HAPPY CANADA DAY!
We'll be having a busy day here today - Pancake Breakfast, Trivia Questions before the Parade, Lunch and fun and games at my Canamaniac friend Amy's house. It will be Elliot's first Canada Day, so we're looking forward to spending the whole day with him too! Don't think we'll be going to the fireworks though since we have to be on a plane at 1:00am tomorrow morning. WooooHoooo!
AND it's also
Sunday Stamps!
It's a sketch day at Sunday Stamps - and it's a perfect sketch if you're needing to make a card in a pinch. Any shape could be used where the circle is - and that's exactly how this card duo ended up being created.
I had initially created the card with the sail boat - a week ago when I knew I needed to get some of my challenges done ahead of time before travelling on holidays. Then I realized that this post would go live on Canada Day - so I turned around and created a second card, which you see above, using today's holiday as a theme; proving that any shape can be used where the circle is in the sketch!
The two bands across the middle of the sketch provide a lot of room for creativity and for this sail boat I chose to use fibers for both - I'm loving the new stitched ribbon for the new In Colours....and the twine is a wee bit nautical.
Here's the sketch for you to go by and for more inspiration, be sure to stop by the Sunday Stamps Blog to see what the rest of the Design Team came up with this week. Be sure to link your project back to Sunday Stamps so we can see what you've created.
Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians.
Have a safe and fun celebration!

Both cards are great Joan! I love the sailboat in the first one and the leaf in the second one!
Hope you had a great Canada Day and enjoy your vacation!
I was really tempted to make a Canada Day card for this week but just did not have a great stamp set to use! Beautiful job Joan :)
