CAS Challenge CAS227 is Summer! and nothing screams summer more to me than July 1 Canada Day when we get together as a family to celebrate with a barbecue! Rain or shine, we've been meeting at my brother's place for almost 30 years wearing our red and white to honour our Canadian flag! We're not a large family and sometimes a couple of the grandkids are off doing their own things, but it's a tradition I love. We'll take the family photo and drink a toast to my mum who is no longer with us, and share memories, while creating new ones!
I stamped my trio of maple leaves in red and then stamped the sentiment - which is from the Canadian National Anthem - and cut it out with Spellbinders and created a little tag with some gingham ribbon. I'll give the card to the bbq hosts tomorrow on July 1.
Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!!

Your card, is very pretty. I love red and white together, and ,I love the red gingham ribbon. I think the maple leaf, is one of the prettiest. We have lots of maple trees here, and they turn so pretty in the fall. Sounds, like you have a wonderful day planned for July 1st, Canada Day. Enjoy your day, enjoy the barbecue. Happy Canada Day. tfs.
