Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

JFF August Challenge

"Sand in Our Toes" is the theme for Just For Fun's August Challenge.  Here are a few that I have created over the last few months.   In 5 of them I used the same (Sunset at the Seashore G3652) as the base and then chose a different silhouette image to stamp over the colored sunset image.  All the images were colored using Copic markers.


Don't forget to like and  share Just For Fun on Facebook.

Happy Father's Day

Wishing my Dad, my Husband, my Son and Son in Law all a wonderful Father's Day.  


Hope you enjoy this Fathers Day card as much as I enjoyed making it.   The water effect  is made using a zip lock bag with hair gel inside.   I really makes it look like a ship in a bottle.

Here are two other cards that are great for the special Father in your life.

Summer has arrived in Florida

Yes, summer is here and it is HOT,  I can't believe we are in the mid 90's each day now.  Our air conditioner is already working overtime and does not sound really great.   Say a prayer, last one more year.

So keeping with the summer theme I used two different "faux postage" stamps from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps®.  They look like a film strip, but in two different styles.  Stamping exactly the same stamp images I wanted to show the difference between the postage images.

 

image number G3527                                 image number  F3528
