Canada Day Card

Thursday, June 24, 2010
With Canada Day (July 1) just around the corner, I've been working hard on a project for next week's Canada Day Blog Hop.  I am delighted that I was asked to join a group of Canadian crafters to be part of the hop.  Of course, we're Canadian so everybody is invited!!  No matter where you are from, be sure to pop back here on Canada Day for all the details and links.  We'll be showcasing our Canada Day work - and some of us (like me!) will even be offering a little giveaway.  Heather at Princess' Paper Projects is putting it all together.  You'll want to start with her blog - but of course I'll have all the links for you here too.  See you then!

In the meantime, I have also been working on some other activities.  I made this Canada Day Card to give as a thank you to my sister and her girls.  We will spend Canada Day with them, enjoying their food, drinks, and company!  Each year is such a delight - and I'm sure that this Canada Day will be no different.
To make this card, I used Plantin' SchoolBook for both of the fonts and Create a Critter for the beaver and maple leaves.  I felt the beaver needed a bit more, so I made him a she-beaver and added a hair bow.  I used a glitter gel pen on the lettering, and embossed the background with my Cuttlebug. Most items on the card are flat, but the "eh!" is partially glued to Madame Beaver and partially popped.  C'est tout!

On a different note, Sammye Jo at 62 Cards has started a new blog called My Insanely Sweet Life.  She's looking for followers - and has a gift certificate to tempt us all!! What's to lose?

Also, Chris at Turned Gypsy is also offering a $50 gift certificate to CSN at her blog.  I'm taking the bait!!

Don't forget to come back on Canada Day (July 1) for our Canada Day Blog Hop!
