Proud to be Canadian

Finally, a card.  It feels like a very long time since I have made a card.  This one is to celebrate being Canadian.  Our country celebrates our independence on July 1st and although we are proud to be Canadian we aren't usually ones to put on a big show.  Unfortunately sometimes that translates to the fact that we aren't very patriotic.  Our oldest daughter leaves in August for a 2 month trip which includes Barbados, Europe and Greece.  One of the key things she keeps hearing is how to display that she is Canadian and that she will receive a warm welcome as one.  Sometimes other people need to remind us that Canadians are wonderful people. 

My card is made to signify and celebrate all the wonderful Canadians I know.  Happy Canada Day everyone!!  I used the sketch challenge from Mojo Monday 145, the color challenge from Curtain Call Color Challenge 36 and although I followed a patriotic challenge at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge, I incorporated it as a patriotic Canadian card.
