Hoot if You Love Canada!
This is my latest 8x8 inch scrapbook page for Canada Day!
It was my idea to start a small album of Canada Day projects back in 2010. Then one year after the next, on this special day I will sit down and organize a new addition for the album hoping that one day my grandchildren will have a fond little album to look at!
So I started with Sock Monkey in 2010 and returned with him - [cuz he's just so darn cute for kids] - again in 2011. Strictly RED and WHITE! I think I had thought I might keep him up for a really long time, Sock Monkey in his various celebrations of our "glorious" land......BUT....as we know how 'buts' have a habit of finding their way in to our lives.....I decided to make a departure on this idea and together with the help of my daughter decided on a WOODLAND theme [esp after we found these awesome chipboard alpha letters from Autumn Leaves called Zippy ]. My daughter really wanted me to use a LADYBUG and APPLES theme because that would be cutsey and bring in the national red colour! But {see there's another one...} I couldn't pass up on these Owls included with the Zippy Alpha Stickers, so my tree is sporting this cute coupl e and hence, the HOOT IF YOU LOVE CANADA was born!
Here so far is my samples of scrapbook pages posted where-else but the fridge!

growing fridge collection of scrap pages for Canada Day!
2012 is my new colour scheme!
Detail - owls, ladybugs, trees, sky, and....
...I made APPLES from red circle cardstock and red skittles! Leaf on apples are a small circle punch used to make 'sections' and glued to apple. Tree branch and trunk was a stamped image and treated to some serious brown glitter!! LOVE THE OWLS - so puffy!
Lady Bugs are 1 Red and 1 Black Circle Punch and 1 Black oval scrap and several teeny-tiny circle 'dots' . I cut the red circle in half and layered them over the black circle and glued the head to the back. Tiniest dots ever - were added by dropping a smidge of glue to the red circles using a toothpick and dropping the black dots on top! Then glittered it all with black and iridescent glitter! Voila - ladybugs!
Closer look at 2011's page....see Sock Monkey?

Back where we started!
Oh one tiny detail - I place the year on the page but very discreetly where it can be found but not to interree
YOU should try a National Holiday project too!
