Today I am showcasing a cute little "brag book".  Yes, I know, everyone has cell phones these days, however, NOT everyone likes to carry their pictures in their phones.  My dad was like this.  So in memory of my dad who passed away suddenly 2 weeks ago, this book is for him and for my step-mom since she always took the photo albums I made away to keep in her purse anyways. ;)

After stamping my images from several different sets, Island Life, Light My Way Home, Silly Shells, Scenic Selections, Sand Dollar Mini and Big Trees then colored using prismacolor pencils before stippling Tim Holtz distress inks over and around the images.  I put the lighthouse with saying for the brag book front and then the shells for the back.  The only embellishments added were the ribbon, and flowers with ice stickles centers for my step-mom.

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day and let us take you to the Beach. We hope to inspire you to start your own Fun in the Sun.  Get to work on the tutorials, show us what you made by Feb. 12th and check back on Feb. 13, 2016 to see if you are a winner.
