O Canada
It’s July 1st and Canada Day! I want to wish all my Canadian Friends a wonderful Canada Day! We usually spend it on the beach. I think this is the first year in …hmmmmmm….almost 19 years that we haven’t! DH ended up getting yesterday off instead of today so it was a little disappointing. You know how it is when your traditions get a little mixed up! I’m going to enjoy the day with the kids at home though and hope to see some fireworks in the city instead of at the lake. Anyone else have special plans?
While you’re hopefully enjoying some beautiful warm weather, I have a cool card for you today. A fun, funky Christmas design. At Cornish Heritage Farms this month we are celebrating Christmas in July. A month long Christmas theme of Holiday releases in almost every line! Now is a great time to get started on Christmas so that you have lots of time to enjoy the season when it comes! As part of our Christmas in July theme, each day we are giving away Christmas gifts to you with each order. Now how cool is that?
Love Will Keep Us Warm
Today CHF is releasing two new Scrapblocks™ that you will love to use all year round. Stamped in holiday colors, they look festive but I think they would be great for anything. I can’t wait to try out the Daisy Chain on a layout with some photos I took last week. Aside from scrapping, the large 6×6 size makes Scrapblocks™ perfect for making large square cards as well as stamping on embellishments. The mitten chipboard shape in my design was first painted with a Ranger White Paint Dauber, then stamped with the Scroll Scrapblock. The sentiment is a sneak peek of a new Kim Hughes set to be released on Thursday. My layout came from last week’s CPS sketch and the felt snowflakes, ribbon and heart brad from Creative Impressions.
A few pics from our very windy day yesterday at the beach…
Thanks for stopping by…
