This is a layout I created after returning home from convention- I was really inspired to play with my product in a new way. I wanted to mix one piece of patterned paper with different colours of cardstock to create something really distinct. I love when CTMH artwork does this and really aspire to get good at it!

In this layout I used a piece of patterned paper from the Animal Cookies kit and matched it with Sweet Leaf and Dutch Blue Cardstock. I LOVE how this turned out- this is actually the first time that I have 100% been happy with a Canada Day layout I created. I find it a very hard event to really do justice too. It also helps that I had the fabulous Oh Canada stamp set from CTMH.

To add some fun elements I was generous with my stamping but also did some fun circles created using three different colours of brads. The best element was the tag booklet on the layout- this is the MAGIC part and for more details you will have to wait!! But, the booklet is amazing and mine holds an additional 10 photos!!! Instead of clogging up my layout OR making one event into more pages than I needed I used this special layout and it is all there in such a magical way!! Watch for more artwork with a similar MAGICAL feel!
