Hi, today I am back with an unboxing video and some fun art journal inspiration. Join me as I unbox the 2023 Stencil Calendar by Art by Marlene. I am also going to show you a simple way to use the stencils as a starting point on your art journal pages.

Here is a close-up on the mini art journal layout I created by combining two of the stencils for the background.

I was going for a quick and simple page with basic techniques … but still the finished layout looks so great! Love a quick layout that I can pull together in 5 minutes as a daily art excercise!

  1. Oh, no! I’m so very sorry to hear you were sick with Covid and also glad to hear that you’re feeling much better. May you experience a full recovery soon. Thank you for unboxing the advent calendar in a video. What a unique idea! And the art journal page you did is adorable! I could relate the quote and your experience last week to when I was sick for some months earlier in the year. Perfect quote. I couldn’t have said it better! Sending you “get all well soon” wishes.

  2. So sorry to hear that you were ill, but thankfully you are now feeling better. I pray that you are soon back to excellent health. I love the idea of this set and I really like what you did in the journal……….but, then again I love everything that you create! Thank you for sharing this video.

  3. Missed you! So very glad you are feeling better! I love the advent calendar and how you used ink blending to color the bird!
