Happy Valentine's day mini album/card

Hey guys,
I've got the flu so just a quick post today.This is a Valentine's Card
 I made using one sheet of patterned paper and a mini album template.
Cut 3 pieces of 4 x 12 paper, score each piece at 4 inches and 8 inches,
fold on score lines.Overlap and glue a 4x4 inch square end  to each other
 and repeat with the last piece.Fold and decorate.On the first glued square
I glued in a long piece
of white ribbon to tie and hold the card closed.
hugs

To celebrate July...

The 1st Canada day and
The 4th Independence day...
I made the following cards.....which I am very

Pleased and honoured to Say is in this months ....
In scrap creations ezine magazine...

Over at
http://inascrapcreationsstore.blogspot.com/2010/06/in-scrap-creations-e-zine-july-august.html

Being Canada day I'd like to say I am very proud to be Canadian...
Where else can you ski 8 months of the year and have such polite people...
I also find it very amusing when I travel the questions I get
Like...
Do you live in an igloo?
Do you use utensils...like forks?
Do you have day care?
Do you go to work on a ski doo?

I live in a real house just like you in a small town...
I maybe a bit redneck but I do use a fork lol
And thank God we have daycare
and I drive a Hyundai elantra.
but it does have a car
starter and heated seats because it is Canada
And it’s freaking cold lol....
Happy Canada   D-eh!!!
Hugs
Brenda
