About Me
I'm a 65 year old living in Toronto Canada. I started paper scrapping in the 1990s & switched to digital in the early 2000s.
I've been happily married for 35 years with 2 adult children. We have a married adult daughter & a late son. (He had multiple severe disabilities - nonverbal autism, severe intellectual disability, atypical bipolar disorder, epilepsy and was a XYY male. We lost him 5 years ago at age 25 to SUDEP - Sudden Death in EPilepsy). I consider him my greatest teacher. Graham's photo and memorial page are here: https://www.autismbrainnet.org/donor/graham-brown/ (The same photo and tribute are also on the North American SUDEP Registry Our Stories page which he shares with others. Graham's donation was a joint donation to both sets of researchers.)
I'm retired but originally a children's librarian (public library) and then a supply (substitute) teacher. My favourite classes to teach were kindergarten, grades 1-2, middle school and especially special education. I particularly liked teaching students with autism or intellectual disabilities or adhd or learning disabilities or who needed behavioural support.
My hobbies (other than digital scrapping and photography) are knitting, board gaming, reading, journaling especially bullet journals, fountain pens,listening to a wide variety of music, classic movies and foreign language films and cooking (low carb/keto now since it controls my Type 2 diabetes.) I have a big interest in history, geography and different cultures and read a lot in these areas. I mostly read nonfiction but I do enjoy science fiction and fantasy. My husband and I share our home with 3 rescue kitties.
I consider myself a beginner with scrapbook design and I am enjoying learning.

Description
Please note, if you've previously downloaded this kit, I've revised only one item in this kit, the flag flair/brad by making the edges smoother. If you wish, you can download just the revised item here:

I designed this kit to celebrate the wonderful diversity of Canada, my country. Some of these items have been previously uploaded but I wanted to have them all together in a kit. The shadows are for the preview purposes only, the elements are not shadowed.
It consists of the following:
3 Papers:
a red flag paper with "Canada" in script, Canadian Flag paper, a paper with brown maple leaf (a pin given to soldiers in World War I. This pin belonged to my husband's grandfather who lost his leg at Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917.)
33 Elements. These elements include:
-Crest for Canada
-Crests for all 10 provinces & 3 Territories (includes alternate crest for Nova Scotia)
-Crests for these cities:
Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria (Quebec crest can be for both province and Quebec City)
-Crests for Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Niagara Falls
-Beaver sticker
-Canadian flag enamel pin
-Canadian flag flair/brad
Word Art: some of the lyrics for O Canada our national anthem, Canada & Canadian in wood, a maple leaf stamp with the word "Canada", a wooden sign with "True North Strong and Free", brown badge with Canada on it and a brown maple leaf pin. (These last 2 items were from the uniforms of Canadian soldiers in World War I. They belonged to my husband's grandfather who lost his leg at Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917.)
Fonts used: Antara Distance Standard, Bevan Regular, Kashie Mercy. Odin Rounded Bold, Sexsmith Regular, Steelfish Bold

Hi Anne, I've been to Lebanon, Syria, Jordon, Egypt, Israel & Turkey, 21 years ago now - wouldn't go today! Just wondering if you'd do some crests & flairs for those countries too, please?
You're welcome Robynne and Shannon.
