Oh Canada!

Yes I know it is almost mid Jan and not July 1st, I also don't sit in my craft room singing our National Anthem although if you do bravo :).

My co-worker is taking his Canadian Citizenship test today, I know he will do just fine. I think I have reviewed more elementary school history the last couple of weeks to make me wonder how on earth I every made it through to graduation.





I know the results won't be in for about a month but I figured I would plan a head and give this to him and maybe some Red Velvet cupcakes when he has completed his Citizenship ceremony. I think Red Velvet would be as close to red and white as I will find this time of year. I am not up for baking fancy cupcakes.

Supplies: Natural white and white cardstock, Designer Paper-Best Creations Inc, HOTP-Mix your messages.

Cheer,
Nina


The card was relatively simple to create, for the bottom layer and maple leaf I used this fabulous red glitter paper. The center piece textured cardstock, and I cut the Maple Leaf with my SCAL and Cricut.

  3. Hi Sis,

    This is choking me up!

    I've often thought of this too, new people who go for citizenship certainly know more about our country than we do. I think we take a lot for granted.

    What a beautiful way to be welcomed, thanks for being a positive face on our whole country. I'm sure its not always so.

    Your card is amazing and I bet it will not get put away... possibly ever.

    This is parta why I love you so much!
