I AM CANADIAN!

I don't have any photos that need scrappin' for Canada Day, July 1st, so I decided to do a little journal page about my first ten years in Canada. I became a citizen in 1986, and wanted to be able to tell my daughters the story of how we came to Canada and a bit about some of the places I've lived, and why it's so important to be to be Canadian. The embellishment is a famous Canadian-ism, "I AM Canadian". It's from a tv commercial, that went viral in the days before viral was.... well... viral. LOL
Here's the LO, and the video. Happy Canada Day!







Font is Tinkertoy, printed on vellum. Most other supplies are bits and pieces from my left-over drawer! Gotta love using up that stash!

Happy Canada Day!

Canada Day is a special day for me. Although I wasn't born a Canuck, I have lived almost my whole life here, coming to Canada when I was my youngest daughters age right now. I've married a born and bred prairie boy, and my girls are growing up loving this wonderful country! I wouldn't have it any other way! Our family usually takes in the festivities of Canada day, and today I'm participating in my first ever Canada Day Blog hop with The Canadian Paper Trail -- a new blog I have the pleasure to DT for. So, here's my LO created from last year's fireworks (always a challenge to take pictures of fireworks!) and my girl's expressions:
