Canada Day 2008

Photo Details

Poster: basketballmom

This is my page for Digital Scrapbooking Day (today-11/3/12) Challenge #4. We had to use a free template/sketch and red/white (Canada's flag colours).

I went pretty literal with the colours. And the theme. Every year my hometown has a parade on Canada Day. Almost every year our extended family has entered a float. We've won a 'few' times!
This was the first time with everybody on the float ... adults and kids! And is the start of what will hopefully be a series of pages about the many years of floats. Obviously it needs a 2nd page for this journalling.

Everything is from SU!
Canada map outline is from the Providence of Provinces kit.
Maple leaf is from the Places I've Been swatchbook template.

Great layout. Love the use of the map in the corner with the maple leaves tucked behind it.
