I hope all my Canadian friends, enjoy a wonderful time with family and friends today! My family is lucky enough to live in Canada's capital and take advantage of all the entertainment downtown each year. This year our children will be with their friends while we are getting up early and heading downtown with ours, umbrella in hand. (I think it rains almost every July first and bringing an umbrella is our way to ensure it doesn't.) Whatever the weather we'll return home to a BBQ dinner with the gang, perhaps go swimming to beat the heat before heading out again to see the fireworks. I love this day!!!
You don't notice it in this photo but my real red stripes are textured using the Big Shot. Sorry I just couldn't get the light to catch the dots, you'll have to take my word for it. Embossed leaf is from the set "With Gratitude" (how appropriately named) that I've kept just for this image. Something exciting in our NEW catalogue, that you can see tomorrow, will mean I can finally let this set go.
So, Canadian friends, wherever you are celebrating have a terrific day and be sure to pause a moment during the festivities to appreciate the freedom and privileges that we enjoy in Canada.
For my American friends, 3 more days and you will be enjoying the same fun, I hope.
Linda
