Firstly congratulations to our new Queen Janine. You have a gorgeous gallery and it took me quite a while to make a final decision! I chose this one Hope Is The Thing by nines at Splitcoaststampers . I also tried to cover the F4A challenge to-day which was to show your patriotism . Last weekend was our Victoria Day holiday (which should be held on the 24th of May like it was meant to be as far as I am concerned). The flag is from a local stamp company and was coloured with prisma pencils and OMS..something I haven't done in a while! Makes a nice break from the 'die-cut mania' I have been suffering from lately. The Maple Leaves and the sentiment are from Mikes $1.50 bin. I used my mini lazer level to make sure my blocks looked sort of 'on the square'! LOL I sure hope they do.

As soon as I saw your card I knew which card you had cased in my gallery. This sketch design is one of my all time favorites and has always received great comments. I absolutely love your card. One of my best friends is from Canada and I know she would really love it too. By the way, your blocks look square, probably better than mine. I will have to check out your gallery, because I am in a die craze right now. Thanks for your kind words.

Hi gallery neighbor! Love your Canadian colors flying in the gallery. What a great way to showcase the maple leaf and flag. You honored Queen Janine so well with this.

Love your card honoring your homeland, Sue. (You have a lovely national anthem IMO....love hearing it at hockey games) The polka dot maple leaves add a bit of fun.

Your squares are PERFECT! I always hesitate to try his kind of layout because I drive myself crazy trying to get them straight. Love the flag and maple leaves, beautifully colored and a wonderful case of her design.
