Canada Day Blog Hop

Welcome Everyone to the Canada Day Blog Hop,
I am so excited to share this day with all of you! It is a wonderful day for celebrating with fellow Canadian friends and family! Today on this blog hop you are going to get the chance to visit 12 Canadian blogs and see some amazing projects. Then it will be your turn to show us what you got! After getting a healthy dose of Canadian inpiration and talent at it's finest you will then be asked to challenge yourself and link up a Canadian project you have created for your chance to won one of 9 prizes. We have some super awesome Canadian sponsors and one American  sponsor who provided us with a Canadian prize. All the prizes and links are listed below. Please check them out for some amazing deals!

Here is the new project I made for today:

Details:
Cardstock: Recollections/Staples
Pattern paper: DCWV (an old holiday stack)
Ribbon: Offray
Stamp: Michael's
Ink: Stampin' Up
Punches: Stampin' Up circle punch, mini maple leaf - Michael's
Cricut: Accent Essentials (scallop circle)
Making Memories eyelets and big bite crop-a-dile
Stickles 

Here is the project I shared before but I just had to share it again! This was made before my days of Cricut and I still can't believe I use to cut all those shapes and letters out by hand, lol. It took me hours and I loved every minute of it!




Your next stop is: Kate from Small bits of paper

And here are the prizes you could be eligiable to win if you leave a comment on each blog and come back here and link up your Canadian themed project: ***after hopping through I see that there was some mis-communitcation on how people could win so I will be picking some from the link up and some from just random comments throughout the hop to make it fair for everyone :) Have fun! ***

You card is great! I love the scalloped circle and inking in the center. Your layout is super fun. I can't imagine cutting out all those leaves. I would have done that too back in the day. : )

Wonderful cards. Belated Happy Canada Day! Especially like the stamping. Rememebering what happened Mar this yr 2011 as I was returning from Ontario back into US the security guard after looking at the rubber stamps I had bought at a Michaels in Ontario said why did I not have a beaver stamp and I told him I could not find a beaver stamp so I had a moose along with the other stamps. He told me his wife did stamping. I had the wonderful pleasure of visiting the following areas of Canada (Niagara Falls where I enjoyed the Falls and the boat ride on the Maid of the Mist), Vancouver (where we took a city tour and bus driver did not count the passengers at one stop and left us behind until the other passengers told him they noticed we were not on the bus) & Ontario (in Mar this yr 2011 I enjoyed the Toronto Zoo, Casa Loma & downtown Ontario where for the weekend I was there Ontario had no snow, no rain & sun was out).
