Our Nation's Capital

With the events that have taken place in Canada this week, I thought it was an appropriate time to share this layout. I created this layout as an entry for our local fall fair. The category was A Page Depicting A Historical Location. What is more historical to Canada than our beautiful Parliament Buildings in our Nation's Capital.....

I used Bo Bunny papers, rubons and brads, along with Authentique alphas, Thickers, Tim Holtz Tiny Tacker, texture medium and film strip.

I found the word parliament in an old dictionary and mounted it behind a tear in the top of my page. I stitched around the other edge of my layout with my sewing machine. The key clip is from Michaels.

Although I did not finish the layout on time I was inspired by the sketch from Canadian Scrapbooker and Kewl Beans.

I was also inspired by the following challenges:

Exhaust Your Excess EYE #15 Rubbed the Right way - to use Rubons

Frosted Designs - Get Messy with our Friday Challenge - to use mixed media products and

7 Dots Studio - to use Textures.

.

I also won a First Place Ribbon at the fair!

Stay STRONG & FREE CANADA!!!
