Happy Canada Day 2023!

I love Canada Day and I love using my Cricut Maker. I used a Design Space map of Canada and filled in all the cuts so I could use printed paper. I love how it turned out. I think you could use any kind of paper for this but I used a Creative Memories pack of Canada paper called Canadian Pride. The stickers are from the same fabulous collection.
Please help yourself to the design.

Canada Day layout 2021

Happy Canada Day!
This layout features an Indigenous Canada flag. I downloaded this free printable image to Design Space and cut it as a cut file. The flag is available
Here
All of the printed paper and stickers are from Creative Memories. Creative Memories has some fabulous Canadian collections!

Have a wonderful day!

A very Canadian layout

I'm really not sure what Canada Day will look like this year. Today, I'm sharing my layout from 2020. Our family stayed home but we did all wear red and white and, of course, we took a picture. I'm hoping you can tell this is a replication of a Hudson Bay blanket made with strips of paper. Easy peasy and I love the result!

Canada Day 2020

I realize that Canada Day may look a little bit different this year with physical distancing. I'm hoping that we can still celebrate our beautiful country at home or 6 feet apart. I have seen great starburst cut files posted on facebook. I knew I wanted to play with one of these cut files somehow. I love how this turned out and plan on trying again. What I love about these is that you can make Canada Day layout using red and white paper scraps. I also used two different brands of maple leaf paper pattern paper. One is Oh Canada by Photo Play and one is by Creative Memories.

I'm wishing you all a happy and healthy July the first, 2020!

Canada Day layout

Where did I get inspiration for this layout???? Well, my dog’s bandanna, of course! That’s what so great about creating with Design Space is that you can cut anything you dream up, even the dog’s bandanna.

Happy Canada Day!

Even I can’t believe how many Canada Day projects I have made over the years...

Canada-themed scrapbooking products 2019

Every June, I try and source out Canada Day scrapbooking supplies. Well, and buy them of course!

This is CTMH digital Cricut cartridge featuring the canadian provinces. My consultant is Brandy Lees

This is Great Escape Paper Pack by Creative Memories. My consultant is Shaila.

I also found some new Cricut images this year and a new cartridge! The cartridge is called Fell - Canada and I love it! There is finally a cut for the CN Tower and Niagara Falls! Too bad I already scrapbooked our Toronto trip.

Hopefully, this helps a bit and maybe provides some creative inspiration.

Happy Canada Day 2018!

Welcome to my blog! I love spending Canada Day with my family! I'm THAT Mom that insists on matching shirts, photo ops and then scrapbooking them. Here is one such layout using the We Love Canada cuts on Design Space and the Oh Canada paper.

This layout actually started a few weeks ago, my daughter needed a large maple leaf cut out of paper for a school project. I kept the paper scraps or the negative image thinking maybe I could use it. (Anyone else do this? In my defence, it was nice cardstock...)

Have a wonderful day in Canada or elsewhere in the world!

Canada Day scrapbooking supplies 2018, eh

I am so excited to report this year that there are some new fabulous scrapbooking supplies to commemorate Canada Day! First up, I was playing on Design Space today and look what I found! A new cartridge called We Love Canada! There are only ten images but they are all great. It is included with my Access membership but I am assuming it's free for all next week.

Grab your Cricut and get cutting! Wouldn't these images be great on t-shirts for your family?

There are also 25 free Canada Day cuts on the LOVESVG website.

The next products are from Photo Play Paper Co designed by the talented Becky Fleck. There is a paper pack.

There are stickers, diecuts, stamps and matching dies.

So many great scrappy options this year! Be sure to celebrate our great nation, get out your phones, take some pictures on Canada Day and scrap 'em.

Two more Canada Day layouts!

I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating Canada's 150th birthday! I hope you took lots of photos because I have two more ideas for how to scrapbook your memories.

This image is the logo for Canada Day 2017. I found the cut file for free on the Government of Canada website. Here is the link. I changed it up a bit by using patterned paper scraps.

Yesterday, these two (!!) layouts were featured on the Scrapbook & cards today blog as part of their celebration of Canada. I was thrilled to have my work featured. My kids were thrilled that our dog Chloe's picture was featured...

Here is the link to the blog post of Canada Day projects, including mine.

Happy Canada Day 2017!

Yay! July first is finally here! The kids are done their school year and the hubs as well! We are planning to spend the day enjoying a block party with our neighbours.

Making Canada Day themed pocket pages is quick and easy. I used white, red and black cardstock. No need to try and find "Canada" paper. I mostly used cuts from the Go Canada Cricut cartridge. The heartbeat is a file shared on Cricut Crafters Canada Facebook group created by Karin Adamczyk.

Celebrate today, take pictures with your loved ones and then create a wonderful scrapbook page.

Happy Canada Day 2016!

Happy Canada Day!

Isn't this a great cut from the Word Collage Cricut cartridge? I used the negative image thinking it might be easier to adhere in a straight line.

Did you guys hear the good news? I was thrilled when Cricut announced flat rate shipping of $14.99 to Canada with a minimum purchase of $75 in May. But.... even better, they lowered the minimum purchase to $50!!! This is amazing! In the past, I have put Cuttlebug folders (just Cuttlebug folders) in my shopping cart at Cricut.com and my potential shipping charges were $38. So glad those days are over. I feel Cricut is making a genuine effort to accommodate Canadian customers and I like it.

I searched high and low for "Canada" scrap supplies this year. There really is not much out there. Please leave me a comment if you know of any paper lines. In the meantime, I will happily scrap with these awesome 3X4 cards!

Happy Canada Day 2015!!

Hello!! It's no secret that our family LOVES Canada Day! It's the first day of summer holiday for hubs and the kids! I love making red and white scrapbooking layouts, cards and decor.
I was asked by Paper-Garden.ca to enter a Canada Day Card Making Contest (eek). She even sent me a sample pack of red and white paper to play with. Here is my entry.
