HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
And happy 147th birthday, Canada!! We've got a fun day planned today - despite the weather forecast! (Rain, rain, stay away!) We will be going to the Keene (Ontario) Canada Day parade this morning and then attending an early lunch hosted by the town in the fire station. In the afternoon, we'll head to the pioneer village to learn more about our nation's beginnings through their living history demonstrations and wrap things up with a barbecue and swim with my sister and her family. Plus, we'll do all this wearing red and white to show our national pride!
For those of you who don't know, the beaver is one of our national emblems so I decided to make a quick shape card using this fun beaver image from Scrappin by Kris. Before assembling him, I debossed the tail (using a chicken wire folder)! I then used My Craft Spot's Small Alphabet metal dies to spell out CANADA, adding a few white gel pen dots too. This was such a quick card to put together but perfect for Canada Day!
This week's challenge at My Craft Spot is "Patriotic". Wherever you are from, enter your patriotic project for a chance to win this week's prize!
