Faith (yabbadodo) is our guest hostess for the Tickle challenge this month. Here's her challenge for us:
July 1st is Canada Day and July 4th is Independence day, so I think we should have a huge Birthday party to celebrate.
Canada Day celebrates the birthday of Canada. 150 years ago, On July 1, 1867 Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act - formerly known as the British North America Act. What's a patriotic celebration without a parade? There will be parades held in cities, towns, and villages all over Canada today. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have an established group called the RCMP Musical Ride. These 32 officers, who are rotated after three years service, perform equestrian drills for the public throughout Canada. Other Canada Day traditions that are gaining footholds are picnics, festivals, sporting events, and firework Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as "the Fourth of July". 241 years ago the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Patriotic displays and family events are organized throughout the United States. Celebrate Independence Day Independence Day is a day of family celebrations with picnics and barbecues, showing a great deal of emphasis on the American tradition of political freedom. Activities associated with the day include watermelon or hotdog eating competitions and sporting events, such as baseball games, three-legged races, swimming activities and tug-of-war games. Many people display the American flag outside their homes or buildings. Many communities arrange fireworks that are often accompanied by patriotic music. The most impressive fireworks are shown on television. Some employees use one or more of their vacation days to create a long weekend so that they can escape the heat at their favorite beach or vacation spot.
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION: Create a card featuring any of the various fun activities, for celebrating the day, whatever you have a memories of from your own celebrations. Try to include a little red white and blue, but you can use other colours too.
DESTINATION STATION: This week our destination is each other! Once a month, we send our cards to each other! A little payback and reward to the teapotters for always sending their cards to the recipient of the Destination Station.

Hi ladies! I just thought I should let you know why my card is not uploaded yet. I have been in the middle of re-arranging my room because I was told I had to make more room to get around in for my wheelchair. That has been a huge job for me as I am limited in what I can do. I think I finally am done and will have my card finished and uploaded tomorrow. I have taken a quick look at the gallery so far and the cards are amazing and I know there are several more to come yet. Thank you for being so supportive and making the effort to contribute. See you tomorrow and will have comments then.
Hugs,
Faith
