Canada


I've never been to Canada,but my daughter and grandchildren visited there last year. So when I saw the 'Oh Canada' challenge at Use Your Stuff , I thought it'd be a good opportunity to scrap one of their holiday snaps.

I used a combination of papers from My Mind's Eye and plain cardstock. I designed and cut the title and the maple leaf on the Silhouette Cameo (actually the partial cutting on the leaf was a bit of an accident but I like it). I used lots of grey, to enter the challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge  and buttons for Lasting Memories.

    Fabulous! Love that big maple leaf with two different patterned papers. Cool! Where was this photo taken...The CN Tower in Toronto? Thanks for playing along at Use Your Stuff - Gail

      Thanks Gail -it's my daughter's photo so not sure exactly where taken - but she did have other photos of the CN tower, so you're probably right.

    Great idea using a cut maple leaf as a background for the photo taken in Canada. I take lots of photos on my travels and I really should be making something with my favorite ones...
