Happy Canada Day!!

It is a beautiful sunny day for it too...at least so far. 

For some reason, I woke up at 4:30 am this morning.  Wide away for no reason.  My eyes just popped open -- very strange.  Since I was wake and there was no way that I was going to be able to fall back asleep, I decided that I would get up and finish off a challenge layout that I was working on.  The challenge was to use a mask.  A fairly simple challenge but it did get my creative juices moving.

The other night I had misted, painted, stamped and inked a piece of Bazzill dot cardstock to create the base of the layout.  The next step was to figure out how the rest of it come together.  So after much fiddling, shifting, layering, distressing, inking and playing around....


Materials used:  BoBunny pattern paper, Bazzill dot cardstock, Tim Holtz stamps, dies & distress ink, Cuttlebug quilling dies, Golden Acrylic Pearl Mica, Versamark ink, Tattered Angels chalk mist and misting screens, Prima flowers, and American Crafts Thickers.

I am loving the BoBunny Peacock Lane pattern paper.  I love all the purples.  It is my favourite colour and one of my favourites to scrap with as well.  It fit perfectly for my youngest school picture.

I got it done just before my kiddos decided to wake up and take over the dining room table with their breakfast mess.

Not sure how we are celebrating Canada Day yet.  It will depend on how the weather holds up.  I heard rumblings of possibility of rain later on this morning.  We might take the kids to one of the outdoor celebrations with games & a midway or we might head over to the Museum of Nature and check out the dinosaur exhibit.  Either way....it will involve separating the kiddos from the Lego Harry Potter game.  If they had their way, they would play the game the whole day.

Have a fabulous Canada Day!
