Those Canadian Boys...

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canucks! Not sure what we've got planned for the day, but it usually starts with me changing my boys out of whatever their dad has put on them that morning, so that they've got the right colours showing. He's getting better, and if he remembers what day it is, will ask me what I think they should wear. St Patrick's day is another story altogether, and somehow that's always the day he picks to dress them all up in orange...

Here's a layout I did for Practical Scrapper's Canada Day projects. Since we have a few Canadians on the team,  We couldn't let the 4th of July-ers have all the fun now could we?

For the Record

That's the name of the new Echo Park paper collection that I played with last night between feeding a fussy baby and trying to give someone computer support via chat on Facebook- never a great idea unless both parties know a great deal more about computers than either of us did- lots of room for mis-communication.

Anyways, I've been meaning to get some photos of my mom with the boys scrapped, but never really had the "right" papers. These papers are a bit different for me, but I can't wait to play with the whole collection now that I've had a taste. I was a bit of a bum, and swapped these with the Springtime collection I was originally given, (since I don't have much use for pinks and pastels) I'm kinda kicking myself, because I wish I could have seen what my pal JJ would've created with this line. ( sorry JJ!)

I did have some fun breaking out the distress inks, and my edge distresser, as well as fussy cutting and layering some of the cool stickers.
