HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
I'm so excited that Tara (from Homemade Happiness) and Heather (from Princess Paper Projects) have asked me to join a group of talented Canadian crafters to help celebrate Canada Day with a fabulous blog hop!!
We have some great Canadian sponsors lined up for prizes and winning is
going to be so much fun! All you need to do is hop along with us, leave
all the participants some lovely comments, and pick up one "clue word"
from each blog along the way. Once you have all the words then you will
have a special question to answer. Leave your answer in the comments on Heather's blog and "ta da!", you are entered to win one of our great prizes!
Best of all, you will have a blast looking at all the fun Canadian
crafts along the way!
My project to share is quick and fun!! My daughter and I painted our nails red and then used some Cricut vinyl to add little maple leaves to our big toenails and thumbnails. We covered the polish and vinyl with an overcoat as well to make sure the vinyl wouldn't peel off. I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the little maple leaves - but you could use your Cricut to cut them as well. (Thanks to Jen Larsen from Craft-O-Maniac for sharing this idea. As soon as I read the tip, I knew I wanted to do this for Canada Day!)
As I had to get ready for this ahead of time in order to have my post ready, I've been out and about with my Canadian nails and have had a few comments about them! They seem to be a hit!

Adorable! What a fun way to celebrate any special occasion! Happy Canada Day to you and your family Kate!
Love this! I used to do this kinda thing when I was younger but being 7 months pregnant is hard to paint your toes. I love the idea of using the Vinyl though. I am a new follower and also a Canadian from New Brunswick!
Clever idea to have Canada theme going on on nail polish. Happy Canada Day!
