Driving across Canada . . .

I decided to group the pictures from my drive across Canada into one post. It was a gorgeous drive. I never realized how large Ontario was until I drove across it. And what a gorgeous province too. WOW! I stopped so many times and just snapped random pictures of scenery, which if you know me, is a huge deal because in general I think the most fun vacation pictures are the ones with people in them, not just what you saw. In this case, I think I had to make an exception. I felt like I was some amazing photographer when I looked at the results of the pictures I snapped really fast with my digital camera, but it was truly just the amazingly gorgeous places we were passing. I wish I could have stopped and taken more pictures. It was all truly breathtaking.

While we were driving down the road we came across this giant "loonie" and I immediately had to pull off the road and stop. I had wanted to go see the giant nickel in Sudbury, but apparently they moved that into a museum and it costs like $30 to get in, so I decided against that one, but this was just as cool to see. The kids were excited to get out of the car and take a break and loved the pretty purple flowers.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
