Good Friday morning! I have a number of thoughts running through my head at the moment. One in particular is a sentiment I saw the other day . . . Someday my cowboy will come. I like that . . . nope, I LOVE that sentiment! I think it will be on a card real soon! I wrote it on the white board above my desk so I wouldn’t forget . . . . 
I’m feeling BAD, very very BAD!!!!
I suppose I should get serious for a minute. Today is the Just For Fun® Friday Color Challenge after all! Now I have to admit that I picked the colors this week and I had a horrible time with them. Many, many ideas went into the trash and the one I really wanted to do . . . well, let’s just say that it didn’t work either.
We would love to have you play along with us! You don’t have to use Just For Fun® stamps, especially if you don’t have any yet. However, if you do play along, you might just be the lucky winner of a $50 shopping spree! All you have to do is make a card/project using the above colors and post a direct link on the Just For Fun® Blog.
For further inspiration, you should also visit the blogs of the other Designers. They’ve got some awesome projects to share with you today.

Since I bombed on my major idea, I thought it would be fun to try my hand at Faux Postage. If you’ve ever been to a stamp convention when JFF is there and you’ve stopped by the booth, you’ve seen the Faux Postage Demo. It is by far the best demo I’ve ever seen and I’ve never ever tried it. There’s a great tutorial on the Just For Fun® Blog that Sandy Sandrus did for us.

Ok, Sherry, I cannot say …behave! Because when you are bad you are very bad and something good always comes out of that! Keep up the good work! I really am enjoying your card. This has so much interest…..so many things to catch you eye. Very nice!
Gorgeous card your badness. I mean Sherry. I’ve never seen this before. I must be in a fog. There is so much interest on your card, and i’ve never been to any convention at all. I guess that I have been missing out. Well I’m off to learn about the faux postage technique. TFS!!! I love the colors you’ve chosen. 😀
Love your card! Thanks for putting a link to the tut….looks like fun!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Good luck with the cowboy thing!!! Heh-heh-heh!!! 😀
Love this card Sherry!
Beautiful, Sherry! I love how the faux postage technique looks with these colors and those stamps! (I can’t wait to see how you use that fantastic new sentiment!!!)
I’m loving that faux postage technique!!!!
Ok…I can’t wait to see what you do with the cowboy saying (heheh….the Toad’s ring on my phone is Cowboy by Kidd Rock….oooohhhh, you’ve sent me down a BAD train of thought!! BHWHAAAAAA)
I like the look of the faux postage….have never tried this either!! Great job with the colors, btw (wink)
Hey Your Royalness, I too can’t wait to see what your badness comes up with next with the cowboy saying…….I think you rocked the faux postage technique, I too just went down that BAD train of thought as I sit here at my desk snickering and everyone is looking BHWHAAAAAAAA…..I just love it!!!
Beautiful card Sherry. Everything came together very nice. I love all the colors.
Sweet and simple.
Well the postage stamps I get never looked this good! What a great card Sherry!
