a Hanson symbol out of stencil/thin plastic material and then use my spray inks to make a sort of tie dye / splash red and blue color scheme for the Alive @ Five concert page I was putting together. I decided the spray ink would make too much of a mess inside and was too lazy to bring the supplies outside so instead I used ink. I made the green one first for the Hop Jam (although I’m not sure it actually ended being used for photos from the Hop Jam!) and then the red and blue one for Alive @ Five. Although it came out so cool I almost just wanted to hang it on my wall and not use it as a scrapbook page at all! This actually made me think of a couple of other projects to do related to this stencil so we will see what happens with that – will it work out and become a future blog post?
The Night The Stars Went Out is about Alien, who makes sure that the stars shine bright. He has no friends because he is always so busy shining the stars! That is until one night when the stars went out! In order to fix them, he needed to go to Earth for a special star varnish. While on Earth he realized Aliens float! He was assisted by a boy named George who helped him find the varnish and then asked him to play. Even though he knew he needed to get back to work – he decided he’d take the time to play anyway. Would this be the right choice? You’ll have to read the book to see!
