~it's Canada Day~

I'm not really into celebrating the "birthday of Canada" I just don't 'get it'... so whatever, it's 142 years old - it's a great reason to have a day off work and drink beer and light up the sky with fireworks! ;)

SO! it's day 3 of summer vacation - 69 days to go! ;) LOL

Last night I *thought* I was going to spend the evening being creative and altho' I had great intentions I was BLINDSIDED {Shannon} :P I did get this card made - it's sketch 116 on splitcoast - Shannon picked the sketch, and we decided to use 2 of the new in colours via Stampin' Up! as well as a new hostess set we both have and include embossing. She blew it OUT DA PARK! I kinda missed the part when she told me she was going to scrapbook - here I am flitting with a CARD! {eye rollage}

THEN... I felt compelled to try a card sketch on a layout too :P so I came up with this- We used sketch 208 from splitcoast - to get started then I went on from there...

I was hoping to get to a festival of some kind today - but now it's raining...

Cheers!! :)
