This layout, which focuses on my thoughts about teaching and learning at an all-girls school, offered the perfect opportunity to use a few of the "Faces" stencils, including Ava...
Edith and Maude...
and fresh-faced Summer...
Using the tried-and-true "ROYGBIV" formula, I worked from left to right, misting over the masks with each color, in order. After violet, I looped back around to red, orange, and yellow, for continuity's sake. Just above each face, I repeated the color order with patterned strips and accents.
Usually I try to stick to a color scheme that involves two or three predominant colors, but I couldn't resist the rainbow of possibilities here (har har). The mix of colors and patterns reminds me of the beautiful faces that I see each day as a teacher in an all-girls school.
Of course, this is just one of a number of ways to use these stencils. For more ideas, check out the other stops on today's blog hop:

One of my most recent contributions to the Garden at Two Peas in a Bucket is the following layout:
I had such a blast playing with the new Studio Calico Mister Huey's Color Mists. In fact, I also used them in the "Why Here?" layout shared earlier in this post. These have been on my wish list for a while now, and I was so happy to finally have a chance to hold them in my eager little hands (and consequently turn those hands blue and red and green).
This brings me to my question -- what is at the top of YOUR Two Peas "wish list"? Given a $15 gift certificate, what item(s) from Two Peas in a Bucket would find its way into YOUR bucket of scrappy loot?
Leave a comment answering this question, and you will be entered to WIN that very gift certificate! One lucky winner will be announced after midnight on Monday, November 7 EST.
Thanks for hopping along with me!
