SSNOTIME141***PATRIOTIC COLORS***

Hi everyone!! I have been in my garden, outside, anywhere but in front of the computer.

The weather here in Southwestern Ontario has been HOT and HUMID and SUNNY!! Great gardening weather. I have everything planted, the grass cut, the patio furniture out!! Feels GOOD!! Anyway today is our STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE and since it is Memorial Day in the States this week Sharon decided that we all make a card with the colors of the flag of our country.



Last weekend was Victoria Day in Canada. Our flag's colors are red and white. And since I don't have a maple leaf stamp I decided to make a card that I could use for any celebration .

I used an image from PTI's Limited Edition Anniversary set in Pure Poppy ink along with red rhinestones and red and white cardstock. Super simple. The sentiment is from the same set and can be used to celebrate a national holiday, a birthday, an anniversary or anything special.

Check out Sharon's site HERE for all the details and check out all the fabulous patriotic creations from our design team.

BACK TO THE GARDEN I GO!!!

Your card is breathtakingly beautiful!

It made me think of the cheerful little 'Happy Canada Day, Neighbors!' card I'm trying desperately not to post on my blog until June. . . I think it's so cool that our countries celebrate the same week.
