You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on YouTube and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

![A stencil can create more than one look
One stencil can create more than one look by using pieces and parts to build a new pattern. Join me as I create a scalloped pattern and once you know how to build the pattern, you can make it any size you want. Just a couple of rows makes a great border or edging. Fill an entire page to create your own patterned paper.
